Our Story & Inspiration
Our new revolutionary collection of east-meets-west recipes coming together in a beautifully unexpected collaboration launch with our friends at Matcha Cafe Maiko.
Discover authentic Japanese ingredients infused into decidedly Californian craft beer for an adventure unlike any other, literally- "Midnight in Tokyo" Hazy Matcha IPA is the world's first beer of its kind, and "Dusk in Kyoto" is the only Hojicha Lager on earth! These are just a few of the groundbreaking combinations you will find when you discover Shogun, so stop by the Embolden Tasting Room in Miramar and experience craft beer from a fresh perspective. Every flavor is a treat for the senses, because every sip is brewed with honor.
"Was picking up an Ube-flavored beer at Trader Joe’s that looked interesting when the checkout person told me it was from a San Diego brewery with other Asian-inspired beers. I loved their ‘Dawn in Ube,’ so I came to Embolden to check out what else they had. Turns out they’ve got traditional craft beers, Asian-themed brews, and even hard seltzer/kombucha lines. My favorites included their matcha and hojicha beers!"
