BEER COLONY in Toyama City updated its tap list on April 25, introducing six draft beers led by Y.MARKET's "MASTERPIECE EXCEED." The post also mentioned its 13th anniversary on May 5 and shared information about new canned beer arrivals.
Hop BroBEER COLONY in Toyama City just got a six-tap update. They even added Y.MARKET's "MASTERPIECE EXCEED," so today's lineup is pretty exciting.
MugiWhoa, MASTERPIECE EXCEED sounds intense! It has major final-boss energy, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Y.MARKET hazy IPA built around Citra and Mosaic. It layers citrus with berry-like notes, so it's softly sweet and juicy, but the best part is that it doesn't feel too heavy.
MugiCitra and Mosaic? What kind of spell is that? Once you say that, it suddenly sounds like a brewer's meeting and I have no idea what's going on!
Hop BroPut simply, they're hop variety names. Citra tends to bring out citrus character, while Mosaic is good at adding fruitiness and complexity. Together, they make the aroma vivid without making it hard to keep drinking.
MugiI see, so it's flashy but light on its feet! That sounds great for a first beer, or for when you're thinking about going for another one!
Hop BroAnd this time, they've got a wide-ranging six-pack of taps, including Barbaric WORKS' "Nostalgia" and Yorocco's "Natsumikan SAISON." There's a saison too, and some beers leaning toward West Coast IPA, so it's a lineup that's fun to compare.
MugiWhat is that, a theme park of flavors?! I have this image of saison being crisp and IPA being punchy, but when they line up together, it's going to be hard to choose.
Hop BroThe post also mentions that May 5 marks the 13th anniversary. They're moving both taps and cans as they head into this milestone, and the fact that they even posted canned beer arrivals from Revision, West Coast Brewing, and Grimm is very BEER COLONY.
MugiWait, their cans are strong too?! Being able to take home something you liked after drinking it there is really nice!
Hop BroIt's within walking distance from the north exit of Toyama Station, and they also do daytime drinking on weekends, so it's the kind of place you can drop into casually. One drink on tap today, a can on the way home, and you're basically set.
MugiThen I want to start with a drink from noon too! At BEER COLONY before the 13th anniversary, let's kick things off by tasting MASTERPIECE EXCEED first!
In BEER COLONY's April 25 post from Ushijimahonmachi, Toyama City, the tap list was updated. As a beer pub within walking distance of Toyama Station's north exit, it offers a lineup centered on six domestic and imported draft beers, with a setup that invites guests to compare different pours each day.
The post begins by mentioning the venue's 13th anniversary on May 5. That day's lineup consists of six beers: Barbaric WORKS "Nostalgia," Yorocco "Natsumikan SAISON," Y.MARKET "MASTERPIECE EXCEED," HINO x Niigata Swan Lake "Gold Ban!," Trademark "Codebreaker," and Knee Deep "Deep Clarity." Another option, Due Du Ciel! "Petit Moral," was also introduced as a next candidate, creating a varied selection ranging from hazy IPA to West Coast IPA, saison, and golden ale.
In particular, Y.MARKET's "MASTERPIECE EXCEED" is a hazy IPA built around Citra and Mosaic. It is described as layering citrus character with berry-like nuances, offering a softly sweet and juicy profile without becoming overly heavy. It is the kind of beer that will appeal to anyone looking for something flashy but easy to keep drinking.
The post also announced new canned beer arrivals. The selection spans domestic and imported cans from Revision, West Coast Brewing, LA Ale Works, North Island Beer, Faction, KCBC, Grimm, Mountain Culture, One Drop, Topa Topa, Karl Strauss, Tokyo Aleworks, cycad, Talea, and more. With a pint on tap or a can to take home, the range of drinking options is very much in BEER COLONY's style.
The shop has a relaxed atmosphere, and on weekends it is also open for daytime drinking. For anyone tracking craft beer in the Toyama Station north area, this is the kind of place worth returning to while watching both the changing taps and the restocking cans.
