Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front adds summer shiraae and 17 draft beers
Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front introduced a summer dish, goya and myoga shiraae, on August 18. The dish had sold out quickly last time, so it was prepared again, and it is paired with 17 draft beers at the brewery's direct-run beer pub near Yokohama Station.
Hop BroI want to talk about Yokohama Front today. On August 18 they rolled out a summer dish, "goya and myoga shira-ae," and the real kicker is pairing it with 17 beers on tap.
MugiWhat! Goya and myoga shira-ae sounds way too elegant for a casual beer snack. That is absolutely the kind of dish that makes beer sit up straight.
Hop BroIt sold out fast last time, so they made it again. The nice part is that it's clearly a beer-first side dish built around goya bitterness and that sharp myoga aroma.
MugiOkay, but when I hear 17 beers on tap, my brain just folds up like an overloaded menu. Also, what exactly counts as "on tap" anyway?
Hop Bro"On tap" means fresh draft beer poured from the system, not a can or bottle. And this place is a brewery-run pub, so they can serve their own beer right after brewing.
MugiSo basically, super fresh beer with zero detours. And if it's five minutes from Yokohama Station, even I might make it there before getting distracted.
Hop BroThe range is strong too. You've got lager-side picks like Bay Pilsner, Tag Lager, and Bay Helles, then Sprint IPA, Team Up IPA, and Bay Weiss, so it's really from lagers to IPAs.
MugiHold on, Bay Weiss and Yuzu Weiss? What is "Weiss"? It sounds cute, but also a little like I need a wizard manual.
Hop BroWeiss is a wheat-beer style, so it tends to have a softer texture and more expressive aroma. With yuzu added, you get extra summer freshness, which makes it easy to pair with that shira-ae.
MugiThat actually sounds fun. So a pilsner for the bitterness, a weiss for the aroma, and an IPA when I want to go bigger? The tasting-plan energy is getting out of hand.
Hop BroAnd it's on the second floor of THE YOKOHAMA FRONT, with guest pours like Mojiko Beer's pilsner and Shiga Kogen's pale ale mixed in. Those 17 active taps turn the whole visit into a study session.
MugiAt this point I want to start with shira-ae and Bay Pilsner immediately. Summer in Yokohama with fresh draft beer sounds way too good to ignore.
Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front posted a summer menu item on August 18: goya and myoga shiraae. The brewery said the dish had sold out quickly the last time it was offered, so it was prepared again. The combination of bitter goya and aromatic myoga is clearly designed as a beer-friendly snack.
The venue sits on the 2nd floor of THE YOKOHAMA FRONT, a direct-run beer pub about a five-minute walk from Yokohama Station. One of its main draws is fresh draft beer brewed by Yokohama Bay Brewing itself, served on site. This time, the tap list spans crisp lagers, wheat beers, and hop-forward IPAs.
The lineup included 17 beers:
- Bay Pilsner / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Bay Pilsner Haratau Edition / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Tag Lager / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Bay Hell / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Pilsner Urquell / Pilsner Urquell
- Bay Weiss / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Yuzu Weiss / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Weekend Journey / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Sprint IPA / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Alternative IPA / Craft Rock Brewing
- Pilsner / Moji Port Beer
- Pale Ale / Shiga Kogen Beer
- Team Up IPA / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Steel Soul Fixie / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Baby Climb / Yokohama Bay Brewing
- Smells Like Swan Spirit / Craft Rock x Swan Lake
- Lupulin Nectar / Y Market Brewing
It is the kind of lineup that lets drinkers move from a clean pilsner to a fuller IPA without leaving the same bar. For beer fans in Yokohama, it is an easy stop when looking for fresh house beer and a seasonal snack in one place.
