The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho lines up four beers for July 29
The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho has posted its July 29 tap list. The lineup brings together four beers from Hansharo Beer, Shiga Kogen, and Minoh, including a hand-pumped real ale. It is open on Wednesday through Saturday evenings.
Hop BroToday’s topic is The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho. Their July 29 tap list looks strong, with four beers from Hansharo Beer, Shiga Kogen, and Minoh, and it feels perfect for a quiet night of serious drinking.
MugiWait, what! Just four beers on tap gets you this excited? You’re making it sound like a breaking news event in the beer world!
Hop BroThe lineup earns it. They’ve got Hansharo Beer’s English Gold Summer Ale, Shiga Kogen’s Draft Pale Ale, Minoh’s limited Spring Lager, and Hansharo Beer’s Souun served as a real ale pour.
MugiHold on, Shiga Kogen DPA sounds like some secret code. I thought you were about to unlock a spy briefcase.
Hop BroDPA means Draft Pale Ale. It keeps the easy-drinking side of a pale ale, but still lets the hop character come through in a clear, tasty way.
MugiOh wow! Then what’s up with Souun being a real ale? And served by hand pump? That sounds less like beer and more like arm day at the gym.
Hop BroHere’s the fun part: it’s beer kept with gentle natural carbonation in the cask, then pulled by hand. That usually gives it a softer mouthfeel, which can make a pale ale like Souun feel rounder and more expressive.
MugiOkay, so this isn’t a loud party place. It’s open Wednesday to Saturday from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m., and groups are capped at four, which really says, “please focus on the beer.”
Hop BroExactly. I’d start with the light English Gold Summer Ale, move to the limited Spring Lager, then enjoy the aromatic Shiga Kogen DPA, and finish with Souun on real ale for a calm, thoughtful last glass.
MugiThat is such a perfect plan. A quiet tasting flight in a cozy pub sounds like peak grown-up summer. Now I really want to go and end the night nodding at a pint of Souun with you.

The tap list covers a good range of styles: a summer ale for a lighter start, Shiga Kogen's DPA for a hop-forward pale ale, a limited lager from Minoh, and Soun served as real ale for a cask-minded finish. That makes the lineup suitable for drinkers who want to compare different expressions side by side.
