Two beers tapped at craft beer BLUE in Sagamidai, with a limited DDH and sour arriving
The beer pub "craft beer BLUE" in Minami Ward, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, announced on March 20, 2026: "We’re tapping two beers today!" A sour ale from BREWMIN’ and Shared Brewery’s 8th-anniversary DDH Double Hazy IPA were newly added, bringing the day’s tap list to a total of eight beers.
Hop BroWhat’s hot about craft beer BLUE in Sagamidai is that they’re tapping two beers at once. And a sour plus a limited hazy is a really clean contrast in direction.
MugiWait, what? Two at once!? A sour and a hazy are totally different kinds of flavors, right?
Hop BroExactly. The first one is BREWMIN’'s Sour no Uwasa. It’s a Sour Ale with a light body, so it goes down easily, and the pleasant acidity makes it an approachable entry point.
MugiLight body means, uh, easy to drink and not heavy? The way beer people say things is kind of unfair!
Hop BroThat’s right. It means it doesn’t feel too heavy on the palate, so it’s really friendly as a starter sour. It’s not overly sour, but it still gives you that little “oh!” moment.
MugiOhhh! So the next one is more flashy, right? DDH Double HAZY TROPICS sounds hot just from the name!
Hop BroYeah. It’s a limited 8th-anniversary release from Shared Brewery with 1.5 times the usual dry-hop amount. DDH is a method that doubles up on hops to push the aroma forward, and the oats add a rich, creamy texture too.
MugiWait, does dry-hopping mean drying the hops? Beer world explanations alone are making me thirsty!
Hop BroNo, it means adding hops after fermentation to layer in aroma. So this one’s all about juicy aroma and a full, plush mouthfeel.
MugiI see~! And with eight taps total on the same day, you can travel from lager all the way to stout.
Hop BroAnd with TROPICAL PEAK, AFURI, GANGI, Repubrew, and Nomodachi on the board too, today is basically paradise for comparison tasting. On days like this, I can’t help wanting a glass myself while I’m still explaining it.
MugiExactly! I want to go right now and experience a place where you can choose by mood! I want to start from sour and work my way to hazy!
The craft beer BLUE located on the 2nd floor of Garden Building II in Sagamidai, Minami Ward, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, announced in a March 20, 2026 post that it would be opening two guest beers. This time’s featured pair is a stark contrast: a sour designed for easy drinking, and a commemorative hazy beer that leans hard into hop character.
The two beers tapped that day were:
- BREWMIN’ "Sour no Uwasa" Sour Ale (Toyama)
- Shared Brewery "DDH Double HAZY TROPICS" DDH Double Hazy IPA (Tokyo)
In the post, "Sour no Uwasa" was introduced as an "entry-level sour ale" with a light body, brisk drinkability, and a pleasant acidity. Meanwhile, "DDH Double HAZY TROPICS" stands out for its juicy character from the DDH process, the rich mouthfeel contributed by oats, and a special 8th-anniversary specification from Shared Brewery featuring 1.5 times the usual dry-hop amount compared with a standard hazy.
The tap list on the day consisted of the following eight beers, offering a wide range from lager to stout.
1. Shared Brewery "TROPICAL PEAK" Hoppy Lager (running low)
2. BREWMIN’ "Sour no Uwasa" Sour Ale
3. Shared Brewery "DDH Double HAZY TROPICS" DDH Double Hazy IPA
4. NOMCRAFT Brewing "Island Grove" Okinawa Mango Ale (running low)
5. AFURI BREWING "THE PIONEERS" Yuzu Pale Ale
6. GANGI BREWING "KLASHER" American IPA
7. Repubrew "POWER HAZY" Hazy IPA
8. Nomodachi Brewing "Ama no Iwato" Chocolate Stout
Built around these two new taps, the lineup makes it easy to compare citrus, tropical, and roasted flavors side by side. True to a beer pub, craft beer BLUE’s appeal is that you can cross styles and choose based on your mood that day.
