Canal brewing lines up eight taps in Oimachi, from house IPA to collaborations
Canal brewing in Oimachi has released its latest tap list. The lineup centers on the house IPA C, alongside a Scottish Ale collaboration, a green-tea saison, a yuzu pilsner, a nitro porter, and more.
Hop BroCanal brewing in Oimachi is looking especially good today. Eight taps are on, built around their house-brewed IPA "C," with collabs and guest beers filling out the lineup.
MugiWhat, all eight at once? That sounds less like a tap list and more like a training camp for beer nerds. Where do we even start?
Hop BroThe first thing that jumps out is their own C IPA. Then it gets interesting with Canal brewing × CAMADO BREWERY's "try," a Scottish Ale sitting right beside it.
MugiWhoa, Scottish Ale? What even is that? Just hearing the name makes me picture it walking in wearing a cape.
Hop BroBasically, it's more malt-driven. Instead of leading with hop bitterness like an IPA, it leans into grainy depth and a gentle sweetness you can sip slowly.
MugiOkay, then how is Barbaric WORKS' Pony Boy, a Hazy IPA, different from CAMADO BREWERY's West Coast IPA, "Kiln-Fired Tale First Movement: Ignition Rite"? This is starting to sound like a weather report.
Hop BroPony Boy is juicy and hazy, with soft aroma and that cloudy look. "Ignition Rite," on the other hand, goes classic West Coast with a cleaner body and a polished bitterness.
MugiSo even IPAs have personality types! And then Nara Brewing brings a green tea saison, Shizuoka Brewing has a yuzu pils, and Nomcraft has a nitro porter? That is way too much information for one glass. What does nitro even mean?
Hop BroNitro means nitrogen-poured beer. The bubbles get much finer than normal carbonation, so a dark beer like Nomcraft's Porter -Nitro Ver- feels creamier and smoother.
MugiWhoa, soft even in the foam? I want that. And Egret Brewery's Anniversary Four has toasty malt, a honey-like aroma, and still drinks crisp, right?
Hop BroExactly. Canal brewing's real strength is the range for comparisons. With IPA, saison, pilsner, porter, and English pale ale all lined up, I want a full tasting flight myself.
MugiThat's it, I need a pint now! Thinking about how lively the August 8 Tap Take Over must have been just makes me want to head to Canal brewing and toast this whole lineup with you.
