Beer pub OAM, located in Kobe’s Nakayamate district, is serving seven craft beers on tap. The lineup is led by Kin-Oni Rororien Single Ver. from Oni Densetsu in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido. As a single-hop beer, it offers an opportunity to focus on the character and aroma of one hop variety.

The list also includes Humble Sea Helles from California’s Humble Sea and Harvest III from Pennsylvania’s LOLEV. Kobe-based open air contributes two beers: huajiao hazy and jungle juice. The combination makes it possible to compare international beers with locally brewed examples at the same counter.

Rounding out the taps are Zakkoku Weizen from Mugi Zakkoku Kobo in Ogawa, Saitama, and Hop Nyaon Dai 13 Kantai from Ise Kadoya Beer in Mie. From the soft, grain-forward character associated with wheat beer to hop-driven expressions, the selection offers several different directions for a tasting session.

The list ranges from clear beers to hazier pours with pronounced hop and yeast character. Availability may change as kegs run low, so guests looking for a specific beer should check with the pub before visiting.

OAM is a craft beer-focused pub near Sannomiya, offering carefully selected domestic and imported beers on tap. Its name reflects the idea of a relaxed hideaway where people with different backgrounds can gather over good beer. For anyone exploring Kobe’s craft beer scene, this seven-beer lineup is worth checking.
