Minoh Beer's "Momo Weizen" taps at Awatachi in Fukui, with an aged version on offer
At BEER BAR Awatachi in Chuo, Fukui City, Minoh Beer (Osaka)'s seasonal label "Momo Weizen" has been tapped. Posted as an announcement timed to the Hina Matsuri peach festival on March 3, the bar says this pour uses a brew made with fragrant, sweet Shimizu Hakuto peaches and aged in a refrigerator for about half a year, resulting in a calmer, more settled drinking profile.

MugiWhat! You can drink a popular Osaka beer in Fukui? And it's a Hina Matsuri tradition? That's so special!
Hop BroThis time, the key point is that it uses Shimizu Hakuto peaches, which are fragrant and sweet, giving it an elegant fruit character.
MugiHuh, what kind of beer is Weizen? In my head it's basically a drink made of wheat bread!
Hop BroYou're close. Weizen is a style with softness from wheat malt, and when it's combined with peach, the ester-driven brightness comes through softly.
MugiEsters suddenly sound like chemistry class! So in terms I can understand, that means fruity aroma compounds, right?
Hop BroExactly. And because this barrel has been aged in the refrigerator for about half a year, you can enjoy a rounded, mellow finish.
MugiA half-year-aged peach Weizen? That's romantic! And Awatachi serving it mainly in half-size pours is so considerate!
Hop BroYeah, it's served as soon as TAP4 opens up, so if you want it, go early. The first half of March schedule is also easy to reach from near Fukui Station, which is helpful.
MugiAlright, I'm sold. Just imagining the calm peach aroma is enough! Tonight, let's toast with aged peach Weizen together!
BEER BAR "Awatachi", in 1-chome Chuo, Fukui City, easily accessible from the Fukui Station area, announced that it will be serving "Momo Weizen" as a guest beer.
This time, what's on tap is a popular fruit beer from Osaka's Minoh Beer. In the post, the bar explains that although the announcement comes after Hina Matsuri, this has become an annual tradition, and that this season's glass is a version made with Shimizu Hakuto, a peach known for its rich aroma and gentle sweetness. Another highlight is the barrel, quietly kept in refrigerated storage for about six months, which lets drinkers enjoy a smoother, more rounded expression different from the fresh September release of the same label.
The serving style also reflects the bar's character. By offering each pour mainly in half-size servings, the bar makes sure more customers can enjoy it. Craft beer fans who want to sample rare seasonal beers in small amounts will appreciate the setup. The post notes that service will begin "as soon as TAP4 is free," so if you want to drink it for sure, an early visit is recommended.
The same post also announced the business schedule for the first half of March: Friday, March 6, 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; Saturday, March 7, 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; and Sunday, March 8, 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. It's worth checking out as a place in downtown Fukui where you can carefully enjoy a seasonal guest keg.
