Canal brewing in Oimachi refreshes 8 taps, with Funky Monky Mango on the lineup

Hop BroCanal brewing in Oimachi posted its latest tap list on Instagram on April 21. It jumps from its own C #3 to 8 beers at once, and it's a pretty substantial update.
MugiWhoa, an 8-tap refresh? That's a lot! If they all change at once, it's hard to know what to drink first!
Hop BroThe lineup includes Nomcraft's Mystic Tiger, Faló's Chonk, FLORA's Lupus -Strata-, MAHOWBREW's Muninn, Green Neighbors' SOUR TOKI ver., THREE ARROWS' Funky Monky Mango, and RIOT BEER's ROVO -Nitro Ver-, so the range for side-by-side tasting is the real strength.
MugiWait, just hearing Hazy IPA and Double IPA makes me feel tipsy! How are those different?
Hop BroIn broad terms, Hazy IPA means haze and juiciness, while Double IPA leans into a heavier hop load and stronger bitterness. So Mystic Tiger is aroma-focused, Chonk is more full-bodied, and it's really a battle of hop character.
MugiOhhh! And it's a standing-bar style place with up to 10 taps. Keeping beer in great condition in a small shop feels kind of artisanal!
Hop BroExactly. Canal brewing focuses on temperature control and tap cleaning, and its selling point is serving beer from all over Japan in clean, well-kept condition. It's also easy for women to drop in alone, welcomes families, and has that locally rooted atmosphere.
MugiAnd that featured Funky Monky Mango uses mango puree? That's unfair! If I drink that on a spring afternoon, I'll feel like I'm on a trip.
Hop BroThat's THREE ARROWS BREWING's Fruits Pale Ale, with a vivid yellow color and tropical, rich aromas. MAHOWBREW's Muninn is a Munich-style Helles, and Green Neighbors' SOUR TOKI ver. is hard cider, so the broad mix of flavors is what makes it interesting.
MugiWow, if there's both beer and cider, it's basically a tasting tour! The 4/25 birthday event, the 5/9 Nomcraft Tap Take Over, and the 8/8 Canal Tap Take Over all sound exciting too!
Hop BroRight? Because the tap lineup changes so fast, the view is different every time you go. This is the kind of place that makes you want to keep track not just of today's drink, but of what's coming next too.
MugiThen I can't hold back anymore! My drink-of-the-day candidate is Funky Monky Mango, and I want to have C #3 too.
