CRAFT BANK of Fukuchiyama, Kyoto has announced 04-KOLSCH [350ml / 1 bottle], a commemorative beer for its 4th anniversary. The product is listed at 700 yen, with a KÖLSCH Style profile and 5% ABV. It is offered as a single 350ml bottle.

According to the brewery’s description, the beer was brewed for its anniversary event and built around the slogan "Tank emptying marathon until 1000L is gone." The idea was to create a beer that people could keep drinking without fatigue: gentle malt sweetness, a toasty aroma, and a crisp finish.

The flavor direction is clearly defined. The brewery says it is not overly flashy or overly bitter, and that the texture is smooth and easy to keep reaching for. Rather than pushing lightness alone, the beer aims for a balance between moderate body and a clean, dry finish, which is typical of a well-made Kölsch.

The ingredient list is malted barley (processed outside Japan), hops, and carrageenan. With its 350ml format and restrained but expressive profile, 04-KOLSCH fits both the feel of a milestone release and the everyday appeal of an easy-drinking beer. For fans of crisp, food-friendly styles, it is a notable addition from a brewery that continues to build its identity in Kyoto’s craft beer scene.
