Canal brewing updates its 8-tap list in Oimachi, Faló Brewing goes on tap
Canal brewing in Tokyo’s Oimachi has published its latest tap list and newly introduced Faló Brewing’s “Chonk.” The lineup spans eight drinks from IPA and hazy to stout and hard cider, making it a setup that’s easy to compare after work.
Hop BroToday, Canal brewing’s update in Tokyo’s Oimachi is hot. They’ve added Faló Brewing’s “Chonk” to the tap list, and the lineup has become seriously drinkable.
MugiWhoa! Eight on tap?! If I stopped by after work, I’d spend all my brainpower just deciding!
Hop BroAnd the new arrival, “Chonk,” is a Double IPA at 8.5%. It has a tropical character from Southern Hemisphere hops, and the sneaky part is that despite the ABV, it seems like it would go down smoothly.
MugiWhat’s double about a double IPA? That name sounds so strong it feels like it would broaden my shoulders if I drank it!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s basically heavier on hops and alcohol. The aroma and bitterness come through strongly, and Chonk adds a tropical, sweet aroma on top of that, so “punchy but not too heavy on the palate” is a pretty apt description.
MugiWow! I love that you can compare IPAs! Canal brewing C #3, Nomcraft Brewing Mystic Tiger, Faló Brewing Chonk - it’s basically a three-way battle of aromas!
Hop BroWhat makes it interesting is that they also have FLORA FERMENTATION’s pale ale and MAHOWBREW’s Munich-style Helles. Helles is a crisp German-style lager, not flashy, but the kind that lets the grain flavor show through.
MugiWhat is that! So if you finish with hard cider or stout, isn’t it like a flavor roller coaster?
Hop BroExactly. Since they even have Green Neighbors’ SOUR TOKI ver. and RIOT BEER’s nitro Belgian stout, you can travel all the way from brisk to rich in one go. Nitro means it’s poured with nitrogen, which makes the foam extra fine and silky.
MugiAnd it’s easy to get to from the station in Oimachi, and being cashless and casual makes it so nice! Stroller-friendly too, it really feels like a beer spot that is kind to the neighborhood.
Hop BroExactly. The way the local Oimachi atmosphere naturally blends into the day-to-day lineup is what makes Canal brewing feel like Canal brewing. They also have event info from April 21 onward, so this is the kind of post that makes you reach for a second drink even if you only meant to have one.
MugiYeah, reading it makes me completely in the mood to drink right now! First Chonk for the opener, then compare the IPAs, and finish with the stout!
Canal brewing is a brewery and craft beer specialty shop at 1-26-4 Oi, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. The interior is a standing-style space of about 15 seats, designed so craft beer can stand out even more. It is fully cashless and does not accept cash, and stroller use is welcome.
In this post, the new tap introduced was `Faló Brewing / Chonk (Double IPA)`. At 8.5% ABV, the post described tropical aromas from Southern Hemisphere hops and a drinking experience that doesn’t make the alcohol feel overly strong.
The “Today’s Tap List” included `Canal brewing C #3 (IPA)`, `Nomcraft Brewing Mystic Tiger (Hazy IPA)`, `Faló Brewing Chonk (Double IPA)`, `FLORA FERMENTATION Lupus -Strata- (Pale Ale)`, `MAHOWBREW Muninn (Munich-style Helles)`, `Green Neighbors Hard Cider SOUR TOKI ver. (Hard Cider)`, `THREE ARROWS BREWING Funky Monkey Mango (Fruits Pale Ale)`, and `RIOT BEER DarkLands -Nitro Ver- (Belgian Stout)`. In addition to an IPA comparison, the lineup also includes a Helles, hard cider, and even a nitro Belgian stout, making the breadth of styles especially eye-catching.
What feels quintessentially Canal brewing is the way these day-to-day selections naturally blend with the local atmosphere of Oimachi. It’s easy to walk over from the station, and the place works both for a quick single drink and for working through several styles in sequence. Event information from after April 21 was also included, making this a post that clearly shows the shop’s activity alongside its regular tap updates.
