Beer Island Omotecho posts a Kumamoto-support tap list and adds BATTEN Brewing
Beer Island Omotecho, a craft beer pub in Okayama’s Omotecho shopping street, announced a Kumamoto-support post on August 28 and said it had received craft beer from BATTEN Brewing. The draft lineup also spans Kurashiki, Miroku, Sankt Gallen, Nomcraft, and more.
Hop BroI want to talk about Bakushujima-omotecho in Okayama today. Their August 28 update is full-on draft support for Kumamoto, with Batten Brewing arriving and service running from 3:00 p.m. to midnight.
MugiWait, this is happening right in the Omotecho shopping street? A support-beer arrival has way more story than a normal new-release post!
Hop BroBakushujima-omotecho is an Omotecho beer pub on the first floor of Hibari Terras, and it is close enough to Tenmaya that you can swing by after shopping or work.
MugiNice! And I love the Kumamoto support angle. So what kind of beer is Batten Brewing bringing in?
Hop BroThe shop message is the best part. They basically say the most honest thing a craft beer bar can do is buy, drink, and support Kumamoto, without taking everyday life for granted.
MugiI am ready to toast already, but then I saw Kurashiki Hazy IPA and Tamano West Coast IPA, and now what even is Hazy IPA? A spell? A special move?
Hop BroIt sounds like an attack name, but it is beer. Hazy is cloudy and juicy, West Coast is clear with sharper bitterness, so it is the same IPA, different personalities.
MugiThat is amazing. But now Whey Sour Ale Strawberry caught me. What is whey? Did the protein aisle crash the tap list?
Hop BroWhey is milk serum, so that beer brings a soft tang from whey along with strawberry character. And the list keeps going with Mamugi, Chillda Beer, Mylo, Octopus King, and Daydream.
MugiFrom two local Okayama taps to Kagawa, Kanagawa, Tokyo, Wakayama, America, plus black lager and even alcohol-free, the range is ridiculous! That is a world tour in one stop.
Hop BroExactly. It covers local picks and familiar classics in one shot. First pint is settled: Batten Brewing for the toast, then a side-by-side of Kurashiki Hazy IPA and Tamano West Coast IPA.
Beer Island Omotecho, on the 1st floor of Hibari Terasu at 2-7-15 Omotecho, Kita-ku, Okayama, is a craft beer pub tucked into a covered shopping street. In its August 28 post, the shop said Friday hours run until 24:00 and noted that it had brought in craft beer from BATTEN Brewing as part of its support for Kumamoto.
The message was simple: buy and drink Kumamoto beer to show support. The shop also framed the gesture as a reminder not to take everyday life for granted, and to support what it can, within its means. With Tenmaya Main Store only a short walk away, it is an easy stop after shopping or after work.
