Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE, This Week's 6-Tap Lineup Includes Yatto Came Ale and More
The brewpub Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture, has released its guide to this week's six draft taps and related products. From core beers named after local dialect to a series that reflects the scenery of kiln firing, the lineup spans a wide range of styles.
Hop BroThis week at Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE, the six draft taps are especially solid, which makes it fun. At this brewpub in Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, they weave local dialect and the scenery of kiln firing into the beer names, and that already gives the whole thing a strong narrative.
MugiWait, the beer names are like a picture book! Yatto Came Ale? What is that? It sounds cute, but also suddenly rich and intense, so now I'm curious!
Hop BroThat's the appeal. It's a pale ale with a malty palate layered with bright Citra and Amarillo aromas, and the local feel of 'Yatto Came' pairs nicely with the hop brightness.
MugiMalty again! Does that mean malt-like sweetness? The jargon just keeps floating off into the sky!
Hop BroBasically, yes. It's the grain's umami and sweetness forming the base, with hop aroma on top. Anky Lager, on the other hand, is a crisp one, with floral and spicy notes from Czech Saaz hops.
MugiOhhh! Czech Saaz sounds so international all of a sudden. Floral, but with a little kick? It feels elegant, but with personality!
Hop BroAnd what's more, this place is hot because it expresses the scenery of kiln firing through beer. From First Movement's Ignition Rite IPA, to Second Movement's Kiln-Firing Session Red Ale, to Third Movement's Falling Asleep Imperial Coffee Stout, and Fourth Movement's Blurred Ridges Hazy IPA, you can basically drink the whole story in one night.
MugiWait, wait, Falling Asleep Stout is an intense name! The moment I hear 8.0%, I want to get a blanket ready!
Hop BroThat one has coffee aroma and deep richness, and it's the kind of beer that makes you happy if you sip it slowly. Plus, in the taproom, you can drink it from beer cups developed with ceramic artists, which makes each liquid style show a different face. That's the interesting part.
MugiWhat is that, an exhibit you can drink? And six counter seats makes it feel like a place to really sit down and focus. Plus they even have Boono pork beer stew? That's almost unfair!
Hop BroExactly. They've got everything from light snacks to hearty plates, so you can play around and match the food to each beer's personality. The bottles and EC site also have Bonsai Pale Ale and SAKURA BRUT IPA, so they don't stop at just what you drink in the shop.
MugiNow I definitely want to go drinking there! If local stories and beer are connected like this, then the weekend can only mean one thing: a pint in Kamado-cho!
