What kind of brewery is Ohori Brewery?
Hop BroDo you know Ohori Brewery? It's a microbrewery along Ohori Park, and its founder, Makoto Ogura, is an architect.
MugiAn architect making beer!? That's so interesting!
Hop BroOgura is the president of a design firm called In.Di.Style, which handles interior design for restaurants and hotels. Through his work, he's designed the spaces of several breweries. He also helped develop brewing equipment together with Shingo Murai of Asunaro Brewery, and that led to them saying, 'Let's make our own too.'
MugiHe designed the space for brewing, and then got the urge to brew it himself!
Hop BroThat's why the space design is so impressive: three large brewing tanks are lined up with a commanding presence, visible through glass from the seating area. It's one of the largest microbreweries in the prefecture.
MugiWhat kinds of beer do they have?
Hop BroThe flagship beers are "OHORI IPA" and "OHORI SOUR." The IPA uses five kinds of hops, giving it a clean profile with a firm bitterness. The sour adds lactic acidity to tropical hop aromas, making it fruity yet crisp.
MugiAs someone who loves sour ales, I'm curious!
Hop BroWhat's more, at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2026, BATLIC PORTER won gold and WEST COAST IPA won silver, so three of their beers received awards. They also make a West Coast IPA called "PACIFIC AFTERGLOW" with an ABV of 7.0%, so their style range is pretty broad.
MugiA gold award! A brewery started by an architect winning gold in a competition is amazing.
Hop BroEven the logo is cleverly designed: the letter "O" is shaped like an aerial view of Ohori Park, with a dot marking the brewery's location inside it.
MugiSo stylish! Drinking freshly brewed beer while looking out over that huge pond sounds amazing.
