craft beer BLUE adds three new taps led by KaruizawaQ’s Siesta
craft beer BLUE, a beer pub in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, announced three new taps in a July 28 post. The lineup adds KaruizawaQ, Repubrew, and OUR BREWING, bringing the bar’s total draft selection to eight beers.
Hop BroSagamihara's craft beer BLUE just tapped three fresh pours today. KaruizawaQ's Siesta, Repubrew's COASTAL CRUSH HAZY IPA, and OUR BREWING's Drop all joined the board.
MugiWait, and that's an eight-tap lineup now? I'd freeze in front of the menu and age there like a barrel!
Hop BroSiesta is a Mexican Lager w/Lime & Sudachi, so it brings lime zest, sudachi juice, and a super easy summer drinkability.
MugiWhat is that, a citrus vacation in a glass? That sounds dangerously crushable.
Hop BroThen COASTAL CRUSH HAZY IPA comes in with layered fruit aroma like peach, mango, mandarin, and apricot stacked on top of each other.
MugiHold on, what does hazy mean? My beer knowledge just walked straight into fog.
Hop BroA Hazy IPA is basically a cloudy-style IPA with a softer feel, where juicy aroma is easier to notice than sharp bitterness.
MugiOkay, that helps. But Drop mentions what is dankness? That sounds like the beer fell into a forest.
Hop BroHonestly, not far off. Dankness is that deep green aroma that's herbal, resinous, and a little wild; Drop mixes that with pineapple, orange, and berry notes in a Juicy IPA, while still looking pretty clear.
MugiSo from crisp Siesta to punchy IPA, that's wild range in one stop. This is not a menu, this is a strategy game.
Hop BroExactly, and the rest of the taps cover sour, saison, pale ale, YUZU PEACH NE IPA, and even coffee porter, so after-work beer mission feels very real starting from 5 p.m.
MugiThen it's settled, we're doing a full tasting route. I want Siesta first and probably no self-control after that.
craft beer BLUE, a beer pub on the second floor in Sagami-cho, Sagamihara, Kanagawa, announced three new draft openings in a July 28 post. The newly tapped beers are KaruizawaQ’s "Siesta", Repubrew’s "COASTAL CRUSH HAZY IPA", and OUR BREWING’s "Drop". The bar listed eight beers on tap in total, offering a broad range of styles at once.
KaruizawaQ’s "Siesta" is a Mexican Lager w/Lime & Sudachi. Built with lime peel and sudachi juice, it is described as a refreshing lager with citrus aromatics and a clean, lively tartness. It is the kind of beer that should work well in warm weather without feeling heavy.
Repubrew’s "COASTAL CRUSH HAZY IPA" is presented as a fruit-forward Hazy IPA with notes reminiscent of peach, mango, mandarin, and apricot. It keeps the soft, fuller body expected from the style while leaning into layered fruit character and bright hop expression.
OUR BREWING’s "Drop" is a Juicy IPA. Its description points to pineapple and orange, along with a dank, plant-like edge and berry-like impressions, making it a beer with both vivid aroma and a clear-looking pour.
The rest of the tap list includes Bighand Bros.Beer’s "Carnelian" Fruited Sour Ale w/Apricot, 3TREE BREWERY’s "Malcove" Saison, FARMENTRY’s "Tiny" Nano Pale Ale, AFURI BREWING’s "YUZU PEACH NE IPA", and Pekora Beer’s "Black Sheep" Coffee Porter. From sour to saison, pale ale, IPA, and coffee porter, the lineup covers a wide range of tastes and makes the bar easy to browse by mood. The post also notes service from 17:00, which gives local drinkers a clear window to drop in and follow the tap changes.
