The beer pub BEER COLONY in Ushijima Honmachi, Toyama City, published its latest tap list on March 13. The highlight is the newly tapped "Hamaru IPA" from U.S. brewery Faction. The bar is serving six draft beers from Japan and abroad, while also announcing new canned beer arrivals. The post also includes notice of an in-house event scheduled for March 21.
Hop BroThere’s buzz coming out of BEER COLONY in Toyama: Faction’s "Hamaru IPA" has been tapped, and the six-tap lineup has been refreshed all at once!
MugiWhoa! A new tap update alone is exciting, and the name "Hamaru IPA" is already intriguing!
Hop BroThis time’s centerpiece is a clear West Coast IPA design, with a strong citrus aroma and a nicely restrained bitterness.
MugiWhat is that? "NZ101" and "NZ105" sound like code names, but are those hop names?
Hop BroExactly. They build the aroma with three hops, including Ekuanot, giving it a grapefruit-like impression.
MugiNice! But with six beers, that means you can choose something other than IPA too, right? Seems beginner-friendly!
Hop BroThat’s the best part: Kölsch, Lemon Sour, Hazy IPA, Pale Ale, and even the heavy presence of OLD RASPUTIN all coexist.
MugiFrom light to rich, you can choose based on the time of day! It’s like a different bar by day and by night!
Hop BroPlus there are new canned beer arrivals, so taking some home is easy, and they’ve also posted the March 21 "Spring Nansé JPOP" event notice, so the weekend is looking busy.
MugiIt’s settled! I’ll start with Hamaru IPA and finish with something rich at the end. I want to go tonight right now!
BEER COLONY in Ushijima Honmachi, Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, has released its latest tap list. The star this time is "Hamaru IPA," newly tapped from California-based Faction in the U.S. The post describes it as a clear, West Coast IPA-style beer, with a strong citrus aroma, moderate bitterness, and the hops used: NZ101 / NZ105 / Ekuanot.
The current six taps are:
- Twin Peaks Mountain "Professor’s Kölsch" (Kolsch)
- Yellow Beer Works "Lemon Sour-san" (Lemon Sour)
- VERTERE × Isekado "Frustum" (Hazy IPA)
- Oni Densetsu "Kin-Oni Pale Ale Comet Single" (Pale Ale)
- Faction "Hamaru IPA" (West Coast IPA)
- North Coast "OLD RASPUTIN" (Russian Imperial Stout)
From a light Kölsch to a tart Lemon Sour to a rich Russian Imperial Stout, the lineup makes it easy to choose based on temperature or time of day. True to a beer pub, it offers enough variety to switch up your first drink of the day, and it’s a lineup that will appeal not only to IPA fans but also to anyone who wants to compare different styles side by side.
In addition, the in-store announcement has also been updated with new canned beer arrivals. BEER COLONY is convenient not just for drinking on-site, but also for taking craft beer home. The post also mentions the event notice for Saturday, March 21, "Spring Nansé JPOP," so the weekend is likely to get even livelier.
