Hop BroAt THE BLISS BREWERY & DINING in Yokohama, news has come out about the tapping of "Prologue", a collaboration with TAF Brewing.
MugiWhoa! Just the fact that it's a collaboration gets me excited! What style of beer is it?
Hop BroThe specs are ABV 4.0% / IPA:10, so it's designed to go down light and easy.
MugiWait, what? IPA:10 is like a score or something? Are we starting a test now?
Hop BroBasically, it means the beer is designed to keep bitterness very low, so it's aimed at being easy to drink even for beginners.
MugiOhhh! And that gentle sweetness like sweet chestnuts in the description sounds so interesting!
Hop BroThe mouthfeel is soft thanks to the oats, and since only 40 liters are being served, it's first come, first served.
MugiOnly 40 liters!? I can already see the keg disappearing while I'm still deciding!
Hop BroThe post was made at 12:36 on March 23, 2026, and the name Prologue also carries the idea that conversation starts with the first drink.
MugiThat's perfect. Today's settled already! Let's make Prologue our first drink in Yokohama with food!
THE BLISS BREWERY & DINING in Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture announced the release of a new beer on Instagram. The post was published at March 23, 2026, 12:36. This new release is "Prologue", a collaboration brew with TAF Brewing.
The specs shown in the post are ABV 4.0% / IPA:10. The description highlights a soft mouthfeel derived from oats and a gentle sweetness reminiscent of sweet chestnuts. The name "Prologue" carries the idea that "conversation begins with the first drink, and the story starts moving," suggesting a recipe designed as an introduction to a meal or as the first beer of the day.
Only 40 liters will be served, and the venue is also advising guests to visit early. Because the quantity is clearly stated, those who want to avoid missing it should plan to stop by sooner rather than later.
On its official website, THE BLISS BREWERY promotes itself as a brewery restaurant offering "original craft beer made by a dedicated brewer," with a lineup ranging from regular offerings to seasonal releases. Another defining feature is that it pairs those beers with multinational cuisine at its Kitakaido location in Yokohama. This collaboration can be seen as a release that fits neatly into the restaurant's theme of connecting in-house dining experiences with beer.
As expected of a collaboration category release, this is not just a one-off attention grabber, but a beer that shows how the expression of two breweries is translated into a glass. The approach of aiming for nuanced aroma and flavor at a lighter ABV is also an accessible design for craft beer beginners.
