Fukuoka Craft Brewing Releases Cherry-Scented Low-ABV New Beer, "Cherry Sour Ale"
Fukuoka Craft Brewing (Fukuoka) is selling its new product, "Cherry Sour Ale," through its official online store. Priced at 784 yen (tax included), this sour ale is brewed to have a light, easy-drinking profile with lactic-acid-derived tartness and the sweet-tart flavor of cherries, at 4.0% alcohol by volume.
Hop BroToday's new-release news is Fukuoka Craft Brewing's "Cherry Sour Ale"! It's a low-ABV sour ale from a brewery based in Fukuoka.
MugiWhat! A cherry beer!? That sounds absolutely cute and delicious!
Hop BroRight? The style is sour ale / happoshu (sparkling beer, 50%+ malt content), it's 4.0% ABV, and it's light and easy to drink. The price is 784 yen including tax, and you can buy it in the online store.
MugiThe moment I hear "happoshu," it suddenly feels like class! And when you say "sour," do you mean like a lemon sour?
Hop BroGood question. Here, "sour" means a gentle tartness created through lactic fermentation. It's not the kind of sour used to mix drinks, but a style that gives the beer itself a sweet-tart finish.
MugiOh, I get it! So with the cherry's sweet-tart flavor and the lactic acid tartness, it should be easy to drink, almost like juice!
Hop BroExactly. The description also calls it the brewery's "first sour brew in a while," and the vivid red beer color and rich cherry character are the selling points. It's the kind of drink that gets you excited just by looking at it!
MugiA bright red beer is basically made for social media! The second you hold the glass, it feels like the star of the show!
Hop BroWhat's more, Fukuoka Craft Brewing started in Daimyo, Fukuoka in July 2017, and began brewing in Okagaki Town in October 2022. With groundwater and carefully chosen hops and malt, they're taking on "new styles."
MugiThe backstory is hot too... Hop bro, I can't wait anymore! Let's toast with "Cherry Sour Ale" tonight!
Hop BroIt's a deal. At 4.0% ABV, it's perfect for the first glass. Let's go taste that sweet-tart cherry flavor for ourselves!

Official information says brewing in Okagaki Town began in October 2022.
