Two New BLACK TIDE BREWING Beers Arrive at Tsumugi in Minami-Kashiwa
2階のクラフトビール屋つむぎ, a beer pub just a one-minute walk from Minami-Kashiwa Station, announced two new beers from BLACK TIDE BREWING's new brand Hoya Friends Beer. The lineup includes Hoya Boya HAZY PALE ALE and Hoya Boya WHITE ALE.
Hop BroMinami-Kashiwa just got more interesting. Tsumugi, one minute away from the west exit, brought in two beers from BLACK TIDE BREWING's new Hoya Friends Beer line.
MugiWhat, really? Two new releases right by the station sounds dangerous for my wallet. Are they beginner-friendly?
Hop BroThe stars this time are the two Hoya Boya beers: 'Hoya Boya HAZY PALE ALE' is juicy and gentle, while 'Hoya Boya WHITE ALE' is light and easy to pair with food.
MugiHold on, hazy pale ale sounds like a weather report. Why is the beer foggy?
Hop BroFair question. Hazy means cloudy, and it usually comes with a softer texture too. This one keeps bitterness low, so the aroma is easier to catch.
MugiOhhh, so the hazy one has a silky, soft mouthfeel and won't slap bitter-beer beginners in the face?
Hop BroExactly. Then the white ale brings coriander and orange peel, plus fruity notes from the yeast, so it works really well with food.
MugiWhat a combo! Yeast-derived aroma means the beer just decides to smell fruity all by itself?
Hop BroBasically, yes. Yeast creates those aromas during fermentation. And at Tsumugi you can sample before choosing, which is why I'm already craving a side-by-side tasting.
MugiThat settles it. I need that flight right now, and you're absolutely joining my Hoya Boya research session.
At 2階のクラフトビール屋つむぎ, a craft beer pub a minute from Minami-Kashiwa Station, a new arrival notice was posted on July 21. The Instagram post says two beers from BLACK TIDE BREWING's new brand, Hoya Friends Beer, have been added to the lineup. Both beers are built around clear flavor differences and approachable drinking profiles.
The two arrivals
- `Hoya Boya HAZY PALE ALE`
A juicy, gentle hazy-style beer with a silky mouthfeel and restrained bitterness. It is an easy pick for drinkers who are not usually heavy on beer, and it is suited to those who want to focus on aroma and softness first.
- `Hoya Boya WHITE ALE`
A white ale with coriander, orange peel, and yeast-driven fruity aromas. The body is light, and the beer is described as easy to pair with food, making it a relaxed choice for a meal or an informal drink.
Tsumugi positions itself as a specialty shop for domestic craft beer, with eight rotating draft beers and tasting options for guests who want to try before choosing. The atmosphere is bright and casual, and the shop is designed to be welcoming even for solo visitors. For that reason, this pair of arrivals is the kind of lineup that invites side-by-side comparison and easy exploration of different beer styles.
