OUR BREWING unveils Starmine, a fireworks-inspired Hazy IPA
OUR BREWING, based in Fukui City, has introduced Starmine, a new Hazy IPA built around tropical aromas and a silky mouthfeel. The beer blends peach, coconut, orange, and mango notes with oat malt and includes Fukui-grown six-row barley malt.
Hop BroThis feels like summer kickoff, OUR BREWING's new drop called "Starmine." It's a Hazy IPA from Fukui City, and the fireworks motif already makes it hard to ignore.
MugiWait, a fireworks IPA!? Even the name Starmine sounds like it'll explode the second you crack the can!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's built around waves of aroma, with peach, mango, orange, and even a coconut-like note popping up one after another.
MugiWhoa, tropical fruit festival! But what actually makes a Hazy IPA hazy?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a cloudy juicy IPA. Oat malt gives it a silky texture, so it drinks softer and feels less sharply bitter.
MugiSilky? In beer? Oat malt texture sounds like you're describing pajamas!
Hop BroIt rounds the edges off. And this one gets extra interesting because it's lighter on dry hopping, while still using hops firmly on the hot side.
MugiHold on, what is hot side!? That suddenly sounds like brewery lab homework!
Hop BroIt means the warmer brewing stages, like during the boil, where you build the base of aroma and flavor. With Talus CRYO and Citra CRYO in there, it's a smooth aroma build instead of a harsh blast.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! And with Fukui-grown six-row barley malt, it has local character too. At 6.5%, I'd absolutely want this while watching fireworks.
Hop BroExactly. OUR BREWING isn't just chasing flash; the regional ingredient gives it identity. At IBU 37.1, it's balanced for summer more than aggressively bitter.
MugiThen it's settled, I want a pour now! Fireworks before or after, opening a Starmine would launch my mood first!
Fukui City brewery OUR BREWING has unveiled its new beer, Starmine. Brewed as a Hazy IPA, the release is designed to deliver tropical aromatics reminiscent of peach, coconut, orange, and mango, alongside a smooth, silky texture created with hop oil and oat malt.
The label takes its cue from summer fireworks. The name "Starmine" refers to a rapid-fire style of firework display, and the brewery ties that image to a beer whose aroma is meant to unfold in layers. According to the brewery, the recipe keeps dry hopping relatively restrained while placing more emphasis on hop use on the hot side of the brew.
