Canal brewing in Oimachi, Tokyo, updated its tap list on May 4. BADASS BEER BASE's "FUJI&SUN Session IPA" is now on tap, and a Nomcraft BREWING tap takeover is also scheduled to begin on May 8.
Hop BroAt Canal brewing in Oimachi, a May 4 tap update has landed. Today the lineup is strong not only with the house IPA, but also with guest beers, and the standout is BADASS BEER BASE's FUJI&SUN Session IPA.
MugiWait! Session IPA is still an IPA even though it's lighter? It sounds strong just from the name, but it's actually gentle?
Hop BroExactly. What makes it appealing is that chug-chug kind of lightness. The idea behind a Session IPA is to keep the alcohol presence from feeling too heavy, while still leaving the aroma intact and making it easy to drink for a long time.
MugiWhat? So it's easy to drink but still bright and aromatic? Isn't that too convenient a beer to exist? That's kind of unfair!
Hop BroIt does exist. And FUJI&SUN Session IPA uses hibiscus and lemon myrtle, so the aroma comes through bright and airy. It feels like the openness of a festival has been poured straight into a glass.
MugiOhhh! That sounds like floral aromas with a citrusy freshness! Then it's perfect for spring into early summer.
Hop BroWhat makes Canal brewing especially interesting is the way it lines up house IPA and strong guest offerings. With house and collaboration beers like C #3 and Momonga Bongos, plus names like Onidensetsu and Yamabushi, just looking at the tap list feels like a little bar-hopping expedition.
MugiWait, barrel-aged Yamabushi too? The tap list is basically turning into a drinking-party general election!
Hop BroExactly. And on May 8 and 9 there's a Nomcraft BREWING TTO coming up, followed by Shanti Curry on May 13 and the 3rd anniversary event on May 23. The fun of Canal brewing is that there's something enjoyable about following the brewery's movements themselves.
MugiWow, May is packed with events! You go for the beer and before you know it, your calendar is full too.
Hop BroBeing easy to stop by from the station in Oimachi is great too. It's the kind of place where you can drop in casually after work and take your time choosing a drink for the night.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want to drink right now! Starting lightly with FUJI&SUN Session IPA, then going hard with the TTO after that, is just too perfect!
