Hop BroToday I want to talk about Tempest from OHLOY Brewing at OHLOY STORE in Takamatsu, a first-batch saison that's worth watching.
MugiWait, this is OHLOY Brewing's very first batch? That already sounds like a debut pint I want to chase down!
Hop BroExactly. It's a light 4.5% ABV build, with a simple recipe using Citra and Merkur.
MugiWhoa, 'reducing variables' sounds like a beer science meeting and I was not prepared for homework!
Hop BroIt just means they kept things simple to read the equipment better. That also lets the saison yeast character come through as soft and bright.
MugiWhat! A test batch that's still delicious is unfair. If it's a clean, tidy pint, I'm already curious.
Hop BroAnd the name Tempest is clever too. It layers Test with Mind, People, and Environment, so it's a meaning-packed name.
MugiSo it's not just trial brewing, it brings in people and place too? That's basically drinkable philosophy!
Hop BroThat's the beauty of a brewpub like OHLOY STORE. You taste the startup energy itself, and Tempest follows from their first beer Yoreh.
MugiWow, if the glass comes with a story like that, my urge to visit Takamatsu is getting out of control!
Hop BroTempest sounds gentle, but full of the feeling of this exact moment. Now I just want to drink OHLOY right now.
OHLOY Brewing, the brewery behind the brewpub OHLOY STORE in Uchimachi, Takamatsu, has introduced its first batch beer, Tempest. The beer is a Saison at 4.5% ABV, brewed with Citra and Merkur hops and fermented with the same Saison yeast used in earlier work.
The recipe was built to keep variables to a minimum, making it suitable as a test batch to check the condition and quirks of the new brewery setup. Even so, the finished beer is described as more than just a technical trial: it has a clean, well-balanced profile with a gentle character and a bright edge.
The name “Tempest” also carries meaning. It combines the idea of a test with the initials of Mind, People, and Environment, suggesting a brewery that is thinking beyond the glass. For a brewpub like OHLOY STORE, that context matters. It is not only a place to drink beer, but also a place to watch a local brewery’s identity take shape.
It is also worth remembering Yoreh, the first beer from OHLOY Brewing. Tempest follows that original release and marks the next step in the brewery’s story in Takamatsu.
