Kawasaki Brave Thunders will launch THUNDERS BLACK and the new THUNDERS CRAFT FREE at its home games in Kawasaki from September 26, 2026. The release marks the third entry in the club’s original craft beer series and introduces its first non-alcoholic beer.
Developed with breweries in Kawasaki, the lineup is designed to make arena dining more inclusive. THUNDERS CRAFT FREE gives drivers, families, and guests avoiding alcohol a way to join the game-day toast, while still enjoying the atmosphere of a basketball game in Kawasaki.
THUNDERS BLACK costs ¥950 (tax included), while THUNDERS CRAFT FREE costs ¥550 (tax included). The non-alcoholic beer will also be sold in cans after games, extending availability beyond service during the match. The products are intended for customers attending Kawasaki Brave Thunders home games.
