A Glass Where Coffee and Craft Beer Overlap

The traditional-house brewery Ray Day Beer in Uruma, Okinawa, is introducing a COFFEE STOUT that makes use of coffee aroma. In its post, the brewery revealed that it uses coffee beans roasted at Tettō Coffee in Enohi, Uruma City, presenting the beer as an effort to connect craft beer and coffee culture in a single glass.

While this stout has the bold presence you would expect from a dark beer, its flavor is designed with lightness in mind. The image describes it as "a black beer that feels like iced coffee," and although it has a roasted character, it finishes clean, making it something you can naturally keep drinking as if you were enjoying iced coffee on a hot day.

On the production side, the brewery also touches on the use of chaff, which is produced in large quantities during roasting. By adding chaff during the brewing process, it says the flavor gains more depth than usual and finishes with a toasted aroma. Ray Day Beer values the process of getting closer to its ideal taste with each batch, and this COFFEE STOUT also expresses the overlap of different cultures in one glass.

Ray Day Beer is a brewery based in Uruma, Okinawa. It is also known for serving freshly brewed beer in a space that makes use of a traditional old house. This COFFEE STOUT is also available in bottles, which makes it a nice option not only for enjoying on-site but also at home. As a beer that combines local coffee with brewing skill, it is packed with the distinctive local appeal of Uruma.
