CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI taps Gangi Brewing's OBLAB and CURAFT's Kadode no Garnet
In a post published on a day of heavy rain damage across Chiba, CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI said it remained open as usual and introduced two new beers: OBLAB from Gangi Brewing and Kadode no Garnet from CURAFT. The Funabashi beer pub now pours a citrusy West Coast Pale Ale and a university-born freestyle light ale.
Hop BroI’ve got my eye on CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI today. They just tapped Gangi Brewing’s “OBLAB” and CURAFT’s “Kadode no Garnet.”
MugiWhat! Two fresh taps at once is already exciting, and those names are making me even more curious!
Hop BroFirst up, OBLAB is a West Coast Pale Ale from Gangi Brewing, with bright citrus aroma and a dry, clean finish.
MugiHold on, dry and clean sounds like beer jargon. What does that actually mean? Is this beer doing my laundry too?
Hop BroNothing that intense. It means the sweetness drops away fast, so the finish feels light and the citrusy hop character stays crisp.
MugiOooh! Then what about Kadode no Garnet? A Chiba University beer already sounds way more advanced than any school festival drink.
Hop BroThat one from CURAFT is a freestyle light ale, blending fruit ale and NEIPA ideas, so it stays easygoing but still smells really expressive.
MugiNEIPA!? That alphabet energy is overwhelming! Do beginners need to pass a quiz before ordering it?
Hop BroNo quiz required. Think of NEIPA as soft juicy character, and Kadode no Garnet sounds like a lighter, more approachable take on that vibe.
MugiAnd even on a day with heavy rain damage around Chiba, they kept regular hours and welcomed people with new taps. That feels weirdly comforting.
Hop BroThat’s very them. CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI is also strong on food pairing choices, so I’d want to compare both beers with pizza or small plates.
MugiThat settles it! Whether we start with a crisp citrus pour or the lighter, fragrant Garnet, I’m ready to head for Funabashi right now!
Located on the second floor in Honcho, Funabashi, CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI is a beer pub built around craft beer. Guests can watch pours from the counter seats, and the bar also offers weekly rotating taps and tasting sets for those who want to compare styles side by side.\n\nIn the post, the shop noted the heavy rain damage seen across Chiba, then confirmed that it had avoided damage and was operating normally. Against that backdrop, it announced two new beers on tap. The first is OBLAB from Gangi Brewing, a West Coast Pale Ale described as having bright citrus aroma, with a dry and clean finish. It sounds like a beer that shows hop character clearly without becoming heavy.\n\nThe second is Kadode no Garnet from CURAFT. Brewed as part of a beer project launched at Chiba University, it is presented as a freestyle light ale that blends elements of fruit ale and NEIPA. The post also mentions a discount for Chiba University students and alumni, which adds a nice local tie-in.\n\nWith pizzas, appetizers, and pairing-minded course options on the food side, the bar is set up for beers that can be enjoyed with a meal rather than in isolation. Even after a difficult weather day, it is the kind of place where a fresh tap can still reset the mood.\n\nOn tap\n- OBLAB / Gangi Brewing\n- Kadode no Garnet / CURAFT
