Hop BroCanal brewing in Oimachi has put out a Today's Tap List. With house taps like C #3 and C #2, plus cans on the lineup, it was the kind of post that instantly sent my tasting-comparison urge into overdrive.
MugiWait, they have cans too, not just taps? That kind of tasting-comparison urge shows up that fast!?
Hop BroAnd what’s great this time is that the lineup is neatly balanced from IPA to dark beer. From NARA CRUSH and SAKURA BRUT IPA to Free Bird, berry belly, Tsubame Draught, and DarkLands -Nitro Ver-, it’s built so you can choose based on your mood.
MugiWhat is that! BRUT IPA sounds like a super-strong IPA or something, right? The name feels kind of intense!
Hop BroTake a breath there. The idea is more like a dry IPA with lively carbonation. CAMADO BREWERY’s SAKURA BRUT IPA is aiming for both brightness and a clean finish.
MugiOhh! So Nomcraft Brewing’s Free Bird is a hazy IPA, which means it’s probably juicy and cloudy? It says citrus too, so it sounds bright and tasty!
Hop BroExactly. When citrus aroma comes through, it pulls you in from the nose first. And with berry belly’s blueberry sour and DarkLands -Nitro Ver- in Belgian stout form too, the flavor range is really wide.
MugiWait, they’ve got sour and stout too!? This is a total traffic jam of flavors. My stomach is way too busy today!
Hop BroBut Canal brewing is within walking distance of Oimachi Station, and with 15 standing seats it’s easy to drop in casually. The open, family-friendly feel also adds to that relaxed accessibility.
MugiThat’s great. And if they’re suggesting three Cycad Brewing cans too, it feels perfect for grabbing one more on the way home and making it a spring detour.
Hop BroYeah, ONI SOTETSU, Cookie & Cream Po-taro, and Horridus is already a strong lineup, and it even makes me picture a post-hanami drink. Tonight, I want to go hard on both the taps and the cans at Canal brewing.
