Canal brewing to stay open daily in August, with first solo TTO on Aug. 8
Canal brewing, a craft-beer-focused brewery and beer bar in Oimachi, Tokyo, has announced its August schedule. The venue will be open every day in August, and it plans its first solo tap takeover on Aug. 8 with original and collaboration beers.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Canal brewing in August. Oimachi’s first brewery and craft beer specialty shop is going open every day in August, and they’re planning their first standalone TTO on August 8.
MugiWhat! Open with no breaks? That’s summer-training-camp energy, and the second you said TTO my beer brain completely froze!
Hop BroTap Take Over means an event where one brewery takes over the taps with its beers. This time, Canal brewing is expected to pour a full run of its original and collaboration beers.
MugiOooh! But beer names and styles still haven’t been announced? My mouth is already debating whether we’re getting IPA, lager, or something wild!
Hop BroRight now they’re still under wraps. But the owner reportedly tastes around 2,000 craft beers a year when selecting lineup ideas, so the quality expectations are pretty high.
MugiAt this point my hype is fermenting on its own! Even without the names, “originals and collabs” already sounds like a dangerous plan for my wallet.
Hop BroAnd the shop has up to 10 taps, plus a standing-drink style with lighting and sound designed to make the beer shine. That kind of space design really matters.
MugiNo way, the whole room is paired with beer too? That’s intense! Weekdays are 5 to 11 p.m., Saturdays 2 to 11, and Sundays or holidays 2 to 10, so now my calendar is under pressure.
Hop BroYep, but watch for private bookings. Closing times vary by day, and they’re asking people to check before visiting, so showing up blindly would be risky.
MugiNoted! And August 25 is Shanti Curry day, right? Beer is already enough to lure me in, but adding their regular food event is just unfair.
Hop BroThey’ve also got FUJIROCK and beyond on the schedule, plus a Cycad brewing TTO in September and a MAHOWBREW TTO in November. Still, August 8 feels like the main target.
MugiThat settles it, I need a pint in Oimachi. August 8 sounds like the day to drink Canal brewing’s personality straight from the taps, and now I want the curry day too!
