Hop BroToday I'm introducing Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Branch, a directly operated beer pub in Kannai, Yokohama. It is a pretty dependable place, with 14 kinds of its own brewed draft beer always on tap.
MugiWhoa! 14 kinds of draft beer? With that many, I'd get drunk just choosing! And they make it themselves too? That's amazing!
Hop BroThe star is definitely the Bay Pilsner. It carries the spirit of aiming for the "world's best pilsner," and it's a clean lager that doesn't get tiring even when you drink it with food.
MugiI hear about pilsners a lot, but what's actually different about them? And when you say it doesn't get tiring, does that mean you can keep drinking it forever?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, the charm is in the well-balanced hop aroma and bitterness, and how easily it goes down. That's why Bay Pilsner isn't flashy, but it's strong because it doesn't get in the way of the food.
MugiI see! So what about the other signature beer, Bay Weiss? It sounds gentle just from the name!
Hop BroThat's the nice thing about it. Bay Weiss has a soft mouthfeel and fruitiness, and it's a wheat beer that shows a different side from lager.
MugiSo it's a wheat beer? Is it white-looking, or is it called that because it has a fruity aroma?
Hop BroIt's mainly made with wheat, so it tends to have a cloudy appearance and a gentler mouthfeel. Here, another point is that lager beers are poured with a Czech-made swing tap, while ale beers are poured with American taps, so even the difference in equipment affects the flavor.
MugiWhoa, the taste changes that much depending on how it's poured!? Adjusting the flavor with the equipment is already artisan-level stuff!
Hop BroExactly. And it's easy to get to as well, just a 4-minute walk from JR Kannai Station and 2 minutes from Subway Kannai Station. After work, dropping in for a freshly poured glass is the best part.
MugiAnd if they also have sashimi and sausages, then there's nowhere to run! With food that goes well with beer, I really want to drink in Yokohama right now!
