In an Instagram post at 9:57 a.m. on March 18, 2026, Fukuoka Craft Brewing (Fukuoka) reported that its seasonal product Spring Breeze had "sold out in less than a month since going on sale." The post also mentioned that the beer had won the Bronze Award at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2026, and said inquiries have been increasing amid the response following the award.

At present, the brewery's direct-sale stock is sold out, but according to the post, it may still be available through restaurants, liquor shops, supermarkets, and other retailers. For fans who missed out, checking store shelves or tap locations may be the most realistic way to get a hold of it.

Fukuoka Craft Brewing is a brewery based in Okagaki, Fukuoka Prefecture. On its official website, it highlights a full-scale brewing facility that makes use of Okagaki's environment, along with an on-site taproom, maintaining a setup that balances local roots with a commitment to quality. This post again introduced the brewery's focus on brewing with groundwater from Okagaki Town, showing how a design philosophy that includes not only ingredients but also the "water" itself appears to have led to the results of an award and a sellout.

It is not unusual in the craft beer market for an award-winning beer to disappear from shelves in a short period, but it is noteworthy that a local brewery from Fukuoka is expanding demand on the strength of a nationwide award result. Going forward, it will be worth keeping an eye on the brewery's announcements, including information on the next release and whether it will return.
