MugiOh, being able to see the business days is so helpful! Travel disasters always feel worst when you show up and the place is closed.
Hop BroAnd the inside isn't just any brewpub, either. It was renovated from a former bank, so there's a counter with a view of the taps, plus a small room that uses the old vault.
MugiThey turned a vault into a room!? That's basically a secret base you can drink in. It makes me want to explore before I even order beer!
Hop BroThe regular beers you can drink are three types, starting with the flagship Keika. It's a pale ale with aromas that come through like grapefruit, lime, and melon.
MugiGrapefruit, lime, and melon? Isn't that an overload of aromas? If that much is in there, I'd get confused!
Hop BroThat's the hop-derived aroma. They're not adding fruit, it's all about how the hop fragrance is designed. Beer really is built a bit like perfume.
MugiWow. So what kind of beer is the next one, Zankou? The name already sounds quietly delicious.
Hop BroZankou is a golden ale with a white-wine-like aroma and a passion-fruit-like note, and it's the kind of beer you can drink lightly and easily. It should be a great first drink after the hot springs.
MugiIf I drank that after a bath, I'd win instantly. It feels like my whole body would be completely recharged!
Hop BroThen Senrin is a West Coast IPA with citrus and pine-like aromas plus a sharp bitterness. The crisp finish comes in suddenly, which makes tasting them side by side fun.
MugiStarting with Zankou, then Keika, and finishing with Senrin sounds like an ascending ladder of flavor! But just hearing about it is already making my throat remember beer...
Hop BroExactly. What's nice is that it's not just for sightseeing, but also a brewpub that fits into local life. In Asamushi in May, I'd love to swing by and have a pint.
MugiYeah, I want a drink now! A pint in Asamushi sounds amazing, and today I want to go through all three starting with Keika!
Keika Brewing, a brewpub in Asamushi, Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture, has released its May business calendar on Instagram. The post serves as a useful guide for planning a visit, letting people check the brewery's open days in Asamushi Onsen town before heading over.
The shop is a space renovated from a former bank building, and in addition to counter seats overlooking the taps, it also features small private rooms created from the old vault. The atmosphere is calm and fitting for an onsen town, making it a place where guests can relax and enjoy craft beer at a leisurely pace.
The beers available are centered on three standard offerings featured on the official website. "Keika" is the flagship pale ale, with aromas of grapefruit, lime, and melon. "Zankou" is a golden ale with white-wine-like aromas and hints of passion fruit, and its hallmark is a light, easy-drinking character. "Senrin" is a West Coast IPA notable for aromas of citrus and pine, along with a sharp bitterness.
If you stop by after enjoying the hot springs in Asamushi, it would be interesting to start with the lighter "Zankou," move on to the aromatic "Keika," and finish with the firmly bitter "Senrin." Rather than being just another stop in a sightseeing area, it is the kind of brewpub that fits naturally into local food culture and everyday life, making it a place worth dropping into casually in May.
