Hop BroAt the Paddle Brew Mt. Tsurugi Brewery in Mima City, Tokushima Prefecture, production has finally begun. For beer lovers, this is the kind of moment when a new base starts moving that really hits home.
MugiWait, it’s already started!? Three batches completed sounds like it’s moving faster than I expected!
Hop BroExactly. Right after a move, equipment tuning can get hectic, but if it’s gotten this far, things are going pretty smoothly. In other words, the startup is becoming concrete.
MugiBut seriously, how impressive is three batches? When I hear brewing count, it suddenly sounds super factory-like and I can’t picture it!
Hop BroOne brew equals one batch, so that means they’ve run the process three times. It’s the stage where they’re working while checking repeatability, and it’s a sign that production is starting to move into full swing.
MugiOhhh! Paddle Brew’s concept of making nature more fun is great too. It already makes me picture the scenery before I even drink it!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: they’re drawing on the trailhead of Mt. Tsurugi, the highland environment, and spring water refined underground beneath the mountain. In other words, they’re trying to turn the underground water of a sacred peak into flavor.
MugiWow, that’s amazing! And they’ve been using water from the Anabuki River and local ingredients for a while, right?
Hop BroThat’s right. They’ve also made beers themed around rivers, forests, and mountains, plus products using cedar chips, so it feels like they’re bottling the atmosphere of the land itself. That’s what you’d call regionally rooted brewing.
MugiThat’s so cool! If they can keep putting out that distinctive lineup steadily, I’ll definitely want to check every release.
Hop BroTotally. The specific labels and styles are still ahead, but I’m already looking forward to what kind of glass will come out of this place. This is exactly what it means when you say you can’t wait for the next pint.
MugiJust reading about it makes me want to drink one already! I can’t wait to meet a Mt. Tsurugi pint in a glass.
Paddle Brew is a brewery based in Mima City, Tokushima Prefecture, that has been dedicated to making craft beer under the idea of “making nature more fun.” On its official website, it introduces its new base as the “Paddle Brew Mt. Tsurugi Brewery,” aiming to make beer that takes advantage of the high-altitude environment at the trailhead of Mt. Tsurugi and the spring water refined beneath the sacred peak.
In this Instagram post, the company said production had started at the new brewery and that it had already brewed three batches. During relocations and startup phases, it often takes time to adjust equipment and stabilize brewing, but the fact that it has already moved on to multiple batches suggests that actual production is getting off to a smooth start.
The company has also previously highlighted its individuality as a small-scale brewery, using water from the Anabuki River and local ingredients. An introductory article in the Tokushima Shimbun also featured its lineup tied to the local landscape, including beers themed around rivers, forests, and mountains, as well as products made with cedar chips. As operations at the new brewery move forward, it may allow this regionally rooted beer-making to develop more steadily.
Paddle Brew’s new production base is not just an expansion, but the next step toward turning the natural environment of Mt. Tsurugi itself into flavor. It will be worth following along with the brewing progress to see what kinds of beers emerge from this place.
