Omishima Brewery will be setting up at FC Imabari's home match on Saturday, April 25. True to a brewpub on Omishima along the Shimanami Kaido, it will offer five standard beers, including one made with citrus, giving fans a chance to enjoy the island's flavors before and after the game.
Hop BroOmishima Brewery is setting up at the FC Imabari home match on April 25. An island brewpub coming to the stadium is a pretty exciting development.
MugiWhat! You can drink island craft beer while watching soccer? That's the kind of thing that gets you hyped before the match even starts!
Hop BroAnd the regular lineup has five beers all in one place. Blonde Ale, IPA, Coffee Pale ~Munimal Cafe ver~, White Ale, and Stout, with each one clearly defined, which is great.
MugiWhat is that! I hear about IPA a lot, but does it mean it has strong hop bitterness? Like a more grown-up taste?
Hop BroExactly. In an IPA, aroma and bitterness take center stage. It tends to bring out citrusy, bright hop notes, so it has real depth.
MugiOhh! Then I might be interested in the White Ale made with Omishima citrus. If it's fruity, it should be really easy to drink even for beginners!
Hop BroThat's a good choice. As the weather gets warmer, starting with the White Ale is a pretty solid move. It's light and fits the island atmosphere too.
MugiWait, what's a Coffee Pale!? Coffee beans in beer, and it even brings out the depth of coffee beans? That's a lot of information!
Hop BroIt does. The layers of aroma are what make it interesting, and it feels like the drinkability of a pale ale is joined by a roasted character. Not too bitter, but still with a definite personality.
MugiThe Stout sounds interesting too, and being able to choose from light to fuller-bodied styles is the best! This makes it fun even just deciding what to drink before the match.
Hop BroAnd since the shop will be open every day from April 23 to May 11, you can even aim for a post-match tasting comparison. Cheering in Imabari, then taking it slow on Omishima afterward, that's a great flow.
MugiI've decided! First a drink at the stadium, then taking my time at the shop. I want to go compare the island flavors for sure; this is definitely going to be delicious!
