Sakura Taps in Yokohama taps Grandline Brewing's Very Very Berry
Sakura Taps, a beer pub in Hanasaki-cho, Yokohama, has tapped Grandline Brewing's fruited sour ale, Very Very Berry. The beer is built with blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, and blueberry, making it a fitting pick for a humid summer day.
Hop BroToday’s headline is VERY VERY BERRY on tap at Yokohama’s Sakura Taps. It’s a fruited sour ale from Grandline Brewing, and it sounds perfect for summer.
MugiWait, four kinds of berries? That sounds less like beer and more like drinkable jam! Blackberries, raspberries, cranberries, and blueberries is a lot!
Hop BroThat’s exactly why it works. The style is Fruited Sour Ale, so it layers berry aroma and acidity while still keeping some drinking weight.
MugiHold on, what does keeping drinking weight even mean? Did this beer secretly start a gym program?
Hop BroNot quite. That just means mouthfeel, and this one is not too light and not too heavy. It sounds ideal for humid summer weather.
MugiOooh, and this came from that anniversary keg at Bay Brewing’s 15th celebration, right? That suddenly makes it feel super rare!
Hop BroExactly. Sakura Taps only got a small share, so it’s already running pretty low. Beers like this vanish fast if you hesitate.
MugiWhoa, so this is a check it early kind of beer! A Monday night dash to Yokohama is now on the table!
Hop BroAnd Sakura Taps is a calm beer pub on the second floor off Noraneko Street in Yoshidamachi, with food and music too. It’s the kind of place where one pint gets your full attention.
Hop BroTalking about it this long gave me summer in my mouth already. At this point, I need to verify it by drinking one.
MugiThen it’s settled! Tonight is VERY VERY BERRY first. Hop bro, let’s head to Sakura Taps and refill our berry levels!
