What kind of brewery is Chikugo Ma's Craft?

Have you heard of "Chikugo Ma's Craft" in Chikugo City, Fukuoka? It's a small brewery in the Hainotsuka area.

Ma's Craft? I wonder what "Ma's" means. That's an interesting name.

It is interesting. And their "Yuzu Saison" is made in a really distinctive way. They use plenty of yuzu, but deliberately keep the aroma restrained.

What? Yuzu, but with a subdued aroma? Usually you'd expect the aroma to be front and center.

Hop Bro

That's what makes it bold. Instead of pushing the yuzu aroma too hard, they bring the whole beer together with the refreshing character of coriander. The spicy brightness of the saison and the acidity of the yuzu work together so well that it ends up with a very natural drinkability.

Balancing it by subtraction takes real taste, in a way...!

What's more, they also offer mini-keg rentals and growler fill-ups. That means you can take freshly brewed beer from the brewery to cherry blossom viewing parties or home gatherings.

You can drink freshly made craft beer outdoors!? That's amazing!

They also support mail order, so you can enjoy it even if you can't make it out to Chikugo. Breweries like this, which pursue a unique local flavor, are really worth following.

I'm definitely ordering the Yuzu Saison! I'm curious what other beers they have too, so this is one to watch!
