Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, has unveiled the fall-limited beer 'Dr. Oktoberfest' in collaboration with NOMCRAFT. With a drinkability typical of a festbier, it makes a strong impression on the brewery's tap lineup.
Positioning as a Collaboration Beer
Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is a brewery and beer restaurant that centers on German-style craft beer. On its official website, it highlights not only a setting where guests can enjoy beer and food pairings, but also regular beer club events, giving it a strong identity as a place not just to drink beer, but to learn about it as well.
One of the beers on its tap list is 'Dr. Oktoberfest', labeled NOMCRAFT Collaboration. According to the official website, it is a festbier with ABV 6.5%, IBU 28, and SRM 7, and Untappd also describes it as an autumn-limited collaboration with NOMCRAFT. Public information shows that it has already been discontinued, but it remains one of the collaborations that is essential to understanding the Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing lineup.
A Beer That Feels Like Tsukuba's Brewery
Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing presents itself as a brewery making handmade beer by a German brewer, and emphasizes a brewing approach based on the German Beer Purity Law. Against that backdrop, 'Dr. Oktoberfest,' created in cooperation with NOMCRAFT, is a beer that brings together the brewery's German context and the connections within Japan's craft beer scene.
On the current official website, other beers such as 'Dr. Pilsner,' 'Dr. Weizen,' 'Dr. Kölsch,' 'Dr. Export,' and 'Dr. Winter Warmth' are on tap, each highlighting its own seasonal character. With a collaboration label added to the lineup, Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing's beer expression becomes even more three-dimensional.
Twin Peaks Mountain Brewing, which bases itself in Tsukuba on German-style craft beer while also embracing collaboration with other breweries, can be summed up neatly by 'Dr. Oktoberfest.'
