Omishima Brewery to Host Tap Takeover at HARU BEER in Hiroshima on July 5
Omishima Brewery will hold a tap takeover at HARU BEER in Hiroshima’s Naka Ward on Sunday, July 5, from 12:00 to 20:30 last order. The brewery is a small brewpub on Omishima, known for citrus-driven beers and balanced house styles.
Hop BroI want to talk about the July 5 tap takeover today. Omishima Brewery is coming to HARU BEER in Hiroshima, and you can drink there from 12:00 to last order at 20:30.
MugiWhat! Omishima Brewery is coming to Hiroshima? Just hearing "island brewery on the Shimanami Kaido" already feels like a mini trip!
Hop BroExactly, and their signature is Omishima-grown citrus in the beer. It's a small brewery run by a married couple, but the brewing feels honest and straight-ahead in a good way.
MugiWhoa! But tap takeover sounds kind of intense, like the bar is being seized by force or something!
Hop BroThe name sounds dramatic, but it's totally friendly. It just means multiple draft taps from one brewery line up together, so you can compare them side by side.
MugiThat actually sounds great! So what are the five core styles like? I turn into a total beginner the second I read a beer list.
Hop BroBlonde Ale is easygoing, IPA brings aroma and bitterness, Stout is dark with body, White Ale is gentle with citrus, and Belgian Ale gives you yeast-driven esters floating out of the glass.
MugiWait, what? Is ester some dessert? Because if it is, I can probably order two right now!
Hop BroNot food at all. It's a fruity aroma compound from the yeast, the kind of thing that can smell a bit like banana or spice.
MugiOhh, got it! At HARU BEER, you could probably taste island character and classics at the same time. I'd show up at noon and somehow still be cheering before last order.
Hop BroExactly, and in a city beer bar you can really see the range of the brewery more clearly. Talking about it is already making me want a full tasting flight in Hiroshima.
MugiSame here! I want to start with the citrusy White Ale and work my way to the IPA. July 5 at HARU BEER is officially on my throat's calendar now!
Tap takeover on July 5
Omishima Brewery will host a tap takeover at HARU BEER, on the first floor of the Nakahara Building at 12-8 Enko-cho, Naka Ward, Hiroshima. The event runs from 12:00 to 20:30 last order, and is being presented as a day to enjoy the brewery’s beers in Hiroshima.
Omishima Brewery is a small craft brewery run by a couple on Omishima, an island in the middle of the Shimanami Kaido route. On its official site, the brewery highlights fruit-forward beers made with local citrus from Omishima, alongside beers designed to be balanced and easy to keep drinking. The house style feels grounded and straightforward, with a clear sense of place.
The brewery’s regular lineup on its official site includes:
- Blonde Ale: a clean, standard beer with little sharpness
- IPA: a hop-forward beer with firm bitterness and aroma
- Stout: a dark beer that is rich yet easy to drink
- White Ale: citrus-based and restrained in bitterness
- Belgian Ale: fruity aromatics from Belgian yeast
In a neighborhood beer bar like HARU BEER, tasting these core styles side by side should make the brewery’s range easy to understand. The event looks like a good chance to experience Omishima Brewery’s island character in Hiroshima.
