Craft Beer×Mex-Italian CRAFTSMAN in Tsuruyacho, Yokohama, has updated its latest tap list. In the in-store display image, it is advertised as "31 Beers on Tap!!" and draft beer starts from Regular 400 ml for 620 yen. Centering craft beer while pairing it with Mex-Italian dishes is what gives this place its identity.

A Lineup That Catches the Eye


In the green "LOCAL BEERS" section, Yuzu Weiss, Steel Soul Fixie IPA, SanktGallen Shonan Gold, and SHONAN BEER IPA VISTA are listed. In the Pale Ale/Amber Ale section, Oni Densetsu's "Kinoni Pale Ale ADHA-1631 single ver" and Keika Brewing's "keika" appear. The IPA section is especially extensive, with Yokohama Bay Brewing's Steel Soul Fixie IPA, ISEKADOYA's Electro Squash Sour IPA, Coedo Brewery's Iroha, Revo Brewing's sunnyside Hazy IPA, SanktGallen's Father's day IPA, Black Tide Brewing×HOP KOTAN BREWING's Juicy Pink, Black Tide Brewing's Second Breath, and even BREWDOG's ELVISJUICE confirmed on the list.

A Format That Shows How the Place Is Used


What stands out about this shop is that it balances the density of a craft-beer specialist with the broad range of food that comes from combining Mexican and Italian cuisine. It makes it easy to start with a hop-forward IPA and then move on to fruit beers, sours, and Belgian styles, and the pairing possibilities with pizza, pasta, and spicy snacks are easy to imagine. For anyone in Yokohama who wants to keep up with what's currently on tap, this is a place worth checking out.
