The beer pub I's Public Ale House in Chatan, Okinawa, has announced its draft beer lineup for March 17, 2026. Featuring Minoh Beer’s pale ale, Iwate Kura Beer’s oyster stout, and Ushitora Brewery’s peach Weizen Bock, five beers with distinct personalities are on offer. Entry is limited to groups of four or fewer as an infection-control measure.
Hop BroThe March 17 keg rotation at I's Public Ale House in Chatan is seriously hot. A whole lineup of distinctive beers from across Japan is coming together at once!
MugiWhoa! You can do that much comparing in Okinawa? Five beers from across the country on tap sounds like finding a jackpot on a trip!
Hop BroThe first go-to is Minoh Beer’s Minoh Pale Ale Cask. Its fruity aroma and solid bitterness make it strong both as a first drink and with meals.
MugiWhat? Iwate Kura’s Oyster Stout actually has oysters in the beer!? That’s like seafood bowl thinking!
Hop BroIt’s an Irish-style beer made with shell-on oysters, creating coffee-like notes from the roasted malt and a rich mouthfeel. It also goes well with the saltiness of seafood.
MugiI see! So is there something gentle for beginners too? If it’s low on bitterness, it’s easier to recommend to friends!
Hop BroThere is, there is. Izu no Kuni Beer’s Weizen is all about the softness of wheat malt. And Ushitora’s “RANKAKU CHU-I” is a peach Weizen Bock, a bold 9% ABV beer!
MugiNine percent!? Even the name “RANKAKU CHU-I” is intense! A peach Weizen Bock sounds sweet, but it also seems to pack a punch. Scary, but I want to drink it!
Hop BroTo finish, SanktGallen’s “Sakura” lets you enjoy a fragrance that’s like sakura mochi from the blossoms and leaves. By the way, for infection control, groups larger than four aren’t allowed in.
MugiGot it, let’s go with four people or fewer! If we can do a compare-and-taste session in one place from the classics to seasonal beers, my throat is already in craft mode tonight!
At I's Public Ale House in Mihama, Chatan Town, Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture, the draft beer lineup for March 17 has been announced. As expected from a shop that focuses on craft beers from across Japan, this time too the selection spans both regions and styles. Please note that the store guide states that, as an infection-control measure, groups of more than four people are not permitted to visit.
The beer to watch this day is first Minoh Beer (Osaka Prefecture)’s Pale Ale (Minoh Pale Ale Cask). While showcasing the high level of polish that defines a standard beer, its fruity hop aroma and firm bitterness make it easy to pair with both the first drink of the day and with food.
For the dark side, Iwate Kura Beer (Iwate Prefecture)’s Oyster Stout (Iwate Kura Oyster Stout Cask) is on tap. An Irish-style beer made with shell-on oysters, it is characterized by roasted malt-derived coffee-like flavors and a rich mouthfeel.
On the lighter side, there is Izu no Kuni Beer (Shizuoka Prefecture)’s Weizen (Izu no Kuni Beer Hefeweizen). With the soft texture of wheat malt, it is designed to emphasize aroma while keeping bitterness low. It is an easy beer to share even with craft-beer beginners.
In addition, Ushitora Brewery (Tochigi Prefecture)’s RANKAKU CHU-I / Peach Weizen Bock is a distinctive high-alcohol release at 9% ABV, made with peach. Also appearing is SanktGallen (Kanagawa Prefecture)’s Sakura (SanktGallen Sakura), covering a seasonal beer with a sakura mochi-like feel using cherry blossoms and leaves.
From classic pale ale to oyster-driven stout, and on to fruit- and spice-forward limited editions. This is a tap update that gives craft beer fans an easy chance to compare a wide range of styles in a single venue.
