Canal brewing in Oimachi adds three MAHOWBREW cans, previews TTO
Canal brewing in Oimachi, Tokyo, has added three canned beers from Okinawa's MAHOWBREW: Hammer Krushed Brain, Solstice Echoes on, and Gere. The post also previews a MAHOWBREW Tap Take Over on November 28.
Hop BroI want to start with three MAHOWBREW cans at Canal brewing, because the Oimachi spot just got them in and even teased a November 28 Tap Take Over.
MugiWait, beer from Okinawa landed in Oimachi? And I can try the cans before the event? That feels dangerously convenient!
Hop BroExactly. Canal brewing is a brewery and bottle shop, so it is the kind of place where you can drop in, browse cans and taps, and make a very good bad decision.
MugiOkay, give me the full lineup. One of those names already sounds like it can bench-press me.
Hop BroYou have a three-style spread: Hammer Krushed Brain is a 10.0% Triple IPA, Solstice Echoes on is a 7.5% West Coast IPA, and Gere is a 5.0% Italian Pilsner.
MugiHold on, what does dank character even mean here? It sounds like the beer lives in a basement with a leather couch.
Hop BroIn beer talk, hop-driven aroma like resin, green notes, and that deep pungent edge can get called dank. In Hammer Krushed Brain, that sits next to orange aroma and a mango-like tropical side.
MugiOhhh, so it is orange and mango on top of all that power, not just a bitter punch to the face. That is way more tempting.
Hop BroRight, and the contrast is the fun part. West Coast IPA means Solstice Echoes on should give you crisp, defined hop edges, while Gere keeps things lighter and easier to keep drinking.
MugiItalian Pilsner still sounds like pasta in a glass to me. Is it crushable, or is it secretly here to judge me?
Hop BroThink of it as a light but aromatic pilsner. If you want less weight, Gere makes sense, and then you can decide whether to preview the cans first or go all-in at the MAHOWBREW TTO on November 28.
MugiThat range is dangerous in the best way. From Triple IPA to pilsner means I can start responsible and end extremely enthusiastic.
Hop BroThat is the move. Oimachi beer mission: warm up with Gere, chase the hops with Solstice Echoes on, then stare down Hammer Krushed Brain and call it research.
Canal brewing is a brewery and craft beer spot at 1-26-4 Oi, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, within walking distance of Oimachi Station. The venue is set up for easy drop-ins, with both cans and draft beer available.
In the latest post, Canal brewing announced a canned-beer arrival from Okinawa's MAHOWBREW. The three beers on the list cover a wide range of styles:
- Hammer Krushed Brain (Triple IPA / 10.0%)
- Solstice Echoes on (West Coast IPA / 7.5%)
- Gere (Italian Pilsner / 5.0%)
Hammer Krushed Brain stands out as the most intense option. The post describes it as a Triple IPA with a solid dank character, orange aroma, and tropical mango-like notes. It is the obvious pick for drinkers who want a fuller, more assertive IPA.
Solstice Echoes on shifts toward a crisp West Coast profile, while Gere offers a lighter 5.0% Italian Pilsner for a more relaxed pace. Together, the three beers create a neat lineup that moves from bold hops to a cleaner, easier-drinking finish.
Canal brewing also says it will host a MAHOWBREW Tap Take Over on November 28. Whether you start with the cans or wait for the TTO, this looks like a good chance to follow MAHOWBREW's range through one Tokyo stop.
