Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis in Nakameguro taps Hoya Friends Beer summer lager
Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis in Nakameguro announced on its July 15 Instagram post that it had received Hoya Friends Beer’s summer-only lager, "Hoya Boya’s Summer Vacation," along with guest beers from CRAFTROCK Brewing, Streetlight Brewing, and Kyoto Brewing. It is a fitting summer lineup for the bar’s casual standing-drink setup.
Hop BroNakameguro just got more tempting: Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis tapped Hoyaboya no Natsuyasumi for summer.
MugiWhat, that name is way too cute! Just hearing summer-only lager already makes me feel cooler.
Hop BroAnd it’s from Hoya Friends Beer: a Salted Lime Lager at 5.0% ABV with medium-low bitterness.
MugiSalted... lime... lager? You mean beer with salt? Is this a beach snack in pint form!?
Hop BroPretty much. It layers lime aroma, bright acidity, and a soft salt note so it feels perfect for hot days.
MugiOh wow! I want that right after a sweaty walk. The whole while supplies last thing is really pressuring me, though!
Hop Brooasis also stacked the guest taps. CRAFTROCK Brewing’s Drink All Day is a Kolsch with a clean finish and a gently fruity yeast aroma.
MugiHold on, what does Kolsch-like even mean? My beer test scores just dropped.
Hop BroIn plain terms, it’s light and crisp like a lager, but with a soft ale-like aroma. Then Streetlight Brewing’s Lai Lai Lychee brings lychee and oolong tea, and Kyoto Brewing’s Tokimeki Netsushisen is a Tropical IPA with coconut-and-pineapple style hop notes.
MugiThat lineup is ridiculous! If it’s standing-room with food, this is a before-and-during dinner kind of night.
Hop BroExactly. From salt-and-lime freshness to fruit, tea, and tropical hops, I’m already thinking first pint is decided.
MugiAnd after that I’m chasing the lychee one and the IPA too. I want to head to Nakameguro right now and work through the whole summer tap list!
Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis, a beer pub in Nakameguro at 2-13-6 Kamimeguro, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, posted new tap information on Instagram on July 15. The bar is known for its easygoing standing-drink style and for serving food alongside beer, making it a practical stop for both a quick pint and a meal.
The highlight this time is Hoya Friends Beer’s seasonal release, `Hoya Boya’s Summer Vacation`. The post lists it as a Salted Lime Lager at 5.0% ABV with medium-low bitterness. Lime aroma, refreshing acidity, and a light salty note define the beer, which is positioned as a limited release that will be sold until it runs out.
The post also introduced three additional guest beers:
- `CRAFTROCK Brewing` "Drink All Day" is a Kölsch with a clean finish and a lightly fruity note from the yeast.
- `Streetlight Brewing` "Lai Lai Lychee" combines lychee and oolong tea, bringing together fruitiness and tea-driven nuance.
- `Kyoto Brewing` "Tokimeki Netsushisen" is a tropical IPA with coconut- and pineapple-like hop character and a bright summer profile.
oasis is the kind of place where you can follow the tap rotation while also thinking about food pairings. This lineup covers a wide range, from a crisp Kölsch to a fruit-forward collaboration beer, a hop-driven tropical IPA, and a salted lime lager. For beer drinkers looking for a flexible summer stop in Nakameguro, it is a well-balanced set of options.
