Hop BroThis week’s headline is Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE. That brewpub in Mizunami, Gifu just rolled out six fresh taps, led by Natsuzora Sansho Ale.
MugiWait, Natsuzora Sansho Ale? What is that! Sansho in beer sounds like my mouth is about to turn into a Japanese restaurant.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Sansho adds a bright green aroma more than straight-up heat, so it fits a summer ale really well.
MugiWhoa! But Ripe Ume Brut IPA is even more mysterious. Brut? Why is this beer suddenly acting like champagne?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s pretty close. Brut IPA aims for a sparkling wine-like finish, and this one uses ripe local ume during fermentation, then layers in apricot, peach, and pear-like aromas.
MugiThey soak it during fermentation!? Soaked during fermentation sounds like the plums are on a spa vacation, but apparently it’s a serious brewing move!
Hop BroIt really changes how the aroma comes through. And the full lineup includes Ankii Lager, Kawachi Bankan Sour, Shakka no Gi IPA, and Discovery#1 High Aroma Hazy IPA, so all six fresh taps have their own personality.
MugiHold on, High Aroma Hazy IPA sounds like a tongue twister! What does hazy actually mean?
Hop BroIt means an IPA with a cloudy look and the hop aroma pushed forward. Plus HAKOFUNE has an attached brewery and even serves beer in artist-made ceramic cups, so the whole experience feels intentional.
MugiOkay, now I have to go. If they’ve got beer-braised pork and snacks too, I want a pint in Mizunami immediately!
Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE, a brewpub in Mizunami, Gifu, has updated its weekly tap list. The post covers the lineup for August 21 to 23 and highlights six draft beers on tap.
The current selection includes Anki Lager, Natsuzora Sansho Ale, Kawachi Bankan Sour, Tachibi no Gi IPA, Discovery #1 High Aroma Hazy IPA, and Kanjuku Ume Brut IPA. The Brut IPA replaces the brewery's Schwarz for the moment and is brewed with fully ripened plums from Kamado Town. According to the post, the beer layers aromas reminiscent of apricot, peach, and pear, aiming for a sparkling-wine-like profile rather than a sharp green-plum sourness.
HAKOFUNE offers freshly poured draft beer from six taps in an attached brewery setting. Another distinctive feature is the pairings with ceramic beer cups developed with local potters, reflecting the area's Mino ware culture. Food options include house-smoked mixed nuts, pickled radish cream cheese, seasonal vegetable snacks, beer-braised pork, and keema curry. The venue has six counter seats and 16 indoor seats, and also accepts weekday private bookings.
For beer fans heading to Kamado, this is a spot where the tap list, local ingredients, and regional craft context come together in one place.
