OUR BREWING introduces Hoppy Hour Ver. West Coast Style - Cold IPA
Fukui-based OUR BREWING has shared a new beer update on Instagram. The beer, Hoppy Hour Ver. West Coast Style - Cold IPA, blends New Zealand and American hops and is described with grapefruit and lightly sweet pineapple aromatics, firm bitterness, and a dry finish.
Hop BroI’ve got a good one today: OUR BREWING in Fukui just dropped Hoppy Hour Ver. West Coast Style- Cold IPA. A fresh release from Fukui like this really gets my attention.
MugiWait, that name sounds intense! Does Cold IPA just mean an IPA served ice-cold?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s not only about temperature; it points to an IPA that lets hops pop while keeping a dry finish.
MugiWhoa, then what are resin and dank notes? That suddenly sounds like a science lab and a basement at the same time!
Hop BroIt means piney, sticky, deep hop aromas with a slightly green edge. Here, they swap that Cascade-like vibe with New Zealand hops, which is a pretty sly move.
MugiAnd they’re blending New Zealand and American hops? That’s a global hop team-up! Grapefruit and slightly sweet pineapple sounds amazing.
Hop BroExactly. Brewer Nakanishi says the NZ hop character overlaps with the tropical side of Mosaic and Citra, creating a modern balance overall.
MugiBut if it still keeps an old-school feel, does that mean there’s solid bitterness too? So it’s not just tropical juice?
Hop BroThat’s the key. It hits with bitterness, but the finish stays light so it doesn’t wear you out. If you had it at their taproom in MINIE by Fukui Station, it would feel like a trip in one glass.
MugiThat’s unfair in the best way. OUR BREWING brews new beers every week, right? I want this now, and I want your full nerd commentary with it.
Hop BroDeal. Hoppy Hour Ver. West Coast Style- Cold IPA sounds like the best of bitterness and aroma, and now I really want to clink glasses and test the theory.
OUR BREWING has introduced a new beer update on Instagram: Hoppy Hour Ver. West Coast Style - Cold IPA. The post says the beer is built around a combination of New Zealand and American hops, expressed through the brewery’s regular Cold IPA framework.
According to brewer Nakanishi, a classic West Coast IPA is often defined by the resinous, dank character associated with Cascade. In this version, that profile is shifted toward New Zealand hops, creating a modern finish that pairs well with the tropical notes of Mosaic and Citra while still keeping an old-school edge.
The beer is described as showing grapefruit and lightly sweet pineapple aromatics, along with solid bitterness and a dry, crisp drinking impression. It looks like a hop-forward beer designed to stay balanced rather than overly heavy.
OUR BREWING is a craft beer brand based in Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture. Its brewery and taproom are located inside MINIE, a commercial complex near JR Fukui Station. The brewery also emphasizes making beer that brings people together, and its steady stream of new releases reflects that hands-on, experimental approach.
