Primary Barrels rolls out four new releases from its brewery in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto
Primary Barrels, based in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture, is introducing four new beers in its online store. The lineup includes a Hazy IPA, Coffee Stout, Farmhouse Ale, and West Coast IPA, drawing attention for its broad range from a brewery operating out of a former school.
Hop BroPrimary Barrels' four new releases from Fukuchiyama, Kyoto are really going all in. The online store has unbound / Hazy IPA, Coffee Stout, Farmhouse Ale, and West Coast IPA, and the range of styles feels great.
MugiWhat, four releases all at once!? And the names are already stylish too. Just seeing them lined up is making me excited!
Hop BroWhat makes this interesting is that they brew at `THE610BASE`, which was renovated from the former Naka-Rokuninbe Elementary School. Just hearing that it uses a former school site gives the beer this feeling of carrying a sense of “origin,” doesn't it?
MugiWow! But what makes a Hazy IPA “hazy”? I was thinking maybe they brew it in fog!
Hop BroNice one. The key is cloudiness and aroma: it pushes the tropical hop aroma to the front while softening the bitterness so it comes across smooth and rounded.
MugiI see! So `unbound` is a glass that goes hard on aroma, right? Just the name alone already sounds like it's ready to take off freely!
Hop BroMeanwhile, `Chill to Tipsy / Coffee Stout` is all about the richness of roasted malt. You can enjoy coffee-like roast character and the depth of a dark beer, so the more slowly you drink it, the more it pulls you in.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And `TURN UP / Farmhouse Ale w/Lemon & Lemongrass` has lemon and lemongrass in it, right? Wow, isn't that so refreshing it practically turns into a summer breeze?
Hop BroExactly. It adds a light herbal freshness to the rustic character of a farmhouse ale, making it easy to pair with food. What I like is that it doesn't stop at wildness; it's also designed to be easy to drink.
MugiAnd it even has `STARLIT SEVEN / West Coast IPA` too, that's almost unfair! The bitterness and crisp finish of the hops make it end with such a sharp snap, it's irresistible!
Hop BroOn top of that, because it's a brewery that also shows playful use of local ingredients, like the earlier `CHERISH` and `Cha Cha`, it really has its own identity. If these four distinct bottles are coming out of a brewery on a former school site in Fukuchiyama, that's definitely something you want to compare side by side.
MugiYeah, I'm at maximum urge to do a tasting lineup today! I want to start with the aromatic Hazy IPA and then finish clean with the West Coast IPA!
Primary Barrels is a craft brewery based in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture. It brews inside THE610BASE, a complex facility renovated from the former Naka-Rokuninbe Elementary School, and it emphasizes an attitude that values its origins and beginnings.
The top of its online store currently features four beers: unbound / Hazy IPA, Chill to Tipsy / Coffee Stout, TURN UP / Farmhouse Ale w/Lemon & Lemongrass, and STARLIT SEVEN / West Coast IPA. The lineup clearly shows the distinct character of each style, from an IPA that foregrounds hop aroma, to a coffee stout that highlights roasted malt nuances, to a farmhouse ale brightened with lemon and lemongrass.
Looking at the brewery's earlier releases, beers such as CHERISH, a sour ale made with strawberries, and Cha Cha, which combines gyokuro green tea and yuzu, show that it also takes an interest in local ingredients and flavor design. This new set continues that direction while offering a structure that lets drinkers enjoy the differences in mouthfeel and flavor.
Primary Barrels is sending out beers from a site built on a former school in Fukuchiyama. As a brewery rooted in its local background, it broadens the pleasure of choosing, from bottles that pair easily with meals to ones meant for savoring aroma and bitterness slowly.
