Canal brewing in Oimachi serves four Himitsu Beer cans and eight taps
Canal brewing in Tokyo’s Oimachi area announced four newly stocked cans from Himitsu Beer and an eight-beer tap list featuring house beers and collaborations. The brewery is staying open through the Obon period with a relaxed, easy-to-drop-in pace.
Hop BroToday’s story is Canal brewing in Oimachi. They’ve got four new Himitsu Beer cans, eight taps, and they’re staying open through Obon.
MugiWhat! Four cans and eight taps? That sounds like the fridge and the draft tower are throwing a summer festival!
Hop BroAnd the cans are four Himitsu Beer releases: LEMON HACK is a Lemon IPA, RICE HACK is a Rice IPA, Yasumitai-nu is an XPA, and Momotobi Penguin is a Peach Farmhouse Ale.
MugiWait, what is XPA? And Farmhouse Ale sounds like a beer brewed on a porch with a straw hat!
Hop BroXPA means Extra Pale Ale. It’s bright and easy to drink, while Farmhouse Ale tends to have expressive yeast character and a rustic feel.
MugiOhhh! So those HACK beers have a gentle rice sweetness, but still enough bitterness to stay crisp and pair well with food?
Hop BroExactly. The taps have serious range, with Canal brewing’s C, C w/pineapple, and even Oldnew Downtown, that yuzu West Coast Lager, all in the mix.
MugiBut hold on, West Coast Lager? It’s a lager, but also West Coast? And there’s a Saison too? This tap list has more clubs than a college flyer!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Big aroma, clean finish. A West Coast Lager keeps that snappy drinkability, while Saison brings dry, spicy character. Then you’ve got Daylight Moon, Midnight Sun, EMERIUM KOLSCH, and try, plus a stacked set of collabs.
MugiAnd there’s even a nitro porter version? Peanut Butter Po Taro already sounds like it could pin my pint glass with pure name power!
Hop BroNitro gives you tiny creamy bubbles because it’s poured with nitrogen, so the mouthfeel gets super smooth. Weekdays start at 17:00, Saturdays at 14:00, and they’re open until 23:00, which makes this dangerously easy to drop into.
MugiThe Shanti Curry event on August 25 and the Cycad Brewing tap takeover on September 19 both sound great, but first I want Oimachi right now and a flight from LEMON HACK to Peanut Butter Po Taro!
Canal brewing in Oimachi updated its summer lineup with both cans and taps. The brewery says it will stay open through the Obon holidays, keeping things casual and making it easy to stop in for a quick drink.
Newly stocked cans from Himitsu Beer
- LEMON HACK (Lemon IPA)
- RICE HACK (RICE IPA)
- やすみたい〜ぬ (XPA)
- モモトビペンギン (Peach Farmhouse Ale)
According to the shop, the two HACK beers are gentle styles that highlight the sweetness of rice. They still carry a firm bitterness, but the finish is crisp, making them suitable alongside food.
