OUR BREWING Unveils "Sierra Snow Stout," Limited to 5 PM
On April 3, Fukui City's OUR BREWING announced on Instagram its limited beer "Sierra Snow Stout" for the Kyoto After-Bath Craft Beer Festival 2026. It is an Oats Cream Stout, a dark beer with 6.5% ABV, and it will be tapped only from 5 PM.
Hop BroToday it's about the Sierra Snow Stout that Fukui's OUR BREWING put out. It's a limited beer for the Kyoto After-Bath Craft Beer Festival 2026, and the fact that it's being tapped all at once from 5 PM is irresistible.
MugiWhat, a limited tapping from 5 PM!? That's the kind that makes you keep checking the clock. And it's called Snow, but it's a stout? What's that about!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it's an Oats Cream Stout. Using oats gives it a smooth mouthfeel, and even as a dark beer it doesn't have harsh edges. In other words, it's the kind of beer that goes down smoothly but still has depth.
MugiHuh! But 'smooth from oats'... is that like adding thickness to barley tea? Suddenly it sounds less delicious and more like a science experiment!
Hop BroIt's similar, but not quite the same. Oats tend to soften the texture thanks to their fiber and proteins. Add the toasty aroma of roasted malt, and it becomes a rich, flavorful dark beer.
MugiIs it true that on top of the roasted aroma, it even has a strawberry-like scent? A dark beer that smells fruity is making my brain short-circuit!
Hop BroIt really does. Hops can sometimes give off a slightly red-fruit-like aroma, and when that is combined with the roastiness, you get an aromatic layering that's not just about bitterness.
MugiI see, so it's not just a heavy dark beer after all. And with an ABV of 6.5%, it sounds like it'll have plenty of body!
Hop BroExactly. OUR BREWING is a brewery from Fukui, and I like their stance that beer helps people connect more. You can see a design where one glass at an event starts a conversation.
MugiA limited beer you drink while feeling the atmosphere of the venue in Kyoto already feels special. The moment it hits 5 PM, I'll be holding up my glass and feeling pretty cool!
Hop BroOne last word: this is definitely a beer to wait for. The softness of oats and the roasted aroma of a dark beer, enjoyed with Kyoto's evening light, would probably make both of us laugh.
MugiYeah, just thinking about it makes my throat tighten! All I can do is stay jittery until 5 PM with the feeling of wanting to drink it right now!
