Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Honten previews 14-beer lineup before its 15th anniversary fest
On August 7, Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Honten posted an update ahead of its 15th anniversary celebration the next day. The lineup ranges from Bay Pilsner and Yuzu Weiss to Sprint IPA, highlighting the breadth of this brewery-run beer pub.
Hop BroTomorrow is the 15th anniversary festival, and Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Store just posted a 14-beer lineup. The tap list alone makes me want to raise a glass.
MugiWait, fourteen beers on tap? That is not a menu, that is a side quest. My ordering hand is already panicking!
Hop BroAnd it is a real spread too, from Bay Pilsner to Yuzu Weiss, Sprint IPA, and Bay Dark, so you can make a full lap through pilsner, wheat beer, and IPA.
MugiOkay, but what is Weiss? It sounds like something a scientist in a lab coat would hand me!
Hop BroWeiss is a wheat-based white beer, so it usually drinks soft and light. That is why Bay Weiss and Yuzu Weiss both sound dangerously easy to keep sipping.
MugiNo way, Yuzu Weiss sounds exactly like what I would want after a hot day. Citrusy and gentle? I can handle that!
Hop BroThen the awards flex kicks in: World Beer Cup gold for Bay Pilsner, plus Yuzu Weiss with 2024 gold and 2025 silver. Tasting both in one place is pretty wild.
MugiHold on, and Sprint IPA is there too? At this point I should not choose, I should just meet them one by one like a very polite tournament bracket!
Hop BroThat is the right move. Since it is a brewpub serving fresh draft, you get house-made beer right there, and when Pilsner Northern Style joins the list, the tasting comparison practically teaches itself.
MugiAnd they even restocked the 15th anniversary T-shirt in new colors? So this is a drink-it, wear-it, celebrate-it kind of day!
Hop BroExactly. Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Store is the place tomorrow. I would open with Bay Pilsner, cool off with Yuzu Weiss, and finish on the IPA.
MugiSold. I want a glass now, and I kind of want to stare at all 14 taps first like I am studying for the best exam ever!
Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Honten used its August 7 Instagram post to share both operating hours and the beer list for the eve of its 15th anniversary celebration. The venue is the brewery's own beer pub in Fukutomi-cho Higashi-dori, Yokohama, where guests can enjoy freshly poured draft beer on site.
The day's BEER MENU spans 14 taps. It includes the brewery's flagship "Bay Pilsner," plus "Bay Pilsner Haratau Edition," "Tag Lager," "Bay Dark," "Bay Weiss," "Yuzu Weiss," "BAY HELL," "Weekend Journey," "Freestyle," "SARA," "Sprint IPA," and "Steel Soul Fixie," with "Pilsner Northern Style" closing out the list. The selection covers pilsner, lager, dark beer, weiss, and IPA, making it easy to compare the brewery's core styles in one visit.
The post also notes award history for key beers: Bay Pilsner won gold at the 2025 World Beer Cup, while Yuzu Weiss took gold in 2024 and silver in 2025. With 15th-anniversary T-shirts back in stock and a new color added, the pub looks set for a strongly brewery-branded day before the festival itself. For anyone looking to drink through Yokohama Bay Brewing's house range in Kannai, this is a tap list worth watching.
