Hop Brocraft beer BLUE in Sagamihara just tapped Totopia Brewery’s Mailphobia today. It’s the headline pour in a lineup of eight beers on tap.
MugiWait, Mailphobia means fear of email? That name sounds less like beer and more like my unread inbox. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a West Coast Lager. You get crisp lager drinkability layered with grapefruit-like freshness and a bold dank character, so it stays dry but still has depth.
MugiHold on, what is dankness!? That better not mean my beer tastes like an old basement.
Hop BroImportant distinction. Hop-driven aroma is what we mean here, like resin, green notes, and a punchy aromatic edge. Basically, fresh on the front, wild underneath.
MugiOooh, so it has a golden hazy look, smells bright, and then sneaks in with attitude. That’s a dangerous personality for a beer.
Hop BroAnd craft beer BLUE is offering eight taps to compare. There’s Sour IPA, Saison, Session IPA, West Coast IPA, Juicy IPA, Hazy IPA, and even Citrus Stout, all from Japanese breweries.
MugiWhat is this, a beer amusement park? I could start with Mailphobia, then wander into NEKOBEER’s Sour IPA and finish with GROUNDTAP’s CITRUS STOUT.
Hop BroThat route makes sense. Also, U.B.P BREWERY’s Get Goal! is a low-stock Hazy IPA, so hesitation could cost you a pint.
MugiStarting at 3 p.m. means day drinking begins early, which feels extremely efficient and only slightly suspicious.
Hop BroWhat I like is how the pub shows the shape of what’s pouring now instead of overhyping everything. Following tap updates like this is half the fun.
MugiThen it’s settled: Mailphobia first, then a little tap-hopping to choose the perfect first pint of the weekend. Honestly, my throat feels ready already.
