Hop BroVANAVASA in Onarimachi, Kamakura has eight beers on tap today. The range runs from light and easy to rich, dark beer!
MugiWhoa! Eight out of ten taps are pouring? Are the other two taps out taking a walk?
Hop BroSharp catch. First up is Amber Lager, 5.5%—a dry-hopped amber lager that layers hop aroma over malty toastiness.
MugiWhat even is dry-hopped? Do they put hops in a dryer and then toss them into the beer?
Hop BroClose! It means adding hops after fermentation to boost the beer’s aroma. You get a fragrant lift without making the bitterness too intense.
MugiOhhh! So the 4.5% Little Thing session ale is light and aromatic at once? That sounds perfect with food!
Hop BroExactly. IPA fans should compare 7% Saburo Hazy, 7.5% Yoi Yoi IPA, and Mashup IPA Ekuanot at 6.5%.
MugiCan IPAs really be that different? Saburo Hazy sounds like it should arrive wearing a little cloud!
Hop BroGreat instinct! A hazy IPA is known for its soft, rounded mouthfeel. Yoi Yoi, a black IPA, brings roasty notes, while the Belgian IPA gets spicy character from its yeast.
MugiThat’s like a personality test made of IPAs! And there’s even a pineapple gose at 5%?
Hop BroIt’s a distinctive one: fruity pineapple, tartness, and a touch of salt. Have the gentle English-style Best bitter, then finish with Kurozuru #4 Belgian stout at 7%.
MugiA Kamakura stroll with kakuchi drinking and growler fills sounds way too good! The taps can change, so let’s head to VANAVASA for a small-pour tasting flight!
Today’s taps at VANAVASA
VANAVASA, a craft beer pub near Kamakura Station in Onari, has refreshed its tap list with a broad range of styles. Eight beers are listed across ten positions, offering options from crisp and sessionable pours to rich, dark ales.
No. 1 is Amber Lager, a 5.5% dry-hopped amber lager that combines malt depth with additional hop aroma. Little Thing follows at 4.5%, described as a dry-hopped session ale with a lighter body and approachable strength.
The IPA selection covers several distinct directions. Saburo Hazy is a 7% hazy IPA, while Yoiyo IPA is a 7.5% black IPA with a darker, roast-influenced profile. Mashup IPA Ekuanot is a 6.5% Belgian IPA, adding Belgian character to the hop-forward style. Together, the three beers provide a useful comparison of hazy, dark, and Belgian-leaning IPA approaches.
For something more unusual, Pineapple Gose is a 5% gose-style beer brewed with pineapple. Its fruit character is paired with the tart and lightly salty qualities associated with the style. Best bitter, at 4.5%, offers a more traditional English option, centered on balanced malt flavor and restrained bitterness. The list closes with Kurozuru #4, a 7% Belgian stout suited to drinkers looking for a fuller, darker pour.
VANAVASA is also known for its bottle-shop selection, growler fills, and casual standing-bar atmosphere. Visitors can stop in during a walk around Kamakura, compare different styles by the half pour, and ask the staff about the beers currently flowing. Tap availability may change, so checking the list at the venue is recommended.
