Hop Brocraft beer BLUE in Sagamihara has two fresh taps on: AFURI BREWING’s “Yuzu Mexican Lager” is first up.
MugiWait—a yuzu Mexican lager!? That sounds like it wants tacos on the side!
Hop BroIt layers yuzu with lime, lemon, and herbal notes, while keeping bitterness gentle. It’s bright and easy-drinking, you know.
MugiOoh, so it smells lively but is made for easy sipping? Perfect after work!
Hop BroExactly. The other newcomer is Pecora Beer’s “Spiegel,” a second-anniversary IPA.
MugiWhat even is a Modern DDH IPA? That sounds like a finishing move!
Hop BroDDH means dry hopping twice: brewers add hops after fermentation to draw out loads of aroma rather than piling on bitterness.
MugiHops twice!? So Spiegel is basically a second-hop aroma festival!
Hop BroPretty much. Think passion fruit, lemon, and white grape, with a smooth 6.5% body and very little harshness.
MugiStart with the yuzu lager, then Spiegel—a citrus-hop tasting flight! My taste buds are suddenly ready for overtime!
Hop BroAnd the lineup stretches from NAT.BREW’s berry sour to BrewBeast’s espresso stout: styles for every mood.
MugiThen let’s check the current tap list at craft beer BLUE and toast! Yuzu comes first, Hop-bro!
Hop BroDeal—start crisp, linger over IPA, and enjoy the range. Tonight calls for taps!
craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara’s Sagamidai district has announced two new taps.
The first is AFURI BREWING’s Yuzu Mexican Lager. Yuzu leads the aroma, joined by citrus notes reminiscent of lime and lemon and a fresh herbal character. Its bitterness is restrained, making it a bright, light-drinking beer suited to an easy start.
The second is Pecora Beer’s Spiegel, a Modern DDH IPA created to mark the brewery’s second anniversary. Passion fruit, citrus, lemon, and white-grape impressions build a vivid and complex hop profile. Despite its generous hop use, the beer is described as smooth, with restrained harshness and a 6.5% ABV that does not feel overly heavy.
The tap list also includes NAT.BREW’s R&B (Regret & Berry), NOVORU’s Kureru, RIKRI BREWERY’s No Interruption, GROUNDTAP BREWERY’s HIMAWARI, NEKOBEER’s Gekijoban O Neko wa Niga Iyo: Watashi no Aishita Flamingo, and BrewBeast Brewery’s ESPRESSO STOUT. Styles range from Mixed Berry Sour Ale and Amber Ale to American Pale Ale, Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, and Stout.
Located on the second floor of Garden Building II, craft beer BLUE offers a relaxed setting for exploring changing taps. Guests can move from a citrus-forward lager to a hop-focused IPA or finish with a roasty stout. Check the pub’s official channels for the latest availability before visiting.
