Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand posts July 3 tap list with Okinawan pineapple gose
The Komagome brewpub shared its Friday, July 3 hours and a 10-beer tap list. House beers span Belgo, pale ale, IPA, pilsner, bitter, hazy IPA and stout, with a new Okinawan pineapple gose on the board.
Hop BroToday's headline is Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand: on July 3 they have 10 house-brewed taps, so Komagome is basically turning into a mini beer festival.
MugiWait, 10 house taps? That's not a tap list, that's a happiness leak!
Hop BroAnd the new one is Okinawa Pineapple Gose, brewed with Okinawan peach pineapple, local salt, and coriander, which is basically summer poured into a glass.
MugiWhat even is a gose style? It sounds like a wrestling move, not a beer!
Hop BroSimple version: it's a tart salty beer. The bright acidity wakes you up, and the salt helps push the fruit flavor forward.
MugiOhhh, so peach pineapple character plus that salty snap could taste like a beach snack stand turned into a pint!
Hop BroAnd the rest is stacked too: Seiten Raimei #2 is a West Coast IPA, Ryusui Soso #2 is an Italian Pilsner, and Kurotobi #4 is a Belgian Stout.
MugiItalian Pilsner sounds fancy. So with that dry-hop thing, how is it different from a regular pilsner?
Hop BroThink of it as a lager with extra aroma. It keeps the crisp finish, then adds floral and herbal hop notes that make side-by-side tasting way too fun.
MugiPlus Belgo, Hazy IPA, and Best Bitter? That's a tasting-flight paradise. I'd grab some snacks and start wandering all over the menu.
Hop BroExactly. A stop for a quick Komagome pint turns into three pints fast, and I'd start with the new gose before my throat files a complaint.
MugiSame here, this is a drop-everything beer plan. IPA for a punch or gose for a cool-down, either way I want to be on that train already!

The new release is Okinawa Pineapple Gose, brewed for the Otsuka Haisai Carnival that the team has been involved with since last year. According to the post, it uses Okinawan peach pineapple, Okinawan salt and coriander, and is meant to finish dry rather than sweet. For drinkers who like bright acidity and fruit-driven sour beers, it stands out immediately.
The board covers a wide range of styles: Belgian ale, pale ale, West Coast IPA, Italian pilsner, American IPA, hazy IPA and stout. That makes the lineup useful not just for one type of drinker, but for anyone who wants to compare bitterness, fruit character and malt depth across different beers.
The post also previews upcoming pop-ups, including ume-dashi chilled oden on July 4, a music-and-beer session on July 5, and a hot dog pop-up on July 11. In other words, this is a Komagome taproom where the beer list changes often, the food stays casual, and weekend visits can easily turn into a longer hangout.
