Canal brewing in Oimachi updates its tap list with 8 beers, including Isekado and VERTERE
Canal brewing in Oimachi announced its latest tap list on April 7. The lineup includes its house IPA, "C #3," along with pours from Shiga Kogen, CAMADO, CRAFT BANK, Matsumoto Brewery, and RIOT BEER, plus canned arrivals from Isekadoya Beer and VERTERE.
Hop BroThe latest taps at Canal brewing in Oimachi are really interesting. Centered on the house IPA, C #3, a whole lineup of domestic craft beers from across Japan is on display.
MugiWait, they gather that much in Oimachi? A domestic craft beer gathering sounds like a festival!
Hop BroExactly. Canal brewing is Oimachi's first brewery, and I like how it creates a space where beer is the star in a standing-bar style. Even the lighting and counter are designed to make the glass look great.
MugiHuh, even though it's standing only, why does it look so good? What do you mean by making beer look beautiful?
Hop BroIt's all about how the light hits it and how the counter presents it, which changes the impression completely. For a beer with color like C #3 (IPA), when the foam and liquid color stand out properly, it looks even tastier.
MugiThat sounds fun! And names like SNOW MONKEY IPA and Kamadaki Monogatari sound strong just from the names!
Hop BroThat's the best part of this lineup. Comparing the hop aromas in Shiga Kogen's Hazy IPA, CAMADO's West Coast IPA, and CRAFT BANK's Hazy Pale Ale is what makes it fun.
MugiAnd it's not just IPA!? They even have Scottish ale and hard cider? That's too generous!
Hop BroExactly. Matsumoto Brewery's OLD SHILLING has a calm malt character, Green Neighbors' Eighteen Types of Apples brings fruitiness, and RIOT BEER's Nitro Ver- has a smooth mouthfeel, so the flavor range is very wide.
MugiAnd they have cans too, which is unfair! Isekadoya Beer’s FC TOKYO PALE ALE and VERTERE collaboration Another Cut both sound so good!
Hop BroWhat's more, the owner has personally sampled and selected the labels, and keeping them managed across up to 10 taps is reassuring. Today at Canal brewing, it's the kind of place that makes you want to compare pour after pour.
MugiI'm totally in craft-beer standby mode now! My urge to have a toast right away is getting way too strong!
The Current State of Domestic Craft to Enjoy in Oimachi
The brewery Canal brewing in Oimachi, Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo, has published its latest tap list. Canal brewing operates as Oimachi's first brewery and craft beer specialty shop, and its defining feature is a standing-bar style space centered on beer. From the lighting and sound system to the counter, the design is meant to make beer look its best, and glasses are available in multiple sizes.
The highlight of the day is first its house-brewed C #3 (IPA). That is followed by a lineup of distinctive labels from around the country. For example, Shiga Kogen Beer’s SNOW MONKEY IPA (Hazy IPA), CAMADO BREWERY’s Kamadaki Monogatari, First Movement: The Ignition Ritual (West Coast IPA), and CRAFT BANK’s BLOSSOM SYNDICATE (Hazy Pale Ale) make up a selection that invites you to compare the differences in hop character and aroma.
In addition, Oni Densetsu’s Mosaic Single Ver. (Pale Ale), Matsumoto Brewery’s OLD SHILLING Scottish Heavy (Scottish Ale), Green Neighbors Hard Cider’s ALL. Eighteen Types of Apples (Hard Cider), and RIOT BEER’s DarkLands -Nitro Ver- (Belgian Stout) are also on offer. From the sharp finish of IPA to the calm maltiness of Scottish ale, the fruitiness of hard cider, and the smooth mouthfeel of nitro stout, the range of flavors is quite broad.
There is also movement in cans, with Isekadoya Beer bringing in FC TOKYO PALE ALE (Pale Ale) and Another Cut (Hazy IPA). The latter is a collaboration with VERTERE, so you can enjoy a meeting of popular breweries not only on tap but also in cans.
Canal brewing is known as a shop where the owner travels widely around the country drinking craft beer and serves the labels selected from those outings. With up to 10 taps, it is also appealing that you can aim for a well-maintained pour that is managed carefully according to the day's condition. In Oimachi, it can be said to be an ideal spot to check out the domestic craft beers you want to drink right now all at once.
