Hayabusa is a Japanese-style lager from Beachwood Brewing, the celebrated Long Beach, California craft house. It pours a brilliant, pale straw gold with a fine white head that settles to a delicate ring. The aroma is clean and inviting, offering soft rice notes, a whisper of floral hops, and crisp cereal grain. On the palate, it's refreshingly light-bodied with a smooth, well-attenuated character — subtly sweet upfront, balanced by a gentle bitterness that recalls classic Pacific lager traditions. The finish is dry, clean, and exceptionally quenching, making it an effortlessly sessionable brew. Hayabusa captures the elegant restraint of Japanese brewing culture through a distinctly Californian craft lens.

About Lager

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Lager?

Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.

Finding a similar Lager

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same clean, crisp, dry character as HAYABUSA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
