Hop BroSakura Taps in Yokohama has two fresh taps today. Brewccoly's Black IPA Back to Black and Noroshi Brewing's Noroshi American Red Ale just came on.
MugiWait, dark but easy-drinking? How does that work? Black IPA sounds like the final boss of bitterness!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. A Black IPA balances roast notes and hop aroma, and Back to Black keeps things dry enough that it goes down surprisingly easily.
MugiWhoa, but a dry finish means what exactly? The beer isn't turning into a desert in the glass, right?
Hop BroNo desert. Here, dry means less lingering sweetness. It doesn't sit heavy on your palate, so your next sip shows up fast.
MugiOkay, then what is the American Red Ale like? That name already feels like sunset in a pint.
Hop BroIt stacks malty red-brown depth with American hop bitterness. You get richness, but it stays built for food instead of becoming too heavy.
MugiThat immediately makes me hungry. And they added shrimp rillette too? Garlic shrimp and cream cheese sounds criminally good.
Hop BroExactly, and Sakura Taps is strong because of its wide tap lineup. Saison, Helles, fruit sour, IPA, stout... it's easy to drink by mood.
MugiAnd on June 5 it's a 3 p.m. opening with an 11:30 p.m. close? My self-control just filed for leave.
Hop BroThe place is calm and even does coffee, so choosing your next pour becomes part of the fun. Honestly, I already want Back to Black first and the red ale right after.
MugiThen I'm in. I want a black-and-red tasting with shrimp rillette on the side, and now I need to be in Yokohama immediately.
On June 5, Sakura Taps added two new beers to the lineup: `Back to Black / Brewccoly / Black IPA`, a dark IPA with a light body and a dry finish, and `のろしアメリカンレッドエール / のろし醸造 / American Red Ale`, a malt-forward red ale with American hop bitterness. Both beers are built to be easy to keep drinking, despite their deeper color and flavor profile.
The day’s tap list also includes `Celebration Saison / Brewccoly × Godspeed Brewery`, `吉田町へレス 2026 / Sakura Taps × 沼津クラフト`, `果物生活 / 京都醸造`, `Churro / PECORA BEER`, `ReFill IPA / Fill Brewing`, `Dr.Dankness / West Coast Brewing`, `STARLIGHT IPA / 南信州ビール`, and `Hometown Stout / Yorocco Beer`. The lineup spans saison, helles, fruit sour, IPA, and stout, making it easy to choose according to mood.
Food-wise, the bar has also added `エビのリエット メルバトースト添え`, a shrimp and cream cheese rillettes served with melba toast. It looks like a natural pairing for a pint.
