INGRY MONGRY in Higashiosaka highlights Enokorogusa Ale with Fukui Press
Higashiosaka-based craft brewery INGRY MONGRY introduced its collaboration beer with dye factory Fukui Press on Instagram. The post says the beer was also featured on eo Hikari Channel 11 and sold out first at an event.
Hop BroThere’s a fun one out of Higashiosaka's INGRY MONGRY today: their collab beer Enokorogusa Ale with Fukui Press really stands out.
MugiWait, a dye factory and beer? My brain just painted a pint glass tie-dye!
Hop BroThat town-factory angle is the point. A local workshop collab like this brings INGRY MONGRY's playful brewing together with Fukui Press's reuse mindset.
MugiHuh, okay! But the name Enokorogusa Ale already sounds wild. Is the style basically an ale, and what does it taste like?
Hop BroYep, it’s an ale-style pour, and the post says that despite the look, the drink is dry with a clean finish.
MugiHold on, a dry drinking feel? What is that supposed to mean? Is this beer or desert air!?
Hop BroIn beer terms, it means sweetness doesn't linger. Add a herbal kind of aftertaste, and it sounds surprising but still easy to drink.
MugiOhhh, a herbal aftertaste makes it sound fancy! Fluffy name, crisp taste, way too much plot for one glass!
Hop BroAnd it was featured on Instagram and eo Hikari Channel 11 too, so it clearly caught attention as a local release.
MugiIt even sold out first at the event? That is dangerous information for a slow walker like me!
Hop BroApparently it's still at the brewery's direct sales counter, but only a little left. That's exactly the kind of collab I'd chase down fast.
MugiThen that's it, let's go drink it now! I want a glass of Higashiosaka craftsmanship with Hop-bro commentary on the side!
A collaboration born in Higashiosaka
INGRY MONGRY, a craft brewery based in Higashiosaka, introduced "Enokorogusa Ale," a collaboration with Fukui Press, a local dye factory, in an Instagram post. The brewery frames its work around a manga-and-anime-inspired world view, and it also sells directly from its factory in Higashiosaka.
What the post says about the beer
According to the caption, the beer was featured on eo Hikari Channel 11 as well. It is described as dry and crisp on the palate, with a slightly herbal finish. The post presents it as a beer with a surprising ingredient profile, but still easy to drink.
Strong response at events
The brewery says the beer was the first to sell out at an event, and that a limited amount is still available for direct sales at the factory. Fukui Press is known for dyeing and for reuse-oriented projects, so the collaboration connects beer making and textile processing through a shared local manufacturing culture.
A very local craft story
The partnership brings together INGRY MONGRY's playful beer-making approach and Fukui Press's circular thinking about materials. In that sense, the beer is more than a novelty collaboration: it reflects how Higashiosaka's small manufacturers can turn local know-how into something people can taste, talk about, and take home.
