At the beer pub BOKKE in Minamihoribata-cho, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, a tap takeover (TTO) for Omishima Brewery was held. The post described it as a “cold weekday night that didn’t feel like the arrival of spring,” while also expressing gratitude for the customers who came out, suggesting that the event was strongly supported.

This time’s centerpiece was Omishima Brewery, based on Omishima Island along the Shimanami Kaido. The lineup introduced from the brewery included a blonde ale with classic easy-drinking appeal, an IPA with hop aroma and bitterness, a Belgian ale with expressive character from the yeast, a white ale that highlights citrus notes, and a stout with depth and richness.

BOKKE is one of Matsuyama’s bars where you can enjoy craft beers from both inside and outside the prefecture. This event, centered on a local brewery, stood out for the enjoyment of side-by-side tasting. In particular, a TTO is appealing because it lets you follow multiple labels from the same brewer all at once. Since you can experience the differences in aroma, bitterness, body, and aftertaste over the course of a single night, it is an event that craft beer fans should not miss.

The fact that people came out even on a weekday suggests both BOKKE’s ease of use as an everyday spot and the strong trust in Omishima Brewery. Beer fans in the Matsuyama area will likely want to keep an eye on the next tap announcement as well.
