Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE updates its June 26-28 tap list, including a tea red ale
Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu has released its weekly schedule and tap list for June 26-28. The lineup spans Scottish ale, schwarzbier, lemon saison, West Coast IPA, a hazy pale ale, and a barrel-aged Belgian tripel, with a trial tea red ale set to join the rotation.
Hop BroThis week’s highlight is Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE and its June 26-28 tap update. The range is wild, from IPA to barrel-aged, and there’s even an experimental tea red ale called YURU waiting in the wings.
MugiWait, that’s such a huge range! A tea red ale? Is this beer trying to sneak in dressed like afternoon tea?
Hop BroThat’s exactly the fun part. YURU is an Earl Grey-based experimental beer YURU with bergamot citrus on top of toasty malt, and it’s designed to stay light and easy to drink.
MugiBergamot suddenly sounds fancy! And when you say malt, my brain turns into a bakery meets tea shop situation.
Hop BroMalt is grain that brings sweetness and toastiness to beer. So YURU is basically floral tea aroma layered with toasty grain notes.
MugiOooh, that actually makes sense! But then I see names like Kiln Ash and OFF BELAY, and wow, even the names sound intense.
Hop BroKiln Ash is a 6.0% West Coast IPA with a clean, defined hop profile, and when it kicks, Escape the Routine takes over. OFF BELAY is a hazy pale ale with a softer aromatic feel.
MugiHold on, a defined hop profile? Is beer getting a facial structure analysis now?!
Hop BroIn a way, yes. It just means the bitterness and citrusy hop character come through clearly. And Baker’s Brew#0 Prologue is barrel-aged Belgian tripel, so you also get those cask-matured aromas.
MugiWow, that suddenly sounds like the final boss of grown-up beer. Schwarz, lemon saison, even the try Scottish ale... this is a tasting-flight paradise.
Hop BroAnd on June 27 there’s a birthday party for June-born guests, outside celebratory drinks are allowed, and they’ve got fresh-baked pizza. June 28 even includes a Kyoto festival appearance, so this is a full lap lineup.
MugiThat settles it. I’m starting with YURU and the lemon saison, and you’re obviously going Kiln Ash into the barrel-aged one. Let’s go drink right now!

Once the first beer, "try Scottish Ale," runs out, the tap will switch to "YURU," a trial red tea red ale. The brewery describes it as using Earl Grey, with bergamot citrus aroma layered over malty toastiness, designed to stay light and easy to drink. Another change is planned after "Kiln Ash" kicks: "Escape the Routine / West Coast IPA / 6.0%" will follow, giving hop-focused drinkers another beer to look forward to.
The range is broad, moving from a clean schwarzbier and lemon saison to a hazy pale ale and a barrel-aged Belgian tripel. For beer drinkers who like to compare styles side by side, the lineup offers clear differences in aroma, bitterness, and finish.
Saturday, June 27 also includes a birthday gathering for June-born guests, and the bar notes that celebratory drink bottles are allowed on that day only. Food will include freshly baked pizza made with Kamado bread. On Sunday, June 28, the team will also appear at the Kome to Mugi Festival 2026 in Kyoto, making this a busy week both inside and outside the taproom.
