15brewery in Hayama lines up five beers on its July 30 tap list
15brewery, a takeaway-only brewery in Hayama, Kanagawa, has posted its July 30 tap list. The lineup includes five beers: the Belgian-style 'Numa no Soko,' a stout, Raw Red Ale, Summer Mikan Ale, and Raw Hazy IPA.
Hop BroHayama's 15brewery tap list for July 30 has five beers on it, and the lineup is seriously fun. It's takeaway-only, but this is exactly the kind of list that makes me want to talk beer.
MugiWait, five beers on tap? That's stacked! If standing drinks are paused, how are people supposed to enjoy them?
Hop BroThey do sealed bottles, carbonated PET bottles, and growler fills, so the whole setup is built for takeaway. You can drink at home and just imagine the sea breeze from Hayama.
MugiI'm already hearing imaginary waves! But the one grabbing me is 'Bottom of the Swamp'. That name goes hard!
Hop BroThat's a Belgian-style beer with extra wheat malt, plus orange peel, coriander seed, chamomile, clove, lime from Owase, and even honey. It's a total spiced flavor maze, with a little sweetness and acidity too.
MugiThat is so much information! Does Belgian-style mean my taste buds need a passport? And with clove in there, does the beer turn into potpourri?
Hop BroNot at all. The spices are there to shape the aroma, so it stays firmly beer while getting more expressive. Think of it like layers of aroma stacked on top of each other.
MugiOhhh! So the dark slot goes to the jet-black stout, and the refreshing one is the summer mikan ale?
Hop BroExactly. 'Dodanba Ale' uses Hayama summer mikan and even bread from Miura bakery Jyumugi. Then 'Raw Red Ale' and 'Raw Hazy IPA' use Raw Ale brewing, where the wort isn't boiled, so the malt weight and aroma come through harder.
MugiWait, not boiled? Raw Ale brewing sounds like a kitchen mistake, but it actually turns into something delicious?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. 'Raw Red Ale' leans deep and malty, while 'Raw Hazy IPA' brings citrus, piney notes, and a touch of bitterness. The whole lineup feels like Hayama in a glass.
MugiNow I want to sample all of them by the sea... or honestly just at home. I'm suddenly craving a drink right now.
Hop BroSame here. I'd start by falling into 'Bottom of the Swamp' and finish with the summer mikan to climb back out. This is a five-beer temptation if I've ever seen one.

The July 30 tap list featured five beers with distinct profiles.
- 'Numa no Soko': a Belgian-style beer brewed with plenty of wheat malt, orange peel, coriander seed, chamomile, clove, lime from Owase in Mie, and honey from Hachigoya in Nagai, Yokosuka. The brewery describes it as lightly sweet, a little tart, and complex with spicy aromas.
- 'Stout': a deep, rich beer with a pitch-black appearance.
- 'Raw Red Ale': brewed with an unboiled Raw Ale process to emphasize the heavy, malt-driven flavor and aroma of the grain.
- 'Dodanba Ale (Summer Mikan Ale)': a fruit beer made with Hayama summer mikan. It is presented as a crisp, refreshing beer, and it also uses baguettes from Miura Pan-ya Mitsumugi as part of the recipe.
- 'Raw Hazy IPA': another Raw Ale beer, this time with citrus and pine-like hop aromas and moderate bitterness. It also uses baguettes from Miura Pan-ya Mitsumugi.
With a seaside Hayama setting and a tap list built around local ingredients and process-driven brewing, the brewery shows a clear local identity even in takeaway form.
