KEG-NAGOYA Receives Domestic Rum 'Aohara'; 12 Beers on the Spring Tap List
At the beer pub KEG-NAGOYA in Nagoya's Sakae district, the domestic rum "Aohara" (WHITE RHUM and SPICED RHUM) is being featured. The bar also has 12 beers and one real ale on tap, making it an easy place to use from daytime drinking to after-parties.
Hop BroThere’s a new arrival at KEG-NAGOYA in Nagoya’s Sakae district. This time it’s not just beer - domestic rum "Aohara" has shown up too, giving the place the vibe of a little spring drinking party venue.
MugiWhat, a craft beer bar with rum too!? Having so much beyond beer means it’s one of those places where you can’t decide what to drink!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. They’re featuring WHITE RHUM and SPICED RHUM from Aohara, made by Tenjinmura Brewery in Ehime. Even though it’s a beer pub, I like the idea that you can start your first drink with spirits or whiskey.
MugiSPICED RHUM sounds intense just from the name... with that big spice kick, doesn’t it kind of feel like rum with the aura of a curry shop?
Hop BroHaha, no, not quite. Along with spice notes, it’s a toasty style that uses ingredients unique to Japan. If you sip it slowly on the rocks and follow the aroma, the sweetness and spice really come into focus.
MugiI see! And there are 12 taps plus one real ale, right? That sounds like a beer lover’s exam hall - so exciting!
Hop BroThe lineup doesn’t miss either. If you want a citrusy ale, go for Yuzu Aroma Ale; if you want something brisk, move to a saison; if you want bitterness, head to an IPA. Then finish with a stout or porter and it feels like you climbed a staircase of flavor.
MugiWait, there’s even Japanese Pear Saison and Apple Cinnamon Ale in the middle? This is basically a 'dessert crawl'!
Hop BroExactly, and since they’re open from 17:00 to 23:00, it’s super convenient for daytime drinking to after-parties. It works whether you want to drink slowly with food or just stop in for a quick tasting flight.
MugiIf I’m stuck around Sakae Station, this is the kind of place I’d want to go to! Starting with beer and finishing with rum sounds a little grown-up, and honestly, that’s great.

The post highlights "Aohara" WHITE RHUM and SPICED RHUM, made by Tenjinmura Brewery in Ehime.
