Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE announces this week's six taps ahead of Kamata TTO
The brewpub Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture, released this week's tap list on May 20. A tap takeover is also scheduled for May 23 at BAR FUKURO in Kamata, Tokyo, where the lineup will range from West Coast IPA and faux lager to cider.
Hop BroToday, it's about how Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture, updated this week's taps. And on May 23 they're even doing a tap takeover at BAR FUKURO in Kamata, so things are pretty fired up.
MugiWhoa! A tap takeover sounds like a huge deal. The name alone makes it sound like they're hijacking the whole bar, and now I'm nervous!
Hop BroExactly. In other words, it's the brewery filling the bar's taps with its own beer. This time the lineup is six taps for the week, and what makes it interesting is the wide range, from Kiln Ash to sahti.
MugiWhat! A West Coast IPA already sounds bitter just from the name, but is it easy to drink?
Hop BroThat's exactly what makes Kiln Ash appealing. It's the kind of beer where the hop character really stands out. Citrus and pine-like notes hit clean and sharp, so IPA fans will love it.
MugiI see. Then what is a faux lager? It sounds like a lager but fake, like it's tricking you!
Hop BroIt's a fun idea, like an optical illusion, but in practice it's designed to be easy-drinking. Shukuen III is all about a light, brisk drinkability, aiming for that clean lager-like feel while still keeping a craft beer character.
MugiOkay, but having Toki Apple Cider in the lineup is a little unexpected. If I drank that between beers, it feels like my mouth would come back from the forest!
Hop BroExactly. It's a really solid refreshment option. Plus, Kanko IPA will turn into Shimakama Pale Ale once it runs out, and 1HH Superdelic will switch to OFF BELAY Hazy Pale Ale once it's gone, so the lineup changes depending on when you go.
MugiWait, it changes that much? Then a week with sahti in the lineup is basically a full-on beer sports festival! I want to drink in Kamado-cho and go to Kamata, both!
Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE, a brewpub in Kamado-cho, Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, has updated "This Week's Hakofune."
