Canal brewing in Oimachi shares an eight-beer tap list, with Shanti Curry on Aug. 25
Canal brewing in Tokyo’s Oimachi area has posted its latest tap list. The lineup spans house beer, collaborations, and seasonally fitting styles, and the venue also plans its recurring Shanti Curry service on August 25.
Hop BroOimachi has a real lure today: Canal brewing just posted its latest taps, with its house-brewed C leading an eight-beer lineup.
MugiWhat, eight full taps and they all go in different directions? I thought it would be IPA from wall to wall!
Hop BroThe house C is an IPA, the collab try is a Scottish Ale, and then you get Pony Boy as a Hazy IPA plus Kamadaki Monogatari as a West Coast IPA, so the range is huge.
MugiHold on, Scottish Ale? What is that? Why does this suddenly feel like geography class?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it pushes malt toastiness more than hop bitterness. So you get a bread-like richness that's great for sipping.
MugiOh wow! Then Nara Brewing's EIGHTY EIGHT and Shizuoka Brewing's yuzu pils sound like the Japanese ingredient duo I need.
Hop BroExactly. EIGHTY EIGHT is a saison with green tea, and yuzu pils is a German pilsner with yuzu zest, so green tea and yuzu actually show up clearly in the aroma.
MugiAnd Nomcraft's porter even has a Nitro Ver.? That name alone sounds extra fluffy!
Hop BroNitro means it's poured with nitrogen for tighter foam. That gives the porter a creamy mouthfeel, so it drinks surprisingly smoothly for a dark beer.
MugiWhoa, and Egret Brewery brought its fourth-anniversary beer too? This is an all-night tasting trap!
Hop BroAnd that one, Anniversary Four, is an English Pale Ale with a toasty side but a clean finish. Add the regular Shanti curry on the 25th and it's basically unfair.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold! Now I want to sit in Oimachi, debate the next pint, and take it slow with curry and beer.
Canal brewing, the brewery in Oimachi, has shared its current tap list. The board is led by the house IPA "C" and a collaboration beer, "try," then moves through hop-forward, citrusy, roasty, and tea- or yuzu-accented styles. It is the kind of lineup that invites side-by-side tasting.
On tap now

Egret Brewery’s "Anniversary Four" is presented as a 4th-anniversary English pale ale, with a toasty malt character and a clean finish. The range is broad enough to cover bright IPA drinking, more nuanced lager-like refreshment, and something deeper and roastier in one visit.
The post also notes Shanti Curry on August 25, a recurring food event that makes Canal brewing a place where beer and a meal naturally go together. For beer drinkers in Tokyo, it is a useful snapshot of what is pouring now and a reminder that the venue remains active with both house beer and collaboration-driven releases.
