craft beer BLUE taps FARMENTRY's YAYOI IPA and Ujoten Brewing's BUDDY
Sagamihara's beer pub craft beer BLUE announced a tap update on July 18, adding FARMENTRY's YAYOI IPA and Ujoten Brewing's BUDDY. The board featured eight beers in total, ranging from gose to stout.
Hop BroUp on the second floor in Sagamidai, craft beer BLUE has two fresh taps to talk about. In the July 18 update, FARMENTRY's 'YAYOI IPA' and Uchoten Brewing's 'BUDDY' both went on.
MugiWhat! A double feature already? I want to try both just from the names.
Hop BroFirst, 'YAYOI IPA' is a Juicy IPA with mango, pineapple, and stone-fruit aromatics, but the mouthfeel stays smooth and never gets too heavy.
MugiHold on, stone fruit aroma? That does not mean actual rocks in the beer, right? My teeth are suddenly nervous.
Hop BroNo rocks, relax. Peach-and-apricot vibes is the easy version. It means fruits with hard pits, and that helps explain the soft, lush hop character.
MugiOkay, I'm listening. Then what is 'BUDDY'? Czech Premium Pale Lager sounds like a spell a brewer casts at midnight.
Hop Bro'BUDDY' uses Czech malt and hops, so you get solid malt depth, herbal and floral aroma, and a crisp bitterness that keeps the finish light and clean.
MugiHerbal, floral, crisp... that's a busy little lager. So it drinks easily, but still has plenty going on?
Hop BroExactly. The board also has eight taps total, running from gose to stout, and Latticework BREWING's '19 Blues' is already listed as low, so that one deserves an early order.
MugiThat is excellent. A gose-to-stout lineup in one place sounds fun before I even order anything, and dangerous for my wallet.
Hop BroAnd since Saturday service starts at 15:00, you can go IPA to stout at a nice pace. I can already see the move: start bright with 'YAYOI IPA,' then reset with 'BUDDY.'
MugiThat's settled then. I want both right now: 'YAYOI IPA' for the tropical burst, then 'BUDDY' for that crisp snap-back finish.
