15brewery, a brewery in Horiuchi, Hayama, posted its tap list for Sunday, July 12, from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The operation was takeout-only: no standing drink service, just weighed sales for customers bringing carbonated PET bottles or screw-cap glass bottles.

The day’s lineup featured five beers: the Belgian-style "Numa no Soko," the black beer "Stout," "Raw Red Ale" brewed with a Raw Ale process, the fruit beer "Dotanba Ale (Summer Orange Ale)," and the IPA "Raw Hazy IPA." It is the kind of list that invites small pours and side-by-side tasting.

"Numa no Soko" stands out with a recipe built around plenty of wheat malt, orange peel, coriander seed, chamomile, clove, lime from Owase in Mie, and honey from Hachigoya in Nagai, Yokosuka. The result is slightly sweet, a little tart, and layered with spicy aromatics. "Dotanba Ale (Summer Orange Ale)" uses Hayama royal fruits and baguette from Miura Pan-ya Mugi, while "Raw Hazy IPA" leans into citrus and pine from hops. Together, the tap list shows a clear focus on beers to sip gradually, one small pour at a time.

For drinkers looking for locally rooted beer in Hayama, 15brewery’s approach is straightforward and distinctive: takeout-only, ingredient-driven, and built for careful tasting.
