Canal brewing unveils 8 taps in Oimachi; MAHOWBREW limited gose restocked
Canal brewing in Tokyo's Oimachi has released its latest tap list. Centered on its own beer, "C # 3," the lineup also features collaborations with breweries from across Japan and a restock of a limited gose, along with notice of a 3rd anniversary event on May 23.
Hop BroCanal brewing's latest Oimachi tap lineup is pretty interesting, isn't it? It centers on the brewery's own C # 3 (IPA), but it also lines up collaborations and limited releases, and the tap wall inside the shop is basically a small beer museum.
MugiWait, what do you mean by a beer museum? Does that mean you can drink all kinds of styles at once, not just IPA?
Hop BroExactly. For example, RIO BREWING & CO.'s SOCIAL GRAVITY is a DDH DIPA, a rich, hop-loaded style, while CAMADO BREWERY × Grau's Kiln Ash is a West Coast IPA, the kind with sharp bite and pronounced bitterness.
MugiDDH again! When you say stacking hops, is it like adding more toppings on ramen?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. DDH means doing dry hopping twice or more, a technique that really pushes the aroma forward. So the aroma bursts more easily, and in a DIPA it also gives you more drinking heft.
MugiOhhh! And I love that there are also easy-to-drink options like open air's mikan gose and Canal brewing × Nomcraft Brewing's Momonga Bongos!
Hop BroThat's the good part: mikan gose is a fruited gose, so the citrus character and acidity are fun, and Momonga Bongos is a Hazy Pale Ale with a soft mouthfeel. On top of that, HEAVY SASORI BREWING's White Doe is an Italian Pilsner with Sanpin-cha, and there's even DAISEN G BEER's Weizenbock, so the range is broad.
MugiWait, wait, Sanpin-cha is tea, right? If you put it in beer, does it give off a tea aroma? And Weizenbock already sounds intense!
Hop BroYes, the tea aroma comes through gently, adding a Japanese nuance to the lightness of the Pilsner. And one of the highlights this time is MAHOWBREW's Ginger Gose restock: [eighthundred] Party -Ginger Gose- is an imperial gose made with Okinawan ginger, karaki, and shell ginger.
MugiWhat, a gose with ginger and shell ginger!? Just the name makes you feel warmer, and having Party -TROPICAL RUM- with rum in it is almost unfair!
Hop BroAnd with the 3rd anniversary on May 23, plus the CAMADO BREWERY Tap Take Over on June 13 and the CRAFTBANK Tap Take Over on July 11, there are way too many reasons to keep coming back. This makes me want to go tap-hunting in Oimachi right now.
