Toyama’s BEER COLONY Updates Its Taps, Including Trademark’s “Codebreaker” and Six Beers
The beer pub BEER COLONY in Ushijima Honmachi, Toyama City, revealed its latest tap list on Instagram on April 23. It is featuring six draft beers, including Barbaric WORKS’ “Nostalgia,” Yorocco’s “Natsumikan SAISON,” and Trademark’s “Codebreaker,” plus one backup candidate.
Hop BroBEER COLONY in Toyama Station North is updating its taps, and it’s pretty interesting right now. In the April 23 post, they neatly organized six draft beers plus backup candidates, and you can feel the lead-up to the 13th anniversary too.
MugiWait, six draft beers!? And they even have backup candidates? Their beer menu is starting to look like a meeting agenda!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is solid too. “Nostalgia” is from Barbaric WORKS, “Natsumikan SAISON” is from Yorocco, and “MASTERPIECE EXCEED” is from Y.MARKET, so each one has a strong personality.
MugiThat sounds delicious just from the names! But doesn’t “SAISON” suddenly make everything sound way more stylish?
Hop BroSaison is originally a crisp ale that was drunk during breaks from farm work, and when you add the aroma of summer mandarin orange, the drinking experience becomes much lighter and more refreshing. That’s why it tends to hit the spot when the weather starts getting hotter.
MugiOhhh! Then maybe “Gold Ban!” is energetic too. Just from the name, I can already hear the sound of a toast!
Hop BroThat part is interesting too. They’ve got HINO × Niigata Swan Lake’s “Gold Ban!” and Knee Deep’s “Deep Clarity” on the board. And the one to watch is Trademark’s “Codebreaker.”
Mugi“Codebreaker” sounds like a puzzle game! But when beer gets described with terms like dank character and bitterness, why does it suddenly feel like chemistry class?
Hop BroDank character is part of a West Coast IPA’s identity, with a slightly damp grassy or piney note. When that’s paired with a clearly defined bitterness, Codebreaker feels like the kind of beer that people who know will recognize right away.
MugiSo it’s a beer with a clearly defined profile! And if Petit Moral is on the backup list too, waiting for the next rotation sounds fun.
Hop BroExactly. And with cans also being replenished from Revision, WCB, and LA Ale Works, BEER COLONY really feels true to itself by not cutting corners on either taps or cans.
MugiThis totally makes me want to do a beer tasting crawl in the Station North area! Start with Codebreaker today, and finish with Natsumikan for the finale!
