Omishima Brewery will operate as an event stall in conjunction with the Omishima Sake Fest on Saturday, April 11. It will be a day to look forward to a white ale, IPA, stout, and other pours unique to this small Shimanami Kaido craft brewery, with island citrus in the mix.
Hop BroOn April 11, Omishima Brewery will be operating as an event stall for the Omishima Sake Fest. It's a day where you can taste the island's atmosphere right in the middle of the Shimanami Kaido.
MugiWow, just the idea of event service on the island is exciting! But what kind of beer does Omishima Brewery serve?
Hop BroFirst up is the standard Blonde Ale. It's low on quirks and easy to drink, so it's a really good choice for a first glass.
MugiI see! Then even I could handle that. When I hear White Ale, it somehow sounds like it'd be pale and fluffy!
Hop BroThat's what makes it feel so Omishima-like: it's flavored with organically grown citrus. The bright aroma of the island's citrus comes through softly, and it lifts your mood before you even take a sip.
MugiWhat is that! So even though it's beer, it feels like your nose gets to travel first? That's almost unfairly delicious!
Hop BroAnd that's not the only option. There's also an IPA with a strong hop bitterness and aroma, so you can switch things up completely depending on your mood.
MugiIPA is the one people sometimes call "a bitter adult taste," right? That suddenly sounds kind of advanced!
Hop BroExactly, but you don't need to overthink it. There's also a stout with the pleasant aroma and richness of roasted malt, so if you like something heavier, you can enjoy that instead.
MugiWow, having everything from sweet aromas to bitter styles is so much fun! And the limited ones sound really tempting too!
Hop BroFor limited releases, the Cacao Black and Belgian Ale are the ones to watch. They've got everything from cacao aroma to the fruity character of Belgian yeast, so it's the kind of lineup that makes you keep tasting side by side.
MugiThat's totally comparison-tasting mode! I want to stop by the brewpub in Miyaura, Omishima-cho too, and take my time enjoying the island's beer!
On April 11, special event hours for the Omishima Sake Fest
Omishima Brewery (Miyaura, Omishima-cho, Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture) will set up shop at the "Omishima Sake Fest" on Saturday, April 11. Located in the center of the Shimanami Kaido, the small craft brewery run by a husband-and-wife team will open in step with the island event.
The brewery's beers are notable for a lineup that reflects Omishima's local character. Its standard Blonde Ale is a low-key, easy-drinking style; the White Ale is a fruit beer flavored with organically grown citrus from Omishima. In addition, there is IPA with pronounced hop bitterness and aroma, Stout with the pleasant aroma and richness of roasted malt, and Pale Ale crafted to balance with the savory character of the barley.
The limited-batch offerings also include Cacao Black, layered with cacao aroma, and Belgian Ale, which features the fruity aroma from Belgian yeast. With a lineup that moves between the brightness of citrus and the depth of malt and hop character, it's easy to choose according to your preference.
The shop is located at 5589 Miyaura, Omishima-cho, and business hours are 12:00-20:00 (last order 19:30). It is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but there may be temporary openings or closures, so it's a good idea to check before visiting. Parking is available for four cars, making it convenient not only for a drink on the island, but also as a brewpub stop along a trip on the Shimanami Kaido. On the day of the event, alongside the festival atmosphere, there should be plenty of fun in tasting the island's craft beers side by side.
