Canal brewing taps Faló Brewing’s Obake and seven guest beers
Canal brewing in Oimachi has added a fresh guest-beer lineup led by Faló Brewing’s Obake (IPA). The tap list also includes a peanut-butter porter, hazy IPA, fruit wheat ale, dark mild, Kölsch, and a CAMADO Brewery Kawachi Bankan beer.
Hop BroBig topic today: eight fresh taps just landed at Canal brewing in Oimachi. Faló Brewing's 'Obake' leads a guest lineup from breweries around Japan.
MugiWhat! Eight beers on tap at a casual standing spot near the station? I'd get lost before my first sip!
Hop BroThe headliner is Obake the IPA. It's described as having bright hop aroma, a pleasant clean bitterness, and a really elegant finish.
MugiAn elegant finish? For beer? Why does that sound like it should be wearing a tuxedo?
Hop BroThat's the fun of IPA: hop aroma layering. It's not just bitter; after you swallow, citrusy and floral notes drift back in.
MugiOhh! Then Krush/Mosaic Hazy IPA from CHORYO Craft Beer must smell amazing. That name sounds like the hops scheduled a meeting.
Hop BroFair comparison. And FARMENTRY's nitro dark mild is another one I'd chase. Nitro means it's poured with nitrogen, so the bubbles get extra fine and the texture turns creamy.
MugiWait, poured with nitrogen? I came for beer, not a science lab demonstration!
Hop BroBest kind of science, though. You've also got Canal brewing's 'C', the collab Peanut Butter Po Taro, Nara Brewing's WATERMELON HEAD, CRAFT BANK's 04-KOLSCH, and CAMADO BREWERY's Kawachi Bankan.
MugiThis is bad. I can't choose between facing Obake's bitterness or going full summer with watermelon and citrus!
Hop BroThen we do a three-beer comparison: Obake first, nitro second, and the fruity pours after that. Canal brewing is great because you can enjoy both house beers and guest taps in one stop.
MugiThat plan wins. I want a pint now, and it sounds perfect whether you're hunting for a first stop in Oimachi or a full tasting session.
