Hop BroGot an Okinawa beer story for you today: Cliff Garo Brewing is launching its canned Okinawa 100 Views Series in September.
MugiWhat, a whole can series? Okinawa 100 Views already sounds like a vacation with snacks!
Hop BroAnd they are not easing in. Vol.1 and Vol.2 arrive as limited simultaneous releases, and both beers are brand-new.
MugiWhoa, but the beer style is undisclosed? How am I supposed to emotionally prepare for that?
Hop BroThat is the clever part. They are building anticipation with label-first storytelling before the style details even drop.
MugiWait, label-first storytelling sounds like the can is introducing itself before I even crack it open!
Hop BroBasically, yeah. The artwork pulls you into the setting first, and here the can becomes the artwork itself.
MugiOkay, that is cool. A painter-brewer combo means I would want to line the empty cans up afterward.
Hop BroAnd since this Okinawa City brewery has used local fruit and spices before, I am expecting a strong sense of place in the beer too.
MugiSo the scenery is visible, the flavors are secret, and now my curiosity is fully carbonated.
Hop BroHonestly, I already want one. Just hearing about Vol.1 and Vol.2 makes me want to open both side by side.
MugiSame here! This feels like drinking Okinawa in September, and I want both cans the moment they land.
Cliff Garo Brewing in Okinawa City announced on Instagram that its new canned series, “Okinawa Hyakkei,” is about to begin. The series will turn everyday Okinawan scenes, from well-known spots and eye-catching objects to unnamed streets, into beer label art.
According to the post, sales are planned to start in September. Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 will be released at the same time in limited quantities, and all of the beers inside the cans will be new creations. The brewery also says it hopes people will keep the cans and display them after drinking.
Cliff Garo Brewing is a microbrewery based in Taka-hara, Okinawa City. It is known for beers brewed with Okinawan fruits and spices, as well as for labels that carry small stories. In this project, Cliff, who is both a painter and brewer, appears to be using the label as part of the beer’s expression.
The brewery has long worked with local ingredients and a strong sense of place. With “Okinawa Hyakkei,” it is extending that approach from flavor to packaging, inviting drinkers to enjoy the landscape as much as the beer itself. The new releases are likely to draw attention not only for what is inside the can, but also for what is painted on it.
