MugiWhat! Beer is traveling from island to island? That alone makes it sound already delicious!
Hop BroExactly, and what's making it is a husband-and-wife brewery on Omishima. Because it's small, it feels like beer with a face you can actually see, which is great.
MugiI see! But what exactly is a blond ale? The name sounds so blond it's like a model in the beer world.
Hop BroGood catch. A blond ale is, to put it simply, a classic style with little in the way of quirks, and it's the kind that's light and easy to drink. It's the reliable all-rounder, a good first-pour choice.
MugiThen what about IPA? Just hearing about hop bitterness makes my face tense up a little!
Hop BroIPA is a hop-centered beer that brings bitterness and aroma to the front. In Omishima Brewery's lineup, comparing it with the citrusy white ale makes the differences easier to notice.
MugiA citrus white ale! That's interesting! Omishima's specialty citrus really feels like the taste of the island itself.
Hop BroThat's right. The key point is that it's finished as an island-style glass with restrained bitterness that also goes well with food. The fruity character of the Belgian Ale and the richness of the Stout are there too, so the range is wide.
MugiWow, it's like a beer tasting paradise. Maybe start with the white ale for something refreshing, then finish off with the stout for something fuller-bodied!
Hop BroAnd at the event venue, they also offer takeout support with plastic bottles and plastic cups. It's very much in Omishima Brewery's style to drop by while traveling around the islands and enjoy it later on the go.
MugiThat's amazing! If you tour the market in Hakatajima and then toast with craft beer from the island, it's basically a reward to yourself!
Hop BroExactly. March 29 is Hakatajima - let's keep that in mind. Even the time you spend deciding whether to reach for the hop aroma first or the citrus aroma is part of the fun.
MugiIf I have to choose, I'll just have both! Today, just imagining a glass from Omishima is already making me want to drink it〜!

In addition to large and half-sized glasses, the menu also includes takeout options in plastic bottles and plastic cups, so you can enjoy it with carrying-out in mind even at an event venue. At the shop, there are unsweetened mandarin orange juice and soft drinks such as honey yuzu, and snacks like salami, pork jowl bacon, and sweet potato sticks, making it an easy place to stop by while still centering on beer.
