The beer pub Bakushujima-omotecho- in Omotecho, Kita Ward, Okayama City, updated its draft lineup in an Instagram post on April 10. The shop is on the first floor of Hibariterasu inside the shopping arcade, just a two-minute walk from Tenmaya Okayama Main Store. It is an easy place to drop by while strolling through the city.

There were 12 draft beers on tap that day. The IPA lineup, which lets you enjoy the distinctive character of hops, included Mariposa IPA and Defender IPA. The list also featured Hazy 0703HAZY and Kyoto Brewing's Shukyu 6-nichi, making it easy to compare differences in aroma and bitterness. In addition, the tap list included the uniquely named Goooal! and Rokuyonsan, giving it a lively look as well.

Among the domestic and familiar selections were Setouchi Weizen and Jazzberry, along with Premium Malts, Ichiban Shibori Kuro Nama, Heartland Nama, and All-Free Nama. The balance of the lineup makes it a good fit both for people who want to compare craft beers and for those who prefer well-known labels.
