Craftbeer Sloth House Opens Shiga Kogen Beer "Snow Monkey IPA 2026" on Sunday
Craftbeer Sloth House/Sloth House in Taramachi, Kohoku Ward, Yokohama City, is introducing a new tap from Shiga Kogen Beer: "Snow Monkey IPA 2026 Silver Label ver." In addition to six taps, the bar also offers bottle sales and allows outside food and drinks brought in.
Hop BroThe Sunday service at Sloth House in Taramachi, Kohoku Ward, Yokohama, is the star of the show today. It runs from 12:00 to 20:00, and what’s great is that you can drop in for one casual drink or settle in for a long session.
MugiWhoa! Being able to drink on a Sunday is a lifesaver! And they even allow outside food? Is it really okay to be that free!?
Hop BroIt is, and the new tap this time is Snow Monkey IPA 2026. It’s the kind of beer Shiga Kogen Beer is known for, one that comes in swinging.
MugiWhat is that! Hazy IPA sounds fuzzy just from the name, but what does light haze actually mean?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it means they don’t filter it too cleanly, leaving a bit of haze behind so the hop aroma comes forward. The nice part is the grapefruit-like citrus layered with lychee and even white peach notes.
MugiWow, a fruit paradise! But can it really have both sweetness and dryness at the same time? That’s so skillful!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting: it’s gentle on the palate, but the finish snaps cleanly. So it doesn’t feel heavy, and it’s designed so you’ll want one more sip.
MugiWait, there are six taps!? The range for comparison tasting is so wide it sounds like a party could start just from deciding what to order!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too. From blonde to Hazy, you’ve got from scratch, Miyazaki Mango Lager, Ripplephobia, Full Hop Alchemist r8, and Yuzu My Darling, all with completely different personalities.
MugiWow, that sounds fun just from the names! And with bottle sales too, you can drink there, take one home, and keep enjoying the afterglow at home.
Hop BroExactly. In a calm little beer pub in Taramachi, the taps change and the whole character of the place changes with them. Today, this is definitely the kind of spot where you only meant to have one drink and things get dangerous.
MugiOh no, that is absolutely going to happen! Then I’ll start with the Snow Monkey IPA, and before I know it, I’ll be asking for one more!
