craft beer BLUE, a beer pub in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, posted its latest tap list on Instagram on August 14. The lineup spans eight Japanese breweries, including BREW CLASSIC, VERTERE, and NOMCRAFT Brewing, alongside curry and small plates.
Hop BroSagamihara's craft beer BLUE just dropped a fresh tap update. Their August 14 Instagram post lined up eight domestic breweries plus food, which is a dangerous combo in the best way.
MugiWait, so it's not just beer, it's a serious food setup too? Tripe, beef tendon, and bean spice curry with myoga-cucumber salad is making me hungry immediately!
Hop BroAnd the beer spread is a stacked eight-tap lineup: BREW CLASSIC's Kitsune no Yomeiri, NOVORU's Tagiru, open air's beach nectar, and NOMCRAFT Brewing's BRAVE RABBIT. It runs from West Coast Pilsner all the way to DDH IPA.
MugiWhen I hear West Coast, I picture a sea breeze beer. What actually makes it West Coast? If it's salty, I'm going to file a complaint with my taste buds.
Hop BroNo seawater, just defined hop character. West Coast styles are usually crisp, aromatic, and bitter in a clean way, so they feel sharp and refreshing.
MugiOkay, then what on earth is this DDH thing? It sounds like a spell that turns a faucet into an IPA machine.
Hop BroDDH means Double Dry Hopped. Brewers add a lot of hops after fermentation to crank up aroma, so beers like NOMCRAFT's BRAVE RABBIT can really bloom in the glass.
MugiThe names are wild too! NEKOBEER's Sparunyang X and CYCAD BREWING's Peanut Butter Po Taro are beers you must say aloud.
Hop BroExactly, and the lineup is a full squad of oddballs in the best way. NEKOBEER is a Fruits Sour IPA, CYCAD is a Flavored Porter, and VERTERE's Roystonea plus RIKRI BREWING's Wanderlust are already running low.
MugiLow stock is stressful! So if I want to play the food pairing game, what goes with the spice curry and the myoga salad?
Hop BroFor the curry, an IPA like BRAVE RABBIT or a Milk Shake Hazy IPA like beach nectar could stand up to spice really nicely. For the myoga and cucumber, Tagiru or Kitsune no Yomeiri should click with that herbal freshness.
MugiAnd the post literally says we're open from 5 PM, so this is feeling dangerously convenient for an after-work stop.
Hop BroThat's what makes it a start-to-finish lineup. I'd open with Kitsune no Yomeiri, chase Roystonea if it's still there, and close with Peanut Butter Po Taro.
MugiThen it's settled, tonight's detour is craft beer BLUE. Curry in one hand, a pint in the other, and I am absolutely ready.
