Hop BroAt Onomichi Brewery, they have brewed Mashiro Coffee Porter for the first time in a while. It is hard to beat being able to wait for a freshly made beer in a brewpub renovated from a storehouse that is more than 120 years old.
MugiWhoa! A beer in an old storehouse already has such a strong vibe! And if it's still in the brewing stage, why does it already sound delicious even though you can't drink it yet?
Hop BroThe star this time is a coffee beer made with beans specially roasted by Mashiro Coffee Beans in Mukaishima, Onomichi City. The way it brings out the coffee aroma cleanly inside the beer is pretty skillful.
MugiWait, if you put coffee in beer, wouldn't it end up bitter and heavy? Just hearing "like cold-brew coffee" sounds elegant, but a dark beer makes me brace myself all of a sudden!
Hop BroThat is the interesting part: this one takes advantage of the lightness of a porter. It has roasted notes, but it keeps the heavy feel typical of dark beer in check and leans into an easy, smooth drink.
MugiI see, if it's less heavy, then even I, as a coffee lover, could go for it! It is not the kind that wakes you up like morning coffee, but the kind that comforts you at night.
Hop BroExactly. The aroma is strong, but the mouthfeel is gentle. Onomichi Brewery is also skilled at using regional ingredients, and beers like Onomichi Ale and Shimanami Golden Ale make the character of the place really visible.
MugiWhat is that, it's like drinking Onomichi! With Onomichi-grown lemons and mandarins and all that local flavor actually in the glass, my throat is about to travel before I do!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they have a lineup of distinctive beers like Cucumber Saison and Iwagojima Tomato Weizen, so you cannot let your guard down. Turning the quirks of the ingredients into something appealing is what Onomichi Brewery is all about.
MugiNow I definitely want to go drink there! If I taste a freshly made pint in that old storehouse, I feel like I could take home the air of Onomichi itself.
Hop BroRight, the best part is to drop in casually while walking around and drink it while the warmth of the brewing is still there. Today, I just want to raise a glass with a coffee-scented pint.
MugiAgreed! I want a pint right now! This is the kind of drink that makes both coffee people and beer people happy, so hurry up and let me taste it!
Onomichi Brewery is a brewpub in Kubo, Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Housed in a storehouse with a history of more than 120 years that has been renovated, it is appealing for the chance to taste beer straight from the tank. Its lineup includes regionally inspired brews such as Onomichi Ale, which brings out the character of Onomichi-grown lemons, and Shimanami Golden Ale, made with mandarins from Onomichi, letting the feel of Onomichi itself come through in the glass.
This time, the beer brewed after a long interval was Mashiro Coffee Porter. It is a coffee beer made with beans specially roasted for this brew by Mashiro Coffee Beans in Mukaishima, Onomichi City, and its defining trait is said to be an aroma that evokes cold-brew coffee.

Onomichi Brewery also offers clearly distinctive beers such as Cucumber Saison, notable for its refreshing cucumber character, and Iwagojima Tomato Weizen, which incorporates regional ingredients. In all cases, the brewery's style is to highlight the character of its ingredients while staying within a “easy to drink and makes you want another” direction. If you stop by during a stroll through Onomichi, you can enjoy craft beer with the temperature and atmosphere of a place close to the brewing process, rather than just a drink at a tourist spot.
