Tap Board Lineup


On the updated "ON TAP TODAY" at Chigasaki's beer pub HOP MAN, styles range from pilsners and dark lagers to saisons, IPAs, and stouts. The lineup includes Shonan Beer's "Pilsner Flash-Chill Server ver," Passific Brewing's "Zwickle Pils," and Kakegawa Beer's "8Bit Dark Lager," "This is White," "Dank Hop IPA," and "Downtown IPA," all selected with both drinkability and individuality in mind.

Notable Beers


Among the saison offerings, Noroshi Brewing's "Noroshi DH RYE Saison" and Shiga Kogen Beer's "Indian Summer Saison" stand out. For something leaning sour, Shonan Beer's "SAKURA GOSE," Kakegawa Beer's "Deadman's Galaxy Ale ~Guava Wheat~," and "Yuzu Saison" catch the eye. The IPA selection is broad as well, from karuizawa Q's "Kaze Toori" to Noboribetsu Jibeer Onidensetsu's "Shin Asaki Oni IPA," Minoh Beer's "Osaru IPA," Repubrew's "HEARTS UP! IPA 60 / Hazy IPA," and Ise Kadoya Brewery's "Hat Trick TDH Hazy IPA."

The Appeal of the Shop


The in-store BOTTLE SHOP also sells beers to take home, making it easy to pick up a bottle of whatever catches your attention, which feels very HOP MAN. From GORA BREWERY's "THE STACK" to Y. MARKET BREWING's "12 DA CAPO" and "Decorian," Nara Brewing's "UNDERWATER," and Hideji Beer Miyazaki's "Stout," the tap list lets you see what Japanese breweries are doing right now all at once.

Elsewhere on the list are Daisen G Beer's "Ginyu Bakato," Musashi Beer's "MUGICHA Bitter," Swan Lake Beer's "Amber Swan Ale," Faló Brewing's "Ice" and "CHONK," Kakegawa Beer's "Kakegawa Tea Ale," "Hojicha Ale," and "Forever Love," karuizawa Q's "Under the Light," Mojiko Beer's "Weizen," Shiga Kogen Beer's "Miyama Blonde," and Ushitora's "#971 Lychee-n-Gale," creating a selection that ranges from easygoing pints to beers you will want to sip slowly.
