Hop BroHOP MAN in Chigasaki just tapped KaruizawaQ's "Meguri". It sounds like the kind of beer that pours the whole season into a glass.
MugiWhat! The name already sounds cool! If it was just newly tapped, that means this is exactly the kind of guest beer people rush in for, right?
Hop BroExactly. The style is Yuzu Saison w/Dill, 6.0% ABV, and the nice part is how it layers citrus and herbs without getting heavy.
MugiHold on, what is a saison? You said that way too casually for something that sounds like a special attack.
Hop BroPut simply, saison is a light, food-friendly style. This one has that classic saison lightness, so it feels really easy as a first drink.
MugiWow! But a dry dill finish? What is that? It sounds like somebody's fancy salad just jumped into the beer.
Hop BroHonestly, that's not a bad image. Dill doesn't take over; it slips in behind the yuzu and creates layers of aroma, so it's subtle but memorable.
MugiAnd they used yuzu from a nearby kappo spot, then hand-zested every peel? That's absurdly careful. I want to applaud the brewing process itself.
Hop BroRight, and it doesn't push hard bitterness either. With restrained acidity, it should work really well with lighter dishes as a meal-friendly beer.
MugiHOP MAN is easy to get to from the station, and if they always have a keg you only meet today, then this is officially my excuse to go.
Hop BroThen it's settled. I want to start with a yuzu-scented glass, catch that dill on the finish, and grin at the bar like I planned it all along.
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Jukkenzaka, Chigasaki, has newly tapped KaruizawaQ’s "Meguri." The guest beer is a 6.0% Yuzu Saison w/Dill, brewed with yuzu supplied by nearby Kappo Hikidzuki. According to the post, the peel was hand-zested piece by piece and the juice was also used in the brew, giving the beer a rounded citrus profile with a dry dill finish.
HOP MAN sits on the second floor and is known as a beer pub where the guest tap lineup changes regularly. That makes it a good stop for people who enjoy following draft updates and trying beers that appear for a limited time. In that setting, a saison built around local citrus and herbal accents feels especially natural.
"Meguri" is not the kind of beer that aims to overwhelm with heavy bitterness or loud hop intensity. Instead, it leans into layered aroma and a soft, steady finish. It should work well with lighter dishes, and it also makes sense as a first beer of the day. For anyone tracking guest beers in Chigasaki, this is an easy reason to stop by HOP MAN.
