Canal brewing is serving 8 taps including SNOW MONKEY IPA
Tokyo brewery Canal brewing in Oimachi has released its tap list as of April 10. Alongside its house-brewed IPA, the lineup features eight beers spanning a wide range of styles, from Shiga Kogen Beer’s SNOW MONKEY IPA to Ise Kadoya Beer’s Red Ale.
Hop BroCanal brewing in Oimachi has posted its current tap list, and the star is their house-brewed C #3 (IPA). What’s interesting is how the guest kegs are lined up around it.
MugiWhoa! So one place has that much range? It feels like a luxurious 8-tap setup. I’d probably get lost the second I walk in!
Hop BroAnd the highlight is Shiga Kogen Beer’s SNOW MONKEY IPA. It’s a Hazy IPA, but they’ve designed it so it doesn’t get too heavy, which is pretty slick.
MugiWhat? A Hazy IPA that isn’t heavy? How does that even work? If I hear peach-like aromas, I’m already imagining something like juice!
Hop BroIt has citrus fruitiness, a peachy nuance, and then a dry finish, so it becomes a clean-drinking Hazy. It’s cloudy, but not sticky.
MugiOhhh! And they’ve got Ise Kadoya Beer’s Imperial Red Ale plus FLORA LAGER, too? That’s a wild range!
Hop BroExactly. There’s also pale ale, Scottish ale, hard cider, and Belgian stout, so it’s a total style traffic jam. Starting light and finishing on the dark side sounds ideal.
MugiWait, so you start with lager and end with stout? That sounds like gradually sinking deeper into it. This is way too much of a tasting rabbit hole!
Hop BroThe hours are convenient too: 5 p.m. on weekdays, 2 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Popular taps go fast, so earlier is safer on weekends.
MugiAnd they’re already teasing events too? Shanti Curry, the anniversary, and a TTO? There are way too many reasons to keep coming back!
Hop BroAt this point, it’s basically: start at Canal brewing with SNOW MONKEY IPA, and before you know it, you’re ordering another one.
MugiAgreed! I want to toast in Oimachi too. Hop-nii, which one are you starting with tonight?
Canal brewing’s Tap List
Canal brewing, located in Oi, Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo, is sharing its current beer lineup on Instagram. Centered around its house-brewed `C #3 (IPA)`, the guest kegs bring together everything from standard favorites to distinctive offerings from domestic breweries.
The highlight this time is Shiga Kogen Beer’s `SNOW MONKEY IPA`. It is described as featuring citrus fruitiness, peach-like aromas, and a surprisingly dry finish, and is being recommended as a Hazy IPA that does not lean too heavily into richness. The post also says it is very popular and may sell out by the weekend.
