15brewery in Hayama offers five beers for takeaway, led by Numa no Soko and Raw Hazy IPA
15brewery in Hayama, Kanagawa is pouring five beers on July 4, with bottle-filling takeaway only. The lineup ranges from the Belgian-style Numa no Soko to Stout, Raw Red Ale, Dotanba Ale, and Raw Hazy IPA.
Hop BroThis one from Hayama caught my eye: 15brewery by-the-weight sales. On July 4, from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m., they are filling five beers to the brim in any sealed container you bring.
MugiWait, bring-your-own container beer? That sounds like a field trip for serious drinkers. Would I get scolded for showing up with a random bottle?
Hop BroA carbonated PET bottle or a screw-cap glass bottle should work. And bottled beer is sold out, so this time your container is basically the star of the show.
MugiWhoa, okay, then the lineup really matters. What are the five beers on tap?
Hop BroThe standout is Numa no Soko Belgian-style beer. It uses extra wheat malt, plus orange peel, coriander, chamomile, clove, and even lime from Owase and honey from Nagai.
MugiThat is a lot going on! It sounds like a traffic jam of aromas. What does it actually drink like, though? A flower shop and a fruit stand clinking glasses together?
Hop BroHonestly, that is not far off. It has a little sweetness and acidity, then a spicy finish drifts in afterward. And the stout is deep, rich, and properly black, so the range is wide.
MugiWhat is that! But the article also mentioned the Raw Ale method. That name sounds like a brewing technique and a boss fight at the same time.
Hop BroIt means they do not boil the wort, which lets the malt character come forward more directly. Raw Red Ale leans dense and malty, while Raw Hazy IPA brings citrus and pine aromas with a measured bitterness.
MugiSo even the two Raw beers have totally different personalities. And Hayama's Dotanba Ale uses summer mikan and even some baguette from Mitsumugi? That is serious local teamwork.
Hop BroThat is exactly what feels so 15brewery. Even with standing drinking paused, they still make the urge to compare pours hit hard by combining local ingredients with their own brewing style.
MugiDecision made. I am starting with Dotanba Ale, and you are obviously going for Numa no Soko and Raw Hazy IPA. Containers ready for Hayama because now I absolutely need a drink.
15brewery (Fifteen Brewery) in Hayama is currently operating as a takeaway-only brewery, with standing service suspended. For July 4, the tap list runs from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and customers can fill sealed bottles, PET bottles, or screw-cap glass bottles to the top. Bottle-conditioned beer is out of stock.
Five beers were listed for the day, each with a clear style and profile. Numa no Soko is a Belgian-style beer brewed with a high proportion of wheat malt, orange peel, coriander seed, chamomile, clove, lime from Owase in Mie, and honey from Hachigoya in Nagai, Yokosuka. The result is lightly sweet and tart, with layered spice and aroma.
The dark-beer slot is Stout, described as deep in character and pitch-black in appearance. Raw Red Ale uses a Raw Ale method that does not boil the wort, aiming to preserve a heavier, richer malt flavor and aroma. Dotanba Ale (Summer Orange Ale) uses local Hayama summer oranges from Royal Fruit and offers a bright, refreshing finish. The post also notes that part of the ingredients includes baguette from Miura Pan-ya Mitsumugi.
The IPA is Raw Hazy IPA, another Raw Ale beer with citrus- and pine-like hop aromas and a modest bitterness. It also uses Mitsumugi baguette. The lineup reflects a brewery that leans into local ingredients and a distinctive brewing approach, making it a strong takeaway-only stop for beer fans in Hayama.
