Spring Limited Draft Beers and New IPAs Line Up at CAMADO BEER BAR HAKOFUNE
This week’s update was posted by the brewpub CAMADO BEER BAR HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture. In addition to draft beers available only at the directly operated shop, the official store is moving spring limited releases and collaboration IPAs, making this a lineup worth thinking about for the weekend pint.
Hop BroA weekly notice went up at CAMADO BEER BAR HAKOFUNE, the brewpub in Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture. Since it is attached to the brewery, the draft beer is as fresh as it gets.
MugiWhoa! Drinking right next to the factory feels so special! It almost sounds like the beer is saying, “I was just born.”
Hop BroAnd it is the only craft beer bar in the Tono Mino area. The sacred-tree counter and Mino ware vessels really make the local character come through.
MugiOhhh! So it is not just about drinking, but enjoying the whole space too. It is nice that people from outside the prefecture can feel welcome.
Hop BroHours are Friday 18:00-22:00, Saturday 12:00-22:00, and Sunday 12:00-19:00. It is really smart that the opening times are so easy to work around on the weekend.
MugiWhat is that supposed to mean! You can go after work or for a daytime drink. So the star this time is definitely the spring lineup, right?
Hop BroExactly. The new arrivals are “The Dank Lovers,” “SAKURA BRUT IPA,” and “Kinka no Itadaki Strong Ale.” Especially the three new releases together are hard to miss.
MugiWait, what does IBU 201 even mean!? Is the bitterness basically coming at you as a number? Sounds scary, but I am curious!
Hop BroGood question. IBU is a measure of bitterness, and “The Dank Lovers,” true to a West Coast IPA, is all about dank aroma and strong bitterness. You can think of it as a full-throttle bitter IPA.
MugiWow, even the name sounds aromatic! And “SAKURA BRUT IPA” feels so springlike, while “Kinka no Itadaki Strong Ale” uses NFG sake yeast, so there is just way too much information!
Hop BroKinka no Itadaki has a honeyed apple-like aroma and a dry finish, which is great. From lighter beers to IPA to high-alcohol styles, there is something for everyone, so the tasting comparison is what makes HAKOFUNE fun.
MugiWow, now I really want to go this weekend! With spring limited draft beer in hand, we will want to compare all sorts of drinks too!
“CAMADO BEER BAR HAKOFUNE,” located in Kamado-cho, Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, is a brewpub attached to the Camado Brewery factory. Known as the only craft beer bar in the Tono Mino area, its use of regional materials, such as a counter made from sacred tree wood and Mino ware vessels, gives the space a distinctive feel. It also has just the right amount of openness, making it easy for visitors from outside the prefecture to mingle.
Business hours are Friday 18:00-22:00, Saturday 12:00-22:00, and Sunday 12:00-19:00. It is easy to stop by on the weekend, and its strength is being able to drink beer that is nearly fresh from the brewery right next door. Along with this week’s HAKOFUNE update, what is worth checking is Camado Brewery’s spring lineup. On the official store, new arrivals include “The Dank Lovers,” “SAKURA BRUT IPA,” and “Kinka no Itadaki Strong Ale.”
Among them, “The Dank Lovers” is a collaboration beer brewed at Kamado to commemorate CBL’s 10th anniversary. It is a West Coast IPA with 8% ABV and IBU 201, and the company describes it as having the strongest hop intensity in its history. It is built around a dank aroma and intense bitterness, making it a beer with plenty to chew on.
“SAKURA BRUT IPA” is a spring limited release worth keeping an eye on, offering a light, refreshing drink that suits the changing season. Meanwhile, “Kinka no Itadaki Strong Ale” is a strong ale made with NFG, a sake yeast original to Gifu Prefecture. It is characterized by a fruity aroma reminiscent of apple honey and a dry finish, making it the kind of beer you will want to savor slowly as a draft at HAKOFUNE or in a bottle.
The appeal of a brewpub lies in being able to compare beers with such different personalities in one place. From a light pint to aroma-forward IPA and high-alcohol strong ale, the fun of HAKOFUNE is choosing according to your mood. It is a place for anyone who wants to feel the atmosphere of Tono manufacturing and check out limited beers that fit the current season.
