Hop BroToday's topic is Aelmi on tap. THE BLISS BREWERY & DINING in Yokohama's Kitanakadori just tapped its house-brewed sour IPA.
MugiWait, what is a sour IPA!? Sour and IPA in one glass feels like my brain buffering!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's 3.5% ABV, 1 IBU, super light, with hop aroma but built to drink on acidity instead of bitterness.

Aelmi is now on tap
THE BLISS BREWERY & DINING is a brewery restaurant on the first floor of Notre Dame Yokohama Minatomirai in Naka Ward, Yokohama. The restaurant brews its own original craft beer in-house and serves it alongside dishes designed to pair well with beer.
The beer introduced on Instagram is Aelmi, a sour IPA. It is brewed at 3.5% ABV and 1 IBU, making it a notably light and approachable pour. The brewery describes it as a refreshing beer with acidity reminiscent of lemon-lime soda and gummy candy. The name itself was created to evoke lightness and freshness, so the beer is positioned as a bright, easy-drinking option rather than a hop-forward bitter style.
The brewery’s setting is also part of its appeal: it sits in a restaurant with a view of Yokohama Minatomirai, and the official website says it offers a wide range of beer styles, from regular taps to seasonal releases. Aelmi fits that lineup as a crisp sour option that adds a new accent to the current tap selection.
