Fête Mishima Brewery Releases Spring-Limited “Printaniéres” Strawberry Belgian Wit
On March 6, 2026, Fête Mishima Brewery announced its new spring seasonal release, “Printaniéres Belgian Wit (Strawberry Belgian Wit).” Compared with the previous pale ale version, the beer has been revamped into a Belgian wit, highlighting a dry finish layered with strawberry, raspberry, and Japanese black tea.
Hop BroSpring news is here! Fête Mishima Brewery released its spring-limited “Printaniéres Belgian Wit (Strawberry Belgian Wit)” on March 6.
MugiWhat! Even the name is cute! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroLast year’s strawberry beer was a pale ale, but this year it’s been revamped into a Belgian wit. It layers strawberry and raspberry with Japanese black tea for a dry finish that isn’t too sweet.
MugiWhat even is a Belgian wit!? And does “dry” mean spicy!?
Hop BroIt’s a light, wheat-based white beer style, and the Belgian yeast aroma is the key feature. And “dry” doesn’t mean chili-pepper hot; it means a finish that isn’t syrupy and cuts cleanly.
MugiOhhh! So it’s not cloyingly sweet like a strawberry dessert? That’s a relief!
Hop BroExactly. And it’s 5.5% ABV, 18 IBU, and 3.1 SRM. The bitterness is gentle, the color is very pale and springlike, and what’s interesting is that it uses Spalter and Triskel hops, plus white koji and quinoa.
MugiWhat is that! It suddenly sounds like science class! But hearing “apple-like and banana-like aromas with strawberry and raspberry” makes me really want to try it!
Hop BroAnd it fully captures what makes Fête Mishima Brewery itself, with its local Mishima ingredient focus. The label expresses spring excitement with a “dance of strawberry fairies,” so it’s the kind of beer that lifts your mood before you even take a sip.
MugiThat settles it! This has to be the next drink. I want to toast with this not-too-sweet strawberry Belgian wit right now!
Shizuoka-based craft brewery Fête Mishima Brewery announced a renewal of its spring-limited beer in an Instagram post titled “New Release‼︎...” (March 6, 2026, 16:17). The “strawberry beer” offered last year has been redesigned this time with a style change from pale ale to Belgian wit.
This release is Printaniéres Belgian Wit (Strawberry Belgian Wit). The post describes it as “a dry, easy-drinking pour that isn’t too sweet and is perfect for spring,” and presents a design that layers the ripe apple and banana-like aromas associated with Belgian yeast with sweet-tart notes of strawberry and raspberry. The beer is balanced across acidity, bitterness, and sweetness, making it approachable even for people who do not usually prefer sweeter beers.
Published specs (from the post)
- Product name: Printaniéres Belgian Wit (Strawberry Belgian Wit)

- ABV: 5.5%
- IBU: 18

The label design also incorporates the sense of springtime excitement through its color palette and a “dance of strawberry fairies” concept. On its official website, Fête Mishima Brewery says it produces craft beer and fruit sparkling beverages using local Shizuoka water and ingredients, operating as a small brewery attached to the bistro “allez” in the Mishima Station area (10-8 Ichibancho, Mishima City, Shizuoka Prefecture). This seasonal release also seems to embody the brewery’s approach of making the most of regional ingredients.
