Golden Brewery to Set Up at Munakata's La Jolla Market on April 20
Golden Brewery in Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, announced that it will set up at the La Jolla Market held on Sunday, April 20, at Oka Hachi Cafe in Munakata City. At the venue, 29 shops will gather, and the event is being introduced as one that can be enjoyed from 11:00 a.m. until around 4:00 p.m.
Hop BroThe hot ticket for Sunday, April 20, is GOLDEN BREWERY's booth at the La Jolla Market at Oka Hachi Cafe in Munakata City. The Fukutsu brewery is showing up amid the buzz of 29 shops, that's the story.
MugiWhat! 29 shops all in one place? That's more like a festival than a market. If I try to see everything while drinking beer, I might get happily lost!
Hop BroWhat's more, this brewery only completed its brewery in 2023. It really shows the character of GOLDEN BREWERY, grown in Fukutsu.
MugiHmm, but the article's drinkability and finish sounds a little expert-level, doesn't it? Is "finish" one of those things that suddenly turns you into a poet after you drink?
Hop BroPretty close, but not quite. "Finish" means the aroma and flavor linger softly after you drink it. It's about a design that isn't just flashy, but lets you naturally go in for another sip.
MugiI see! Then the signature beer, Creamy Rich, must fit that direction perfectly. Even the name sounds delicious, and my mouth is already in line ahead of me!
Hop BroExactly. It's a Hazy IPA, and the key is balancing a tropical aroma with drinkability. It's a balanced beer that lets the hop aroma stand out while keeping the mouthfeel soft.
MugiA Hazy IPA sounds hard to understand, but what's inside is gentle. And if it's easy to like even for first-timers, then newcomers like me can relax!
Hop BroAnd Oka Hachi Cafe is a great place to enjoy a freshly poured pint. You can take your time with food and drinks, and the fact that dogs are welcome is another plus.
MugiWait, I can bring my dog too? That alone makes me want to go! If I can drink at leisure in a quiet space, that's the perfect way to spend a day off.
Hop BroThis pop-up from Fukutsu to Munakata really feels like beer is growing within the region. I want to check out the current state of craft beer cultivated in this seaside town right there on site.
MugiYeah, this isn't something you just read and that's it! It's the kind of thing that makes you want to go chase Fukutsu's flavor over a glass in Munakata.
GOLDEN BREWERY, located in Nishifukuma, Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is announcing that it will set up at the "La Jolla Market" to be held on Sunday, April 20, at Oka Hachi Cafe in Munakata City. The venue will bring together 29 shops, including this one, and the event is being introduced as something visitors can enjoy from 11:00 a.m. until around 4:00 p.m.
GOLDEN BREWERY completed construction of its brewery in 2023 and began making craft beer in Fukutsu. On its official website, the brewery says it values beer-making that focuses not only on flashiness, but on drinkability and a pleasant finish. At the attached "GOLDEN BREWERY CAFE," guests can enjoy freshly brewed beer and food in a quiet space, and dogs are also welcome.
Among the brewery's representative labels is the Hazy IPA "Creamy Rich," which won a silver award at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2025. It has been praised for balancing a tropical aroma with easy drinkability, and has been presented as a beer that even first-time craft beer drinkers can enjoy.
This La Jolla Market appearance is also worth noting as a move that expands the brewery's activity from Fukutsu, where it is based, to Munakata. What kind of encounters will it create in a local-event setting, different from having a drink at the brewery itself? It is an announcement that lets us take another look at the current position of craft beer nurtured in the seaside town of Fukutsu.
