Omishima Brewery to Serve at Barche at Haborry in Imabari on July 11
Omishima Brewery will join the night edition of the Setouchi Minato Marche, Barche, at Haborry in Imabari on Saturday, July 11. The stall is scheduled for Area C from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with beer, bacon, and bottled takeaway available.
Hop BroImabari's waterfront is about to get a lot more fun, because the July 11 Barche will have Omishima Brewery setting up a booth.
MugiWhat? A night market with craft beer sounds perfect. Is it at Harborie's C area?
Hop BroExactly. It runs from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m., and since the June edition was canceled for bad weather, this is basically the first Barche of the season.
MugiThat already sounds dangerous for my appetite, and then I hear they're bringing beer plus a side of bacon? I'm done for.
Hop BroOmishima Brewery is a tiny brewpub run by a husband and wife on Omishima, right in the middle of the Shimanami route, and they're known for easy-drinking beers with local citrus.
MugiOhh, but when you say citrus, I start imagining juice. Does their White Ale still taste like real beer?
Hop BroIt does. It's gentle on bitterness and really aromatic. Their regular lineup also includes IPA, Stout, Blonde Ale, and Belgian Ale, and you can even notice Belgian yeast character in the aroma.
MugiWait, Belgian yeast character suddenly sounds like science class. In normal-person language, what does that mean?
Hop BroBasically, the yeast can create fruity or spicy notes, so the first sip makes you go, 'oh, nice.' And for drivers, they're even offering take-home PET bottles.
MugiOkay, that is smart. It works for people drinking on site and people taking some home, and the brewery itself is open too with last order at 7:30 p.m.?
Hop BroYep. They haven't announced the exact pours yet, but with a range from crisp Blonde Ale to rich Stout, a pint by the harbor feels like the right move.
MugiThen it's settled. I'm aiming for citrus beer in one hand and bacon in the other. Omishima Brewery just turned my evening plan into a mission.
Omishima Brewery will take part in Barche, the night version of the Setouchi Minato Marche, on Saturday, July 11, at Haborry in Imabari. According to the Instagram post, the brewery will be set up in Area C from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The June edition was canceled because of bad weather, so this will be the first Barche appearance of the season.
The stall will offer beer and bacon, and bottled takeaway will also be available for drivers. That makes the setup practical for both people who want to drink on site and those who prefer to take beer home and enjoy it later. The brewery’s home base on Omishima is also open as usual, with the post noting business hours until 7:30 p.m. last order.
Omishima Brewery is a small brewpub run by a couple on Omishima, near the center of the Shimanami Kaido route. Its beers are built around the island’s citrus character and are designed to be balanced and easy to keep drinking. The regular lineup listed on the brewery site includes five core beers:
- Blonde Ale: a clean, classic house beer, 5% ABV
- IPA: hop bitterness and aroma, 6% ABV
- Stout: a rich but easy-drinking dark beer, 6.5% ABV
- White Ale: citrus-driven and lightly bitter, 4.5% ABV
- Belgian Ale: fruity aromas from Belgian yeast, 5.5% ABV
The post does not name the exact beers poured at the event, but the brewery’s house lineup shows a range from bright, citrusy styles to darker, fuller-bodied pours. For beer fans in Imabari, it is a chance to catch Omishima’s island-made beer in a night-market setting and then, if needed, visit the brewery itself on the island another day.
