Yo-Ho Brewing Co., Ltd. announced on the 5th that it will offer a new limited-time product, 'Sora to Shiba Seasonal #24 Bat Ale 2026,' starting from 'F FES 2026 supported by Fanatics' on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at the craft beer brewery restaurant 'Sora to Shiba by Yona Yona Ale' located within the 'ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO' stadium in Kitahiroshima City, Hokkaido.
A craft beer made by upcycling broken bats used by ten Nippon-Ham players, including Kotaro Kiyomiya and Franmil Reyes. It was created as a co-creation project with fans called the Sora to Shiba Bat Beer Project, with some parts of the process carried out together with the fans.
The 'Sora to Shiba Bat Beer Project' is a co-creation project that upcycles broken bats used by Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters players into craft beer together with fans. In its inaugural year of 2024, approximately 400 people applied for the event to process the raw material bats, which was 20 times the capacity. Due to its popularity, the project was implemented in 2025 with 2.5 times the participant capacity and double the number of bats used. This fiscal year, the participant capacity for the event was expanded further to 60 people, 1.2 times more than last year.
