A West Coast IPA inspired by Okagaki

The brewery is located in Okagaki, Fukuoka, where Mount Yukawa and Mount Kodai-ji rise on one side, while fields and the windsurfing destination Hatsu Beach stretch out in the other direction. The beer was brewed as a tribute to the mountains surrounding the brewery.
