Canal brewing updates its taps on a rainy day, serving eight spring beers
Canal brewing in Tokyo's Oimachi updated its tap information on March 25, 2026. The lineup ranges from CAMADO BREWERY's "SAKURA BRUT IPA" to IPA, rice lager, sour, and stout, making it a setup you'll want to slowly enjoy on a rainy day.
Hop BroToday's Canal brewing tap update is interesting. In their March 25 post, they lined up eight spring-like beers.
MugiEight beers!? Eight on a rainy day sounds like the outside is damp, but the inside must be really lively!
Hop BroExactly, and the first one they feature is CAMADO BREWERY's SAKURA BRUT IPA. It's a brut IPA made with cherry blossom leaves, with a fragrance that opens up beautifully and a light body.
MugiA brut IPA? What is that!? Does brut IPA mean a beer with fizzy bubbles?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a light, dry IPA with fermentation pushed further so the sweetness is kept down. That means the hop aroma stands out while the finish stays crisp, and it's easier to pick up the cherry blossom notes too.
MugiOhh! So it's perfect as a first drink. And I love that they have two house-brewed IPAs too, which makes it feel really local!
Hop BroThat's one of Canal brewing's strengths. They show off their house-brewed core with C #3 and C #2, then smartly broaden the lineup with guest kegs.
MugiAnd they even have a Rice Lager! NARA CRUSH sounds way too energetic just from the name.
Hop BroThe Rice Lager from CHORYO Craft Beer x Barebottle Brewing is appealing because it's crisp and easy to drink. Then you have Nomcraft's Hazy IPA, open air's blueberry sour, and RIOT BEER's nitro stout, so the range of flavors is huge.
MugiWait, so they have both sweet-and-sour stuff and dark beer? If it goes from sour styles to roasted styles, this is the kind of lineup where one pint won't be enough.
Hop BroExactly. You can build a whole session from the first drink to the last, so I'd start with SAKURA BRUT IPA, move on to an IPA, and finish slowly with DarkLands -Nitro Ver-.
MugiThat's a great way to enjoy beer in Oimachi. Now I want to go on a spring tap crawl today too, and I want to drink with you and Hop Bro!
