Kyoto Brewing's "Fruit Life" and Faló Brewing's "STEREO" tapped at Sakura Taps
Yokohama beer pub Sakura Taps updated its business notice for Friday, May 29, and Kyoto Brewing's fruit sour "Fruit Life" and Faló Brewing's IPA "STEREO" were newly tapped. It opens at 15:00 and closes at 23:30, with an eight-tap daily-changing lineup to enjoy.
Hop BroAt Sakura Taps in Yokohama, they've added two new beers on tap today. Kyoto Brewing's "Fruit Life" and Faló Brewing's "STEREO" are a lineup that really hits the spot on a hot day.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Fruit Life sounds delicious, but what kind of beer is it? I already feel like I'm standing in front of the fruit shelf!
Hop BroIt's a fruit sour ale made with plenty of tropical fruit like passion fruit, mango, guava, and banana. It kind of hovers between beer and juice, and it's the sort of beer that's easy to pick for your first pint.
MugiWait, what do you mean by hovering between beer and juice? Isn't that basically impossible to tell apart from a morning smoothie?
Hop BroTo put it simply, it has bright acidity and strong fruit character, so it drinks brightly and approachably. It's not too sweet and stays light, while the refreshing sourness comes forward, so even beer beginners can get into it easily.
MugiI get it! So next is Faló Brewing's STEREO. That name alone makes it sound like it's going to make some noise!
Hop BroYou're not far off. STEREO is an IPA that expresses a single-hop ensemble, and it's a series that focuses on one hop while layering in differences in harvest year, harvest origin, and even form.
MugiA single-hop beer with an ensemble? That is one crowded phrase! But tasting one hop carefully side by side sounds kind of pro and cool!
Hop BroExactly, which is why it's a beer that becomes a benchmark for people who want to follow a hop's character. Once you look at how the aroma comes through and how the bitterness is shaped, even the same IPA can seem completely different.
MugiAnd Sakura Taps has eight rotating taps every day, right? Just deciding what to drink today could take the whole day!
Hop BroAnd the fact that they open at 15:00 means you can take your time choosing until late at night. In a calm interior, with coffee too, starting lightly with Fruit Life and finishing slowly with STEREO is a pretty ideal flow.
MugiAh, now I really want a drink! From tropical acidity to hop character, today I want to work through Sakura Taps in order!
Two new beers tapped at Sakura Taps on May 29
The tap list at Sakura Taps, the beer pub on the second floor of Nora Neko Dori in Yokohama's Yoshida-machi, was updated for Friday, May 29. Hours are 15:00 open, 23:30 close. On this day, two beers well suited to the hot season have been added.
Fruit Life / Kyoto Brewing
"Fruit Life" is a fruit sour ale made with plenty of tropical fruits such as passion fruit, mango, guava, and banana. It has a bright, approachable drinking character that blurs the line between beer and juice, making it an easy choice for your first drink.
STEREO / Faló Brewing
The other is Faló Brewing's IPA "STEREO." This series focuses on a single hop variety and layers differences in harvest year, harvest origin, and format to express a "single-hop ensemble." For those who want to carefully track hop character, it's a beer that can serve as the axis for a side-by-side tasting.
Sakura Taps is a beer pub that offers eight craft beers on tap each day, and the interior has a calm atmosphere. In addition to beer, hand-drip coffee is also available, making it easy to relax and spend time with a meal. This pair offers a contrast between one beer that's light and easygoing with tropical acidity, and another that lets you slowly savor the many expressions of hops. As temperatures rise, it's a lineup you'll want to choose from according to your mood.
