Two guest cans


The photo in the Instagram post shows AUSMA in a black can and Uchu Lager in a green-and-gold can with bold white lettering. AUSMA is labeled Tropical Smoothie Sour, while Uchu Lager is labeled Helles Lager. The AUSMA can carries both the UCHU BREWING and Ārpus Brewing Co. logos, confirming it as a collaboration beer.

WITCH CRAFT Market is a beer pub in Ozu, Kikuchi District, Kumamoto. A lineup like this reflects the venue’s identity well: a fruit-forward sour on one side, and a clean lager on the other. It is the kind of pairing that makes both first pours and side-by-side comparisons easy to imagine.

Starting with AUSMA for its aroma and brightness, then moving to Uchu Lager for a more restrained finish, gives a clear sense of how wide craft beer can be. It is a straightforward but compelling guest-beer combination.
