Fugu is the Japanese name for what is known in the US as pufferfish. In Japanese cuisine they’re considered a delicacy, but they require careful preparation – to avoid the lethal poison known as tetrodotoxin. Not surprisingly (to me, at least) there are a number of beers named after this legendary and photogenic fish, none of which are known to be poison. Here are a few:
Fugu Brewing Co.
Tox Brewing Co.
De Kromme Haring
Basqueland
Poseidon Brewing Co.
Rocky Ridge Brewing Co.
Pipeworks Brewing Co.


2026 was a year of big changes for the Robbins — most of them good (despite a few tears along the way) and lots of fishing trips. Check out Hanna’s favorite photo memories of the year gone by.
