A microbrewery project that starts at homebrewing level
Early 2020, Brussels. Nico & Sam chain the brewing sessions. They even finished 3rd in the Brussels Beer Project competition in which they had to reproduce their flagship beer, the Delta IPA.
They have one goal: to finalize their very first homemade recipe that will please their friends. They succeed and it makes them want to go further. Why not go as far as creating their own microbrewery?
But this project must have a name.
They then remember the tastings of their first beverages. In particular the time when they had drunk a little too much in front of a documentary on this strange fish, the fugu. The journalist explained that it must be prepared with great care and that in Japan, cooking it is an art. The link with beer was found!
Fugu Brewing was born and this first explosively hopped New England IPA had a name, Fugushima.
