Sankt Gallen TAP ROOM in Hon-Atsugi pours seasonal watermelon wheat beer
Sankt Gallen TAP ROOM, steps from Hon-Atsugi Station, is featuring the seasonal draft beer Suika Wheat. Brewed with about 220 kg of watermelon puree per batch, it is offered alongside a 20-tap lineup and stone-oven food.
Hop BroMugi, I need to tell you about Suika Wheat at Sankt Gallen TAP ROOM in Hon-Atsugi.
MugiWait, a beer with watermelon in the name? That sounds like summer homework I actually want to do!
Hop BroIt starts as a wheat ale, and they use about 220 kilograms of watermelon puree in one batch, so it comes off super juicy.
MugiWhat is that? Wheat ale sounds like beer trying to cosplay as a bakery!
Hop BroBasically, it's an ale brewed with wheat, so the texture gets softer and fluffier instead of sharp and heavy.
MugiAnd it's not just watermelon? Pink dragon fruit is in there too? This beer is dressed louder than I am!
Hop BroExactly, and the brewery-run pub right by Hon-Atsugi Station has 20 taps on deck, with fresh beer sent straight from the brewery.
MugiThat is dangerous information. If YOKOHAMA XPA and Shonan Gold and Pineapple Ale are all lined up, my self-control is finished.
Hop BroYou can do tasting flights, pair it with pizza or ajillo or chicken, and even grab crowlers to go, so they've covered every angle.
MugiNear the station, summer-only, and on draft? Straight to Hon-Atsugi it is!
Hop BroI’m in. On July 27, Watermelon Day, drinking this on draft feels almost suspiciously correct.
MugiThen it's settled. Give me a summer fruit beer and a pizza, and I'll happily spend the night asking how many actual watermelons 220 kilos is!
A summer glass on draft
To match Watermelon Day on July 27, Sankt Gallen TAP ROOM is highlighting its draft-only fruit beer, Suika Wheat. The beer is based on a wheat ale made with wheat malt, and each batch uses about 220 kg of watermelon puree. Pink dragon fruit is added as well, giving the beer a vivid look and a refreshing summer profile.
Located just outside Hon-Atsugi Station's north exit, the shop is Sankt Gallen's directly operated beer pub. Its key appeal is a 20-tap lineup of freshly delivered beer straight from the brewery. Along with Suika Wheat, the taproom also offers Sankt Gallen favorites such as YOKOHAMA XPA, Shonan Gold, and Pineapple Ale, making it a strong stop for fans who want to compare styles and flavors.
Food is centered on beer-friendly dishes such as stone-oven pizza, ajillo, and chicken. With regular, half, tasting flights, and crawler takeaway available, guests can choose between drinking in the pub or taking beer home. It is an easy place to enjoy a seasonal fruit beer in a relaxed, station-adjacent setting.
