Fukutsu craft beer joins everyday shopping

Golden Brewery announced that its products became available on September 18, 2026, at the liquor section of Aeon Mall Fukutsu and at Maxvalu Fukuma Station. The lineup includes three beer varieties and one non-alcoholic beer.

The new retail distribution gives customers another way to enjoy Golden Brewery’s beers beyond its brewery café and online shop. Visitors can pick them up as a souvenir from Fukutsu, while local residents can also pair them with meals at home or choose them during a routine grocery trip.

A brewery shaped by Fukutsu’s seaside setting

Golden Brewery is located near Fukuma Beach in Fukutsu, an area sometimes described as the “湘南 of Kyushu.” Its brewery was completed in 2023, when brewing began in the city. The brewery focuses on beers that are approachable for people trying craft beer for the first time, while still offering a comfortable drinking experience for seasoned enthusiasts.

Rather than pursuing intensity alone, Golden Brewery says it pays close attention to aroma, mouthfeel, and finish, with the aim of creating beers people want to reach for again and again. Its GOLDEN BREWERY CAFE serves freshly brewed beer with food in a relaxed setting and also welcomes guests with dogs. The brewery’s work was recognized with a silver award at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2025.

With the latest retail launch, beers brewed near Fukutsu’s coast are now easier to find around town. For beer fans in the area, the new availability offers a convenient chance to bring a taste of the local brewery to the table.
