A clean wheat lager with a tropical lift

Susukino Yell STAND is featuring “Brasserie Knot ‘NoMaps2026,’” a wheat lager brewed by Hokkaido brewery Brasserie Knot. The beer has an ABV of 5.5% and an IBU of 29, balancing a gentle wheat softness with the crisp, transparent character associated with lager.

The beer’s description highlights hop aromas inspired by the southern hemisphere. Beneath its clean lager profile, subtle tropical fruit and white-floral nuances gradually emerge. It remains clear and easy-drinking while retaining enough aromatic individuality to keep each sip interesting.

The “NoMaps2026” name also suits the beer’s sense of discovery: light, fresh, and suggestive of an unfamiliar island atmosphere. Its moderate bitterness and refreshing finish make it suitable for relaxed drinking and food pairings, especially for guests who enjoy the rounded texture of wheat beers but prefer the clarity of a lager.

Susukino Yell STAND is located in the basement of COCONO SUSUKINO in central Sapporo. The beer pub focuses on craft beer from Hokkaido and offers an approachable stop for exploring local brewing. For a beer with a soft wheat body, southern-hemisphere hop aroma, and clean finish, “NoMaps2026” is a fitting pour to seek out in Susukino.
