Choryo Sake Brewery to Ship Summer New-Release Six-Pack Set A from July 23
Choryo Sake Brewery’s online shop is offering the “July New-Release Variety Set (6 new beers) A,” which includes three SUMMER SAISON and three HAZY IPA - Summer. Shipping begins on July 23, and the final deliveries are scheduled for August 8.
Hop BroI wanted to bring up Choryo Shuzo's new set today. Their "July New Variety Set (6 new beers) A" starts shipping on July 23, and you get to compare two summer releases, three cans each.
MugiWait, six cans of new releases only? That feels fancy! Choryo Shuzo is known for sake, and now they're going this hard with craft beer?
Hop BroExactly. It comes with three SUMMER SAISON cans and three HAZY IPA-Summer cans, all 360ml, for 3,450 yen before tax, 3,795 yen total.
MugiOoh! But saison and hazy IPA already sound like totally different planets. How are both of them supposed to feel summery?
Hop BroSUMMER SAISON uses two herbs and four hops with saison yeast, so it drinks dry and refreshing. You also get a light spicy note, which is perfect for hot weather.
MugiHold on, saison yeast suddenly sounds like science class! What does that actually mean when you're drinking it?
Hop BroThink of it as a crisp aromatic yeast and you're good. It keeps the beer from feeling heavy, ties together the herbal and spicy notes, and makes it easy to keep sipping in summer.
MugiOkay, then what about thiol-boost yeast in HAZY IPA-Summer? That name sounds like a final boss!
Hop BroThis is where Dolcita hops and special yeast come in. They're pushing the aroma forward, aiming for lychee and pineapple notes plus a creamy texture in the summer 2026 edition of the seasonal hazy IPA series.
MugiWhat is that, a summer double feature? And both were canned on July 22, 2026 with a 30-day drinking recommendation, so the timing really matters, huh?
Hop BroYeah, it's basically a freshness race because aroma is everything. Shipping starts July 23, the last delivery date is August 8, there's an extra 330 yen for refrigerated shipping, and you can't order non-beer items with it.
MugiNow I want to toast immediately! Start with SUMMER SAISON to cool down, then dive into HAZY IPA-Summer for that tropical wave... I'm already thirsty just imagining it.
Set overview
Choryo Sake Brewery, based in Koryo, Kita-Katsuragi District, Nara, is selling a craft-beer assortment built entirely from new releases: the “July New-Release Variety Set (6 new beers) A.” The set contains six 360 ml cans and is priced at JPY 3,450 before tax, or JPY 3,795 including tax.
Two summer beers, side by side
The lineup is simple: `SUMMER SAISON` x 3 and `HAZY IPA - Summer -` x 3. SUMMER SAISON is described as a summer-focused saison brewed with two herbs, four hop varieties, and saison yeast, aiming for a dry and refreshing finish. The filling date is July 22, 2026, and the brewery recommends drinking it within 30 days of packaging.
HAZY IPA - Summer - is the 2026 summer release in the brewery’s seasonal hazy IPA series. It uses the hop variety Dolcita and thiol-boost yeast, with tasting cues such as lychee, pineapple, and a creamy texture. Its filling date is also July 22, 2026, with the same 30-day drinking window.
Sales conditions
The product page states that shipping starts on July 23 and that August 8 is the final delivery date. It also notes an additional cool-box fee of JPY 330, and says the set cannot be purchased together with non-beer items.
Known primarily as a sake brewery, Choryo also maintains a craft-beer lineup through its online shop. This set is built to show two different summer beer expressions in one package: the dry, herbal lift of a saison and the fuller, fruit-forward character of a hazy IPA. For drinkers who want a seasonal comparison rather than a single-style release, it is a straightforward and well-defined offering.
