Yellow Monkey Brewing revises taproom operations for July, with four weekly beer releases
Yellow Monkey Brewing in Nakagawa, Yokohama, will update its taproom operations from July. The brewery is returning to a Tuesday-Wednesday weekly closure and will roll out four new beers across the month, starting with TSUZUKI on July 4.
Hop BroYellow Monkey Brewing in Yokohama is dropping four new beers weekly in July. They are also changing operations, so the whole taproom vibe could shift quite a bit.
MugiWhat?! Every week? That is already a full-time chase! And what does operational changes even mean here?
Hop BroThey are going back to closed days on Tuesday and Wednesday, pausing weekend morning service for now, and switching to an 11 a.m. opening with more focus on lunch and dinner.
MugiOoh! So morning beer takes a break, but if the food gets better too, this could become day-drinking heaven!
Hop BroYMB is built around connecting people through beer and sports, and they want the place to feel like a living brewery. You can see they want more time for brewing and product development.
MugiA living brewery? What is that supposed to mean, the tanks start giving speeches? That wording is intense!
Hop BroIf the tanks start talking, we have bigger problems. It just means the place keeps evolving based on what happens on-site, like a community hub instead of a static bar.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! The first release is TSUZUKI on July 4, right? The name already feels super local.
Hop BroThen on July 12 comes Barrel Aged Imperial IPA. Barrel aging adds depth, imperial means a stronger beer, and IPA is a style where hops really take center stage.
MugiThat was a three-stage info rocket! So basically it is a barrel-born hop bomb? Even the name sounds powerful!
Hop BroExactly. Then HOMARE lands on July 18, ChaChaCha on July 25, and July 11 is private so that is the one date to watch. With a lineup like this, I want to taste them all.
MugiSame here! I want to go for lunch and work through every new release in order. This month, it has to be a taproom toast!
July brings a revised taproom schedule and weekly beer releases
Yellow Monkey Brewing, which operates in Nakagawa, Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama, says it will update its taproom operations from July. The brewery will return to a two-day weekly closure on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, pause weekend morning service for now, and switch opening time to 11:00. The goal is to devote more time to brewing, product development, and making the taproom a stronger food-and-beer destination.
The company frames its mission as connecting people through beer and sports, and describes its brewery as a living brewery where people can drop in and feel the energy. This latest operational reset fits that approach: more time behind the scenes, and a more deliberate experience in the taproom itself.
At the same time, July will bring a steady run of new releases:
- Sat, July 4: TSUZUKI
- Sun, July 12: Barrel Aged Imperial IPA
- Sat, July 18: HOMARE
- Sat, July 25: ChaChaCha
The post also notes that Saturday, July 11 will be a private booking day, with no regular service. For YMB, July looks set to be a month of both operational tuning and frequent fresh pours.
