OUR BREWING Announces TOTALFAT Collaboration and New Autumn Beers
Fukui-based OUR BREWING has published its October newsletter, highlighting recent festival appearances, a collaboration with rock band TOTALFAT, and a lineup of beers planned for release this month. The brewery continues to connect its beers with music, sports, and local community events.
Hop BroOur Brewing in Fukui City is charging full speed into autumn. First up: they brewed Keyaki Hazy for the festival for their third Keyaki Beer Festival appearance.
MugiWhoa, a festival-only beer? Pineapple and mandarin notes already sound like dessert in a glass!
Hop BroIt’s a Hazy IPA, known for its cloudy look and rich, juicy character. Even rough weather did not stop repeat pours and can purchases—clearly a seriously juicy beer.
MugiHazy means cloudy? They did not just forget to wash the glass, right? Is cloudiness part of the flavor?
Hop BroExactly. Hop compounds and yeast create that haze on purpose, giving the style its character. So, the haze is intentional. The glass is innocent!
MugiInnocent! And I need to hear about the TOTALFAT collaboration, “OUR CHANT.” Does that mean you can toast with the music?
Hop BroThat’s the idea. Their vocalist Jose joined the brew for this crisp XPA, layered with expressive hop aroma. Expect strawberry and muscat aromas, plus lemon and grapefruit.
MugiThat aroma lineup is a superstar band! Is XPA related to IPA? If it has a pleasantly balanced bitterness, it sounds perfect around a live show.
Hop BroXPA means Extra Pale Ale: refreshing and easygoing, but still hop-forward. “OUR CHANT” is also the official Sabai JAM beer, so its music pairing is certified.
MugiA running event, then a craft-beer train too? Fukui autumn has too many excellent excuses to drink! I want to toast with beer and scenery!
Hop BroOctober also brings a Fest Lager, Oat Cream Hazy IPA, Farmhouse Ale, and West Coast IPA. Let’s open a Fukui-brewed autumn beer with a great playlist.
MugiDeal! If we spot Keyaki Hazy or OUR CHANT, we toast immediately. I cannot wait for the next pour!
OUR BREWING, a craft brewery based in Fukui City, has published its October edition of “Awaブル通信,” sharing updates on recent activities, collaborations, and upcoming beers.
A juicy Hazy IPA for Keyaki Beer Festival
The brewery returned to Keyaki Beer Festival for the third time, brewing “Keyaki Hazy” specifically for the event. The Hazy IPA is described as having rich, juicy flavors reminiscent of pineapple and mandarin orange. Despite some poor weather during the five-day festival, the beer drew repeat pours and take-home can purchases from visitors.
Collaboration with TOTALFAT
OUR BREWING also collaborated with Japanese rock band TOTALFAT on “OUR CHANT,” a beer created to accompany the band’s new song of the same name. Brewed in the XPA, or Extra Pale Ale, style, it combines a crisp, highly drinkable base with expressive hop character. Strawberry, muscat grape, lemon, and grapefruit notes are complemented by moderate bitterness.
TOTALFAT vocalist Jose joined the brewing session in Fukui. “OUR CHANT” will also serve as the official beer of the Sabae JAM Festival, held October 11–12.
Beer experiences beyond the taproom
At Fukui’s ONE PARK FESTIVAL, OUR BREWING served beer alongside hot dog specialist Dogs. The brewery also held its monthly “Awarun” running event with outdoor shop The Gate. Participants ran approximately 5 kilometers through the city before finishing with a beer at the OUR BREWING taproom.
The brewery additionally took part in Hapiline Fukui’s craft beer train. Fifty participants enjoyed OUR BREWING beers aboard a train linking Fukui, Takefu, and Tsuruga while watching the evening scenery pass by.
October releases and events
Planned October releases include IRODORI (Fest Lager), Magic Flavour Ver. Brewer’s Blend (Oat Cream Hazy IPA), Piece of Cake (Hazy IPA), 滉 (Farmhouse Ale with Budo Sansho), NIGHT＆DAY (Juicy IPA), and Nana (West Coast IPA).
OUR BREWING is also scheduled to appear at events including the Hamamatsu Craft Beer Festival, Gifu Oktoberfest, Sabae JAM Festival, and Toyama’s one-day “Ruby Re Cool.” The brewery’s October activities show how its Fukui-made beers continue to meet drinkers through music, running, rail travel, and regional festivals.
