KEG NAGOYA in Higashisakura, Nagoya has added two new Y.MARKET BREWING beers to the taps. The guest lineup also includes beers from Hansharo, Brimmer, Swan Lake, CHORYO, Yokohama Bay Brewing, Minoh, Baird, and Shiga Kogen.
Hop BroKEG NAGOYA in Nagoya has two new Y.MARKET beers on tap right now. Purple Jet Sky and Jacaranda just landed, and the domestic draft lineup got a big refresh too.
MugiWhat, both new releases at once? That already sounds like a festival. What kind of beers are they?
Hop BroPurple Jet Sky is an American Pale Ale with bright hop aroma and an easy-drinking feel. Jacaranda is a Summer IPA, the kind of beer that feels made for hot weather.
MugiWait, the article mentioned a clear drinking profile. What does that even mean? Did this beer just enroll in art school?
Hop BroIt means the flavor progression is easy to follow. You get the aroma first, then the bitterness, then the finish, all in a clean sequence.
MugiOhhh, so that makes it a great first pint even for newer craft beer drinkers. My first-sip radar is fully activated.
Hop BroExactly, and the rest is stacked too: Hansharo, Brimmer Porter, Minoh Weizen, plus Baird and Shiga Kogen, so it's ridiculously broad coverage from crisp to dark.
MugiHold on, Choryu's IBUKI IPL... what even is IPL? If that's a spell, I'm learning it after one more beer.
Hop BroIPL means India Pale Lager. Think lager crispness with IPA-style hop character, so you get brightness and aroma in the same glass.
MugiAnd KEG NAGOYA has house-made Chinese food, plus it's easy for daytime or solo drinking? I want to go now, and Jacaranda is already calling my name.
Hop BroThen that's settled. While those taps last, I'm ordering Purple Jet Sky, you're getting Jacaranda, and we're adding some food and calling it a win.
KEG NAGOYA posted a tap update on Instagram. The headline additions are two new Y.MARKET BREWING beers: "Purple Jet Sky (American Pale Ale)" and "Jacaranda (Summer IPA)." They fit the pub's draft-focused approach well, with clear, easy-to-read flavors.
The post also lists Hansharo Beer Brewing's "Tarozaemon" and Brimmer Brewing's "Brimmer Porter." Several beers are marked as nearly sold out: Swan Lake's "Koshikari Lager," CHORYO's "IBUKI IPL," Yokohama Bay Brewing's "Weekend Journey," Minoh Beer's "Weizen," Baird Beer's "Suruga Bay Imperial IPA," and Shiga Kogen Beer's "Kind of Gold."
Taken together, the lineup spans a wide range of beer styles, from pale ale and summer IPA to porter, weizen, IPL, and imperial IPA. That gives both hop-driven beer drinkers and fans of maltier, darker beers something to look for.
KEG NAGOYA is a beer pub in Higashisakura, Nagoya, and its appeal is straightforward: fresh draft craft beer paired with house-made Chinese dishes. It is the kind of place where the tap list changes often enough to keep regulars checking back, while still feeling relaxed enough for a daytime beer or a solo visit. If one of these beers catches your eye, it is worth stopping by while it is still on tap.
