Canal brewing in Oimachi announces 8 taps, including SNOW MONKEY IPA
Canal brewing in Oimachi, Tokyo, has shared its current tap list on Instagram. The lineup centers on its house IPA and adds guest beers such as Shiga Kogen's SNOW MONKEY IPA and Ise Kadoya's Imperial Red Ale.
Hop BroWhat caught my eye in Oimachi is Canal's eight taps on Instagram. The lineup is built around their house IPA, with guest kegs adding even more range.
MugiWhoa! Eight taps at once sounds like an immediate choice paralysis situation! Which one are you staring at first?
Hop BroMy first pick is SNOW MONKEY IPA. It's a Hazy IPA from Shiga Kogen Beer with citrus, a peach-like aroma, and a dry finish that keeps it surprisingly light.
MugiWait, what is Hazy IPA exactly? It's cloudy but still light? That sounds like the glass is giving mixed signals!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Cloudy but still crisp usually means the beer pushes hop aroma up front while keeping the finish dry. In plain terms, it looks like peach juice but drinks like it knows what it's doing.
MugiWhat is that description! Peach-juice senior sounds like a whole character intro. So it's not just IPA nerd territory?
Hop BroNot at all. The list really spreads out. Built around C #3 from Canal, then you've got Isekadoya's Imperial Red Ale, FLORA LAGER, OLD SHILLING Scottish Heavy, and even an apple hard cider.
MugiThat's wild, the style range is huge. But DarkLands Nitro Ver sounds like it should transform into a motorcycle or something.
Hop BroNitro means poured with nitrogen. On a dark beer like RIOT BEER's DarkLands, that gives you finer bubbles and a softer, smoother roast impression.
MugiSo dark beer turns silky? That's not a pint anymore, that's a fancy cafe dessert in a glass!
Hop BroAnd Canal brewing is open from 5 p.m. on weekdays, 2 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Start with FLORA LAGER, slide into SNOW MONKEY IPA, then finish on DarkLands and tell me that doesn't sound perfect.
MugiThat plan is instantly worth doing in Oimachi. Add their house-brewed C #3, and I can already hear myself saying, 'okay, just one more.'
Canal brewing, a brewery in Oi, Shinagawa, Tokyo, has posted its current beer lineup on Instagram. The selection is built around the house `C #3 (IPA)` and expands into an eight-tap range that reaches from lager to pale ale, Scottish ale, hard cider, and dark beer.
Current taps
- `C #3 (IPA)` / Canal brewing
- `SNOW MONKEY IPA` / Shiga Kogen Beer
- `Imperial Red Ale` / Ise Kadoya Beer
- `FLORA LAGER` / FLORA FERMENTATION
- `Mosaic Single Ver.` / Onidensetsu
- `OLD SHILLING Scottish Heavy` / Matsumoto Brewery
- `ALL. 18 kinds of apples` / Green Neighbors Hard Cider
- `DarkLands -Nitro Ver-` / RIOT BEER
The standout pour is Shiga Kogen's `SNOW MONKEY IPA`. It is described as a Hazy IPA with citrus brightness, a peach-like aroma, and a dry finish, so it keeps the juiciness in check and avoids becoming too heavy. That makes it approachable not only for hop fans, but also for drinkers who want a softer, more balanced hazy beer.
The rest of the board is equally varied: Ise Kadoya's `Imperial Red Ale`, FLORA FERMENTATION's `FLORA LAGER`, and RIOT BEER's `DarkLands -Nitro Ver-` give the list clear stylistic contrast. It is the kind of place where you can start with something crisp, move into richer malt character, and finish with a roasty dark beer.
According to the posting, the brewery opens at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and at 2:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. For a beer stop in Oimachi with both house beer and guest taps, Canal brewing looks like a practical choice.
