Hibinobia Features Shimanami Brewery and Kankiku Brewery Tap List
Hibinobia Craft Beer Kitchen & Store in Sakai, Osaka, has announced a September 11 tap list centered on Shimanami Brewery and Kankiku Brewery. The selection includes limited beers, fruit-forward seltzers, IPAs, lagers, and seasonal sake.
Hop BroHibinobia in Sakai, Osaka is pouring a Shimanami × Kankiku feature this September 11. It is the kind of tap list that makes a tasting flight feel inevitable.
MugiWhoa! There are 13 taps at the core? I might spend so long choosing that the pub closes before I order!
Hop BroFrom Shimanami Brewery, I would start with Strike Pilsner. It is light and crisp—exactly right for the first glass.
MugiThat name sounds athletic! But I am curious about Shimanami Cat with hassaku citrus and ice cream. Ice cream in beer is real?
Hop BroAbsolutely. It plays hassaku's gentle bitterness against creamy sweetness. There is also Shimanami Super Lemon Sour, a dangerously tempting lineup for citrus fans.
MugiHold on—what is a dry-hopped lager? Is it related to a dragon?
Hop BroClose only in sound. A lager is a beer family, and dry-hopping means adding hops after fermentation for a bigger hop aroma. No dragons involved.
MugiGood! Then Kankiku's OCEAN RICE ALE really uses rice? It does not taste like seawater, right?
Hop BroRice, not seawater. Kankiku also brings an American IPA and the limited hoppy weizen Madromi, so comparing their aromas should be a lot of fun.
MugiIPA and weizen too? My taste buds are going to an amusement park! And there is early-autumn hiyaoroshi sake and craft sake as well—my weekend is booked.
Hop BroCheck the current availability before visiting, then enjoy the pours with food. Pilsner first, citrus next, IPA to finish—let's toast in Sakai.
MugiDeal! I will start with the cat beer and then have one more… meaning all the way through! Let's go to Hibinobia—cheers!
