At Omishima Brewery, the "Coffee Pale ~Munimal Cafe ver~" made with beans from the self-roasting coffee shop "munimal cafe," which opened on Omishima in April, is being served. Alongside the standard blonde ale and IPA, it is a glass worth noting as one that shows the island's connections.
Hop BroAt Omishima Brewery, they've tapped "Coffee Pale ~Munimal Cafe ver~," made with beans from munimal cafe that came to the island in April.
MugiWhoa! Coffee shop beans go into beer? So the connections across the island are really that direct!
Hop BroExactly. It's a 5.5% pale ale that carries the coffee's depth and aroma beautifully.
MugiI hear pale ale a lot, but what is it? Pale ale sounds kind of strong just from the name!
Hop BroPut simply, it's a style that's lighter in color and easy to drink. Here, the coffee character is layered on while keeping it smooth and well balanced.
MugiOh, wow! And Omishima Brewery is in the middle of the Shimanami Kaido, right? It sounds so fun to stop there in the middle of a trip!
Hop BroIt's a brewpub run by a married couple, and they're also great at beers that use Omishima citrus. The standards are a blonde ale and an IPA, so the tasting lineup is really solid.
MugiIPA is the bitter one, right? But the article says they also have a pale one with the bitterness toned down, and now I'm curious!
Hop BroThat's the white ale. Because it uses citrus to soften the bitterness, drinking it after the coffee guest beer makes the island's character easier to notice.
MugiAnd it has takeout, plus mixed nuts and salami? That's amazing! It's so helpful to be able to stop in for just one drink while sightseeing.
Hop BroEnding with the stout is nice too, and another round of Coffee Pale would work as well. Today is definitely one of those days that makes you want to go drink an island beer.
MugiI totally want to drink it too! I want to start with the coffee-fragrant glass and try all the regular beers as well!
A coffee-fragrant glass to enjoy in the heart of the Shimanami Kaido
Omishima Brewery is a small local craft brewery located in the middle of the Shimanami Kaido. Run as a brewpub by a married couple, it highlights fruity beers that make use of Omishima citrus and a balanced drinkability that makes you want to keep going for another glass.
This time's topic is "Coffee Pale ~Munimal Cafe ver~," made with coffee beans from "munimal cafe," a self-roasting coffee shop that newly opened on Omishima in April. This 5.5% pale ale makes the most of the depth and aroma of the coffee beans, and can be called a local guest beer born from connections between shops on the island.
The regular lineup is distinctive as well. There is a low-character blonde ale, an IPA with pronounced hop bitterness and aroma, a white ale that uses citrus to soften the bitterness, and a rich yet easy-to-drink stout, so even if you're there for the guest beer, there is plenty of room for comparison tasting. You can start with the coffee-like aroma and then finish by confirming the brewery's character with the standard flavors.
In addition to serving beer by the glass, the shop also offers takeout. There are snacks such as mixed nuts, edamame, salami, and pork cheek bacon, making it easy to stop in for just one drink between sightseeing. This is one place worth remembering as a spot where you can enjoy Omishima's scenery and ingredients directly through craft beer.
