Fete Mishima Brewery Releases "Dévelop Mishima 5," an Improved Version of Its Core IPA
At 4:09 p.m. on February 5, 2026, Fete Mishima Brewery in Mishima, Shizuoka announced on Instagram a brushed-up version of its standard IPA. By introducing a new hop for the first time and revising the malt design, this beer shifts away from its usual citrus-led profile toward a softer aroma reminiscent of peach and apricot.
Hop BroMugi-chan, hot new release news from Fete Mishima Brewery in Shizuoka! They’ve put out "Dévelop Mishima 5," a polished version of their standard IPA.
MugiWait, an improved standard? So the usual one evolved!?
Hop BroExactly. It stays an IPA, with ABV 6.0% and IBU 45. They kept the structure but tuned the aroma away from citrus-heavy and more toward peach and apricot.
MugiIBU 45 sounds suddenly like a test! Is it really that bitter?
Hop BroIBU is a rough guide to bitterness. Forty-five is classic IPA territory, but this time the first-time hop "Mercur" keeps the bitterness clean, so it finishes more crisply than aggressively.
MugiOhhh! So the numbers are solid, but the drinkability is lighter! That’s a sneaky kind of upgrade!
Hop BroAnd they also changed the malt bill a little, which softens the way the aroma comes through. On top of that, they’ve given the finish a clean snap that works for warmer weather.
MugiWhat, so it’s an IPA that just clears your mouth right out for spring and summer!? It sounds like it’d go great with food too!
Hop BroExactly that perspective. Fete Mishima Brewery is a brewery that really values food pairing, and the name "Dévelop" also ties into the redevelopment of the area in front of Mishima Station, which is scheduled for completion in 2027.
MugiA beer and a city both getting upgraded at the same time? That’s awesome! I’m going to go drink that peach-aroma IPA right now!
What Fete Mishima Brewery introduced this time was "Dévelop Mishima 5," an IPA that refines its core lineup. The style is IPA, with an ABV of 6.0% and an IBU of 45.
In the post, the brewery explains that by changing the hopping and malt bill "just a little from the usual," the beer developed aromas of peach and apricot. The first-time-use hop "Mercur" supports an elegant citrus note and a clean bitterness, while the finish has been tuned for a crisp, refreshing character suited to the warmer months ahead. It sounds like an update that keeps the backbone of the standard IPA while reworking the drinkability to feel lighter.
The name "Dévelop" also layers in Mishima Station's ongoing redevelopment timeline, which is scheduled for completion in 2027. As the city is refreshed, the recipe continues to evolve. That attitude from the brewery is reflected in this latest "refinement of the standard."
Fete Mishima Brewery is a brewery that emphasizes brewing with Mishima water and ingredients from Izu. It operates with roots in the restaurant "aiai," founded in 1972, and continues to share its work from a renovated space in front of Mishima Station, which also houses the bistro "allez." True to its focus on pairing with food, this IPA balances a lively aroma and well-judged bitterness in a way that naturally invites thoughts of how it would match with a meal.
