Canal brewing to host its first Tap Take Over in Oimachi on August 8
Canal brewing in Oimachi will hold its first Tap Take Over on August 8, pouring eight beers in total, including house originals and collaborations. Limited food and a rock-paper-scissors contest are also planned.
Hop BroOimachi is about to get lively, because Canal brewing's first TTO is happening on August 8.
MugiWait, what, what even is TTO!? It sounds like a giant robot, but this is a beer event, right?
Hop BroTap Take Over means a bar fills its taps with one brewery's beers all at once. This time it's eight Canal brewing originals and collabs lined up together.
MugiWhoa, eight beers to compare? That's basically a festival! And it's their first one too, so the regulars must be fired up.
Hop BroFor the core lineup, C and C w/pineapple set the tone. Both are 5.5% IPAs, and the pineapple one layers a tropical note over the hops really nicely.
MugiThat sounds great, but Hazy Pale Ale and Saison and Nitro ver suddenly feel like a wall of beer jargon at full speed!
Hop BroMomonga Bongos is a Hazy Pale Ale, so it's cloudy, aromatic, and not too sharply bitter. Midnight Sun is a bright citrusy saison, and Peanut Butter Po-taro Nitro ver is poured with nitrogen so the foam turns extra smooth.
MugiHold on, extra smooth foam? So it's a drink, but the mouthfeel is heading toward dessert? Peanut butter porter already sounds illegally tempting.
Hop BroAnd the range is wide: Oldnew Downtown is a yuzu lager, Daylight Moon is a Fruit Ale, and try is a Scottish Ale. Everything except C and the new Po-taro is down to the last keg, so earlier is safer.
MugiWow, last keg alert is exactly the phrase that makes my feet start walking toward Oimachi on their own. Missing it would haunt me.
Hop BroThe food side is solid too, with four limited dishes: burritos, yum woon sen, bitter melon white kimchi, and chilled tofu with mala meat miso. There are rock-paper-scissors games around 3, 6, and 9 p.m. too.
MugiThat's it, I'm in. If we can drink from the originals to the newest collabs all in one day, I want one before the game and one after it.
