Triangle in Kobe's Minatogawa features four BrewBeast Brewery beers
Craft Beer Shop Triangle in Kobe's Minatogawa introduced four beers from BrewBeast Brewery in Hanamaki, Iwate. The lineup spans a West Coast Pilsner, a West Coast IPA, a Session Pale Ale and a Weizen, giving drinkers a broad range to compare.
Hop BroI want to talk about the four BrewBeast beers featured by Triangle in Minatogawa, Kobe.
MugiWhat, four at once? This is a full tasting round, and I am absolutely into it!
Hop BroTriangle is easy to drop into as a standing bar, but it still has up to eight taps plus loads of bottles and cans, so it is great for comparing styles.
MugiWhoa, okay, but West Coast Pilsner? How does a pilsner suddenly become a surfer?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. Kirkas at 5.5% keeps the crisp pilsner feel, then layers in citrusy hop aroma, and it is a collab with Valo in Morioka.
MugiSo it is clean and aromatic at the same time? That sounds like a perfect summer beer, and also a dangerous lunchtime decision!
Hop BroThen there is INAKAFES CAMP IPA, a West Coast IPA with stone-fruit notes, a hint of citrus, and just enough bitterness to feel built for BBQs, festivals, and camping.
MugiThat sounds amazing! So does Session Pale Ale mean the lightweight gear that lets you keep going forever?
Hop BroPretty much. Oh! Vibes at 4.0% has a lighter ABV with floral and citrus notes plus a little malty body, so it is super drinkable by the pint. And Hike Up is a Weizen themed around spring hiking season.
MugiCollabs, events, anniversaries, seasonal themes, all in one lineup... the range of the brewery is seriously impressive. I already want all four lined up in front of me.
Hop BroThat is exactly why this works so well. With a small-batch beer shop like Triangle, you can taste the whole range side by side, and that is where it gets really fun.
MugiDone. We start with Kirkas and end with the Weizen. At this point, I need a drink now is my only remaining thought!
Craft Beer Shop Triangle, a beer pub in Kobe's Minatogawa area, is the kind of place where you can drop in for a casual standing drink and compare styles side by side. It carries up to eight taps and roughly 100 bottled and canned beers, so the range is broad enough for both focused tastings and relaxed browsing. In its latest Instagram post, Triangle highlighted four beers from BrewBeast Brewery in Hanamaki, Iwate.
- `Kirkas` / West Coast Pilsner / 5.5%
A collaboration with Valo, a craft beer bar in Sainen, Morioka. Brewed as a summer-ready West Coast Pilsner, it combines citrus-driven hop aroma with a clean, balanced finish.
- `INAKAFES CAMP IPA` / West Coast IPA / 5.5%
The official IPA for INAKAFES CAMP, an event held in Hanamaki. It is built around moderate bitterness, stone-fruit character and a light citrus note, making it a natural fit for festivals, camping and BBQ.
- `Oh! Vibes` / Session Pale Ale / 4.0%
Brewed to celebrate the anniversary of Shitoraba Nakano, a beer bar in Tokyo. The low-ABV recipe leans into floral and citrus notes with a touch of malt sweetness, making it easy to keep drinking by the pint.
- `Hike Up` / Weizen / 5.5%
A Weizen inspired by spring hike-up season on the slopes. The beer frames the feeling of skinning or hiking up for another lap, turning that seasonal rhythm into a glass.
BrewBeast Brewery started as a self-renovated brewery project in Hanamaki, and this four-beer lineup shows how wide its range can be: collaboration beer, event beer, anniversary beer and a seasonal Weizen, all from the same brewery. For a venue like Triangle, which handles a large tap and bottle selection in a compact space, that kind of variety is exactly where the fun lies.
