Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotuki posts six-tap lineup for August 14 in Yokohama
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotuki, a beer pub in Miyakawacho, Yokohama, shared its tap list for Friday, August 14. The lineup features six beers from Seapine Brewing, Nara Brewing, Hoppukotan Brewing, and Garden Path Fermentation, alongside Chinese-style snacks.
Hop BroToday's topic is Kokoro no Tsuki taps. Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Yokohama's Miyagawacho dropped its August 14 lineup, and I'm already planning my first pint.
MugiWhat! 3 p.m. opening and six kegs? That's way too serious for daytime drinking. I'd lose all self-control immediately!
Hop BroAnd the list is stacked: Seapine Brewing's Blackberry Gose, Nara Brewing's Double Swisher, Hoppokotan Brewery's Pollux, 紅きは酒の咎, and One Lap Behind Yuzu Ver., plus Garden Path Fermentation's Ron's not Bitter. It's a wildly broad lineup.
MugiThat is a lot of information! What even is Gose? The name alone sounds like a final boss.
Hop BroGose is a light style with a little saltiness and acidity, and Blackberry Gose likely layers in berry character too, so it should land as savory-fruity refreshment in the best way.
MugiOh wow! That has perfect summer energy. But Double Swisher sounds like it might punch me in the face a little.
Hop BroThat one feels like the hop showcase slot, the kind of beer where full-on hop aroma does the talking. Just imagining citrusy, bright aromatics is enough to make me grin.
MugiHold on, sudden beer lecture! So that means a flavor led by aroma before you even sip it?
Hop BroExactly, it's fun before it even hits your mouth. And with three beers from Hoppokotan Brewery, the compare-and-contrast angle is really clear, which makes the lineup even better.
MugiThat rules! The Yuzu Ver. is absolutely giving perfect with Chinese snacks energy, and now I'm hearing chili wontons call my name.
Hop BroThat's a fair read. With steamed chicken in green peppercorn sauce, mapo tofu, and Shanghai-style fried noodles, this place really sells the beer-first Chinese pub idea.
MugiI'm done for. I can already see the whole route: start with Blackberry Gose, compare the Hoppokotans, then go back to the food. I want Yokohama now and you definitely want this too, right?
Hop BroObviously. For August 14, first stop in Yokohama feels like an easy call: Kokoro no Tsuki. With that tap list and those food pairings, this is a go-drink-it situation.
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotuki in Yokohama is a beer pub known for pairing craft beer with Chinese-inspired bar food. In its August 14 post, the venue said it would open at 3:00 p.m. that day and introduced a six-beer tap list.
Tap list for August 14

- Hoppukotan Brewing / Pollux
- Hoppukotan Brewing / Akaki wa Sake no Tomogara
- Garden Path Fermentation / Ron's not Bitter
- Hoppukotan Brewing / One Lap Behind Yuzu Ver.
The lineup covers a broad range of styles, from a gose and fruit-driven beer to hop-forward selections. Hoppukotan Brewing appears three times, giving the tap list a clear center of gravity and making it easy to compare different expressions from the same brewery.
The food side also looks built for beer pairing, with dishes such as steamed chicken with green Sichuan pepper sauce, fried eggplant with ginger soy sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style fried noodles, and yodare wontons. It is the kind of place where beer remains the main attraction, while the dishes quietly support the glass in front of you.
