craft beer BLUE taps FARMENTRY 'Tiny' and AFURI BREWING 'YUZU PEACH NE IPA'
The beer pub craft beer BLUE in Sagamidai, Sagamihara, announced two new taps for July 21: FARMENTRY 'Tiny' and AFURI BREWING 'YUZU PEACH NE IPA'. Service starts at 5 pm, alongside an eight-tap lineup built for easy comparison.
Hop BroAt craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara, the stars today are two fresh taps: FARMENTRY's Tiny and AFURI BREWING's YUZU PEACH NE IPA, pouring from 5 p.m.
MugiWait, two at once? I'm already excited. Tiny sounds adorable, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroTiny is a Nano Pale Ale. It's only 1.5% ABV, but Cascade and Nelson Sauvin still give it real hop character, with citrus and even a white-wine kind of aroma.
MugiWhat even is Nano Pale Ale? I thought that meant a tiny little beer can. My brain made it dollhouse-sized.
Hop BroNot the can size, it's more like low ABV, full flavor. And Nelson Sauvin is a hop that can smell a bit like gooseberry or white grapes.
MugiOhhh, 1.5% with hop punch sounds perfect for a weekday pint. So what about YUZU PEACH NE IPA, because that name already sounds like a fruit parade?
Hop BroThat one is double fruit aroma in the best way. Sweet peach shows up first, then yuzu drifts in, and the soft NE IPA body finishes surprisingly clean.
MugiHold on, NE IPA stuff? You dropped another acronym on me. I got lost somewhere between the N and the E.
Hop BroThink of NE IPA as hazy, juicy IPA and you're close enough. It's softer, not too harshly bitter, and this AFURI one should work really well with food.
MugiThat's dangerous knowledge. With all 8 taps on today, I could start with Tiny, land on YUZU PEACH, and still go wandering after that.
Hop BroExactly, and the side quests are strong too. There's kabosudachi gose, a Czech premium pale lager, saison, DIPA, juicy IPA, even citrus stout. Talking about it is making me want Tiny right now.
MugiThen I'm claiming YUZU PEACH first. A compare-and-drink session on that second floor in Sagamidai sounds extremely necessary.
