Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE, Classics and New Releases Line Up in This Week's 6TAP
At Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture, the brewery's beer bar serves six fresh draft beers on tap. This week's official site update also confirms bottle beer updates, including SAKURA BRUT IPA and Kinka no Itadaki Strong Ale.
Hop BroThis week's topic is Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture. It's a brewpub attached to the brewery, and the big draw is that you can drink six freshly poured draft beers on tap.
MugiWait, six taps means there are six kinds of freshly poured draft beer? If that were me, I'd freeze at the entrance from having too many choices!
Hop BroWhat's more, true to Mino ware country, they serve each beer in a beer cup developed with a ceramic artist for that specific beer. It's HAKOFUNE's style to let you enjoy not just the flavor, but also how it pairs with the vessel.
MugiThat's so stylish! And this week's bottles include SAKURA BRUT IPA and Kinka no Itadaki Strong Ale, right? Those are the kind of names that make you want to drink them just from the label!
Hop BroExactly. And it's interesting that they also have very different directions, like the citrus saison MID NIGHT SUN and SMaSH IPA Simcoe. Since it's a directly operated taproom, it's convenient to follow the movements of both draft and bottle releases together.
MugiWhat's SMaSH supposed to mean, a spell? And then suddenly a name like Simcoe sounds like some foreign person, and my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroSMaSH means a single-hop recipe. The malt and hops are kept simple so that Simcoe's character comes through clearly. It's effective when you want the hop aroma to take center stage.
MugiI see, then I'm interested in bitter, hop-forward beers like Kanko IPA too! And Hon de White with banana- and peach-like aromas sounds like I'm basically eating fruit!
Hop BroThe lineup is really broad too, from the malty character of Yattokame Ale to the floral notes from Saaz hops in Anki Lager. And the Kamadaki Monogatari series includes something like Neochi Imperial Coffee Stout, which sounds dangerous and amazing just from the name.
MugiDangerous, but I want it! And if they also have house-smoked nuts, iburigakko cream cheese, beer stew, and keema curry, then the food is strong too. This is the kind of place where you'd end up staying a while!
Hop BroWith a relaxed space of six counter seats and 16 indoor seats, plus the option to bring in your own food, it's perfect for taking your time and comparing beers on the weekend. If you're looking for the one drink you want right now in Mizunami, HAKOFUNE is a place you shouldn't miss.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I'm thirsty just from reading the article! I'm going to start with SAKURA BRUT IPA and finish with the coffee stout!
Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture, is a brewpub attached to the brewery. In addition to being able to enjoy freshly poured draft beer from six taps, one of its defining features is that, in keeping with Mino ware's tradition as a pottery region, each beer is served in a beer cup developed with a ceramic artist for that specific beer.
On the official site section "This Week at Kamado," the bottle beer shop is featuring items such as SAKURA BRUT IPA, Kinka no Itadaki Strong Ale, MID NIGHT SUN (Citrus Saison), SMaSH IPA Simcoe, Yattokame Ale, Hon de White, and Asukama VISTA Fake Lager. In addition to the draft beer served in-house, being able to follow the lineup through bottles for takeout is the kind of flexibility you only get at a brewery-operated taproom.
The beers themselves are wide-ranging as well. Yattokame Ale is a pale ale whose hallmarks are a malty mouthfeel and the bright aroma derived from Citra and Amarillo. Anki Lager stands out for the floral, spicy aroma of Czech Saaz hops and its crisp finish. Kanko IPA is an IPA that delivers firm hop bitterness and body, while Hon de White is a Belgian white with aromas reminiscent of banana and peach. In addition, the Kamadaki Monogatari series includes distinctive beers such as Tokka no Gi IPA, Kamadaki Session Red Ale, Neochi Imperial Coffee Stout, and Kasumu Ryo-sen Hazy IPA, giving the lineup a very broad stylistic range.
The food menu includes house-smoked mixed nuts, iburigakko cream cheese, seasonal vegetable snacks, Buono Pork beer stew, and keema curry. With a calm space of six counter seats and 16 indoor seats, it is a place suited to anyone who wants to spend the weekend comparing beers carefully. The fact that outside food is allowed also makes it easy to use, and it is one spot worth remembering if you are looking for the one drink you want to have right now in Mizunami.
