Beer Again Brewing releases 'CHUNAI' Belgian White with Harupin of Dasara Saito Couple
Beer Again Brewing in Gotemba, Shizuoka has unveiled 'CHUNAI,' a Belgian White collaboration with YouTuber Harupin of Dasara Saito Couple. The beer is built around New Summer Orange for a light, citrus-forward profile.
Hop BroToday's topic is CHUNAI's new release. V Again Brewing in Gotemba teamed up with YouTuber Harupin from the Datsusara Saito couple for its first Belgian White.
MugiWait, a YouTuber collab and a Belgian White? That is a lot all at once! And CHUNAI sounds hyped before I even drink it!
Hop BroWhat really matters is New Summer Orange upfront. Fruit from Sato Farm in Higashi-Izu leads the flavor, and they kept it light at 4.5% ABV.
MugiWhoa, but Belgian White what is that exactly? Is it literally a white beer? If there's milk in it, I'm running!
Hop BroNo milk here, just soft wheat haze. Wheat gives it that cloudy look and a gentler mouthfeel, so it drinks smooth and rounded.
MugiOkay, then what about coriander aroma? That sounds like a curry shop just kicked the door open.
Hop BroNot that wild. It's more of a citrusy spice lift, and with New Summer Orange peel it turns into a bright, refreshing aroma.
MugiOh, I like that! So it's perfect for daytime drinking? First beer of the day, outside, instant good mood?
Hop BroExactly, and the Mt. Fuji natural water matters too. That's very V Again Brewing, bringing out the ingredients' aroma in a clean way.
MugiWow, the local feel and the collab angle really work. Makes you toast again totally fits, and now I want a CHUNAI in the sun.
Hop BroThen it's settled, top first-pint pick goes to CHUNAI. Soft wheat and bright citrus, the kind of beer that makes you want to cheers right now.
The collaboration
Beer Again Brewing, based at the foot of Mount Fuji in Gotemba, Shizuoka, has released a new beer called 'CHUNAI.' It is a Belgian White at 4.5% ABV, and it is the brewery's first beer in that style. The beer was made as a collaboration with Harupin, a YouTuber from Dasara Saito Couple.
Flavor design
The key ingredient is New Summer Orange supplied by Sato Farm in Higashiizu. The recipe layers the soft wheat body of the style with New Summer Orange peel and coriander, aiming for a bright aroma and an easy-drinking finish. The brewery says the beer also leaves a gentle sweetness and rounded wheat character at the end, so it is not only light, but also balanced.
Brewery context
Beer Again Brewing is located in Gotemba, Shizuoka, and says it uses natural water from Mount Fuji to bring out the character of its ingredients. The brewery also works across a campsite, bar, and event space, with a goal of making beers people want to toast with again. 'CHUNAI' fits that approach well: it ties local ingredients, a collaborator's taste, and the brewery's own style exploration into one release.
With its citrus brightness and soft white-ale texture, the beer looks suited to a first pour, daytime drinking, or a casual outdoor session.
