Hop BroKyoto news is hot right now! Kyoto Arashiyama Brewery just placed in two categories at the UNTAPPD Community Awards 2026. They announced it on Instagram at 16:55 on March 5.
MugiWait, two categories? That’s amazing! Which beers won?
Hop BroThe Stout got Silver, and the Kölsch got Bronze. The Stout was listed as "Stout - Irish Dry," so it was recognized for a classic style done right.
MugiWhat? "Irish Dry" sounds like the test scope just got way bigger!?
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a dark beer with restrained sweetness and a crisp finish. It has a strong roasted character, but the aftertaste drops away cleanly.
MugiOhhh! Dark but not too heavy sounds really interesting! What’s the Kölsch like?
Hop BroThe Kölsch is light and very drinkable. In other words, it goes down smoothly. On the award pages, the 2025 community ratings were 3.69 for the Stout and 3.50 for the Kölsch, so they’re clearly well supported too.
MugiEven the numbers are strong! And two totally different beers made the cut? That brewery has way too much range!
Hop BroExactly. And the fact that you can drink them at the Kyoto taproom is great. It’s open weekdays from 15:00 to 22:00 and weekends from 12:00 to 22:00, and it’s easy to reach from Sanjo Station or Kyoto City Hall-mae Station.
MugiThat settles it! I’ll start with the Kölsch and Hop-senpai can have the Stout, right? ...No, let’s compare both after all! I want to go to Kyoto now!
