Hop BroBig topic today: the 15th anniversary festival. Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front is closed on August 8 and 9, and the celebration happens in Yoshidamachi on August 8.
MugiWait, the shop is closed but the party is on? That is exactly how someone ends up stranded at Yokohama Station!
Hop BroExactly. The venue is Kannai Yoshidamachi Main Street, and it runs from 4 to 9 PM. They are also selling same-day tickets, so even late planners can jump in.
MugiWhoa, did I hear five hours unlimited correctly, or are my ears just beer-optimized? And what are we drinking?
Hop BroYour ears are fine. It is 3,900 yen in advance or 4,400 yen at the door, and you get Yokohama Bay Brewing craft beer and craft gin at the town-wide beer garden.
MugiNo way! Bay Pilsner sounds cute, but what even is a pilsner?
Hop BroGreat question. A pilsner is a bottom-fermented lager, which sounds a bit textbook, but the simple version is a crisp clean finish that goes down very easily.
MugiOhh! If they pour super fresh draft like that, I might clap after the first sip. And the Yokohama Front shop is usually open straight through, right?
Hop BroYep. It is on the second floor of THE YOKOHAMA FRONT, five minutes from JR Yokohama Station, and normally runs 11:30 to 23:00 with no idle hours at all.
MugiThat is strong! An all-day beer spot is already impressive, and now they are throwing a 15th anniversary event too? This place has more stamina than I do.
Hop BroThat is the move. Enjoy the event first, then head back after reopening for the signature pint at Yokohama Front. That is the ideal Yokohama craft beer route.
MugiI am fully in ready to toast now mode. A 15th anniversary, Yoshidamachi energy, and fresh Yokohama Bay Brewing beer? I really want a glass.
