Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE Reworks Spring Tap Lineup in 3/13 Update
The brewpub Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture, has released its tap information updated on March 13. In addition to six beers ranging from house staples to high-ABV styles, the post also includes notes on the next keg changes and beers planned for events, making this week’s drinking highlights especially clear.
Hop BroThis is a perfect topic for spring drinking plans: the 3/13 tap update made Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE’s lineup really concrete.
MugiWhoa! Now I'm even more curious! And 3/14 opens at 15:00? That's the kind of thing where you can plan exactly when to go!
Hop BroRight now there are six beers: Honde White, Shimakama Pale Ale, MIDNIGHT SUN, Super SMaSH IPA SIMCOE, Kajiya's Hazy Triple, and Kinka no Itadaki Strong Ale, giving it a really broad style lineup.
MugiWhat is that! Super SMaSH IPA SIMCOE sounds like a spell made of jargon. I can't even say it in one breath!
Hop BroSMaSH is a recipe built with one malt and one hop, and this one is a single-ingredient, full-throttle IPA that really lets the character of the SIMCOE hop come through.
MugiOhh! So what happens with the third tap? Is there already a next keg lined up after MIDNIGHT SUN?
Hop BroThat’s the highlight this time: after the last keg of MIDNIGHT SUN, Kajiya's Caramel Stout is scheduled to go on, and it’s a collab stout design with BLADE FACTORY BREWING aimed at a lighter, easier-drinking finish.
MugiI always thought stout meant heavy, but that sounds doable for a first try! And they’re serving SAKURA BRUT IPA and Kasagi Yuzu Haze at events too, right?
Hop BroYes, and the important point is that the beers on tap in the bar and the beers offered at events are partly different. The brewpub is attached to the factory and only a 3-minute walk from JR Kamado Station, and the local food pairings are another big draw.
MugiThe info is so practical, it’s a huge help... I want to check the latest post before I go and make a note of the beers I want to drink in order!
Hop BroThis week’s hours are irregular, so don’t forget to confirm them first, then chase down the keg you want and go for the straight-to-cheers route—I’m already completely in the mood to drink!
Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE updated its latest operating information and tap list as of March 13. The post also clearly notes the weekend hours change (opens at 15:00 on 3/14), along with the current taps and the next keg rotation.
Current Tap Lineup (at the time of posting)
- Honde White (Belgian White)
- Shimakama Pale Ale (Pale Ale)
- MIDNIGHT SUN (Saison)
- Super SMaSH IPA SIMCOE
- Kajiya's Hazy Triple (Hazy Triple)
- Kinka no Itadaki Strong Ale (Strong Ale)
What stands out most in this update is the notice about the third tap. MIDNIGHT SUN is on its last keg, and after it ends, it is scheduled to roll into Kajiya's Caramel Stout. There is also an added note about what will follow if Honde White runs out first, which makes it practical for planning what you can drink based on when you visit.
Kajiya's Caramel Stout is introduced as a collaboration with BLADE FACTORY BREWING, and it is designed to keep the character of a stout while aiming for a light, easy-drinking finish. It is presented as an approachable glass even for people who do not usually choose dark beers.
The same post also mentions event-only offerings such as SAKURA BRUT IPA and Kasagi Yuzu Haze. It is also clearly stated that the beers on the in-house taps and the beers served for events are partly different, which is an important update for anyone following the lineup closely.
HAKOFUNE is a brewpub directly operated by Camado Brewery and attached to the brewery facility. It is just a 3-minute walk from JR Kamado Station, and one of its defining features is that you can pair draft beer with local food. This week’s hours are irregular from day to day because of staffing and opening-time changes, so checking the latest post before visiting is recommended.
