Beer Island omotecho announces HINO BREWING arrival and 12 draft beers
Beer Island omotecho, a beer pub in Okayama’s Omotecho district, announced a HINO BREWING arrival for its July 15 service. The post also highlighted a 12-beer draft lineup ranging from IPA and saison to non-alcoholic draft beer.
Hop BroToday, Bakushujima-omotecho's taps are the big story. In Omotecho, Kita Ward, Okayama, they lined up 12 draft beers for July 15 along with a Hino Brewing arrival, which is basically a summer festival with faucets.
MugiWhat! Twelve taps is a lot, right!? From IPA to non-alcoholic, that is the kind of menu that gets you lost before your first sip!
Hop BroAnd the headline item is Hino Brewing arriving. The exact beer names were not listed, but for guest beer fans, that only makes it more tempting.
MugiOhhh! But what exactly is a guest beer? Is it like a transfer student suddenly showing up in beer class?
Hop BroThat is actually close. It is like a limited-time guest spot, where a beer that is not part of the regular lineup joins for a while. That is why people get excited just from the arrival notice.
MugiI get it! And they also have Tamano West Coast IPA from Kurashiki Brewing and a Hazy Pale Ale from Mimasaka Beer Works, right? Local picks and national picks all at once is unfair!
Hop BroThat is the strength here. It is not just IPA and saison either. They also have white-beer styles like Hime White, aromatic picks like Earl Grey and Pineapple Ale, and even draft All-Free.
MugiHold on, what is saison? The name sounds more like a stylish magazine or salad dressing!
Hop BroSaison is a style that often feels light and dry, so it goes down easily on a hot day. On draft, the aroma pops more too, which makes it great in a cool pub.
MugiWow, now I really want a pint in Omotecho! Having food with it and slipping in a non-alcoholic draft along the way feels aggressively kind to summer.
Hop BroThe smart move is inside the cool pub, starting with the Hino Brewing guest beer, then moving through Tamano West Coast IPA, Fruity Saison, and the aromatic lineup.
MugiThat plan is making me want a drink now! By the time I get to Bakushujima, my throat is going to be fully tapped and ready.
Beer Island omotecho, located on the first floor of Hibariterasu in Omotecho shopping street, Okayama City, posted an update for its July 15 service and announced that beers from HINO BREWING in Shiga had arrived. The message also invited guests to enjoy craft beer and food in a cool, relaxed interior, making it a timely stop during the summer heat.
The pub is easy to reach, just a short walk from Tenmaya Main Store, yet the draft selection is broad. In the post, the bar introduced a "today's draft beer" lineup of 12 items:
- Earl Grey / Johana Beer (Toyama)
- Tamano West Coast IPA / Kurashiki Brewing (Okayama)
- Hazy Pale Ale / Mimasaka Beer Works (Okayama)
- Pineapple Ale / Saint Gallen (Kanagawa)
- Monolith / Uchu (Yamanashi)
- Rock Heart IPA / Frispi (Hyogo)
- Natsumatsuri 2026 / Kuriyama Craft (Hokkaido)
- Hime White / Ise Kadoya (Mie)
- Fruity Saison / SVB (Tokyo)
- Maruef Kuro Nama / Asahi Beer
- Heartland Nama / Kirin Beer
- All Free Nama / Suntory (non-alcoholic draft beer)
The lineup mixes local Okayama breweries with beers from around Japan, so it offers a good range for comparison. From hop-forward IPAs and hazy pale ale to a white beer, a fruity saison, and even non-alcoholic draft beer, the selection is built for slow drinking with a meal.
