Qnowa in Sapporo Pours GANGI BREWING's MOREISH and Two More Taps
On July 30, Qnowa in Susukino, Sapporo posted a new tap list featuring `MOREISH` from GANGI BREWING, `Heinzel` from Flora Fermentation, and `DARK LOVER SUMMER` from Shimanami Brewery. The brewpub also highlighted a limited uni dish for the day.
Hop BroSapporo has a good one today: Kunowa's three taps are built for summer, led by GANGI BREWING's MOREISH and two totally different follow-ups.
MugiWait, three different directions in one lineup? And there's a limited sea urchin dish too? That's way too much temptation for one post!
Hop BroExactly. MOREISH is a Modern Pils, ABV 4.5%, with that crisp, clean snap that works beautifully with food.
MugiHold on, Modern Pils? That sounds less like beer and more like a fashion brand strutting down a runway!
Hop BroFair reaction. Think of it as bitterness tuned neatly for today: pilsner roots, but lighter, friendlier, and a little more aromatic.
MugiOhhh, so it's basically the perfect first glass for a cool summer night. Then what's Heinzel from Flora Fermentation like?
Hop BroHeinzel is a Kölsch Style Ale, also 4.5% ABV with 27 IBU. It's an ale that drinks so clean even lager fans usually lean in.
MugiAnd now you've dropped the science code on me. Is IBU 27 like a report card for bitterness?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It's a bitterness yardstick. Not too sharp, which makes it fun to compare against DARK LOVER SUMMER, a 6.0% dunkel.
MugiA dunkel with sea urchin? Uni and dunkel sounds chaotic in the best possible way. That's a full Sapporo night right there!
Hop BroAnd with Haru's small plates plus that easy standing-bar vibe, the whole night clicks. I'd start with MOREISH and absolutely keep going.
MugiSame. I want that flight right now: MOREISH, then Heinzel, then DARK LOVER SUMMER to finish. This article fully made me thirsty.
Three taps matched to a Sapporo summer
Located on the 8th floor of the Playtown Fujii building, `Qnowa` is a compact beer pub serving three craft taps, sake, and small home-style plates. It is close to Susukino Station, with counter seating and standing room that make it easy to drop in.
In the July 30 post, the owner, Haru, opened with a friendly update and noted the cool Sapporo summer weather before sharing the day’s tap list. On the food side, Qnowa prepared a one-day-only dish using uni from Yagishiri. The caption also mentions wanting to make uni pasta, which reinforces the seasonal focus of the menu.
The `today's beer` line starts with `PIRONO BEER→GANGI Brewing`, followed by three beers:
- `MOREISH` / `GANGI BREWING` - Modern Pils, ABV 4.5%
- `Heinzel` / `Flora Fermentation` - Kölsch Style Ale, ABV 4.5%, IBU 27
- `DARK LOVER SUMMER` / `Shimanami Brewery` - Dunkel, ABV 6.0%
The lineup moves from a crisp pilsner to a Kölsch-style ale and a darker Dunkel, giving drinkers a clear range to explore alongside the food. It is a concise example of what Qnowa does well: a small space, a focused beer list, and seasonal plates that make the taps easier to enjoy.
