Pop-punk fans, beer lovers, and anyone who enjoys a good collab—this one’s for you. The Story So Far has teamed up with Craftrock Brewing to release a special edition ale, just in time for their return to Japan after six long years. Because what pairs better with a high-energy punk show than a cold, band-endorsed brew?
A Cheers to Their Return
The Story So Far’s last trip to Japan was back in 2018, and after years of anticipation, they’re finally back—and they’re making it count. To mark the occasion, they’ve joined forces with Craftrock Brewing, a Tokyo-based craft brewery known for its small-batch, high-quality beers.
While the exact flavor profile of the beer hasn’t been fully revealed, we can expect something refreshing, unique, and worthy of a proper toast to their long-awaited return. Given Craftrock Brewing’s reputation for killer brews, this collab is likely to be just as punchy as the band’s discography.
Where to Get It
The exclusive ale is expected to be available at select locations in Japan, most likely tied to the band’s tour stops or Craftrock’s own taprooms. If you’re lucky enough to be in Japan for their shows, this might just be the ultimate pre-gig drink.
A Growing Trend in Music & Beer Collabs
This isn’t the first time a band has partnered with a brewery to create their own beer, and it definitely won’t be the last. From Metallica’s Enter Night pilsner to Blink-182’s Wasting Time IPA, musicians teaming up with breweries has become a trend that’s here to stay. The Story So Far’s entry into the craft beer world feels like a perfect match—after all, their music has always been a go-to soundtrack for late-night hangs and good times.
A limited-run beer from one of pop-punk’s most beloved bands? Sounds like a collector’s item in the making. Whether you’re in Japan and able to grab a pint or just appreciating the effort from afar, this is a cool moment for both music and craft beer fans.
If you’re in Japan and get your hands on one, raise a glass and let us know how it tastes!
