craft beer BLUE taps MAHOWBREW and 8 others, in line with Sagamihara support campaign
The beer pub `craft beer BLUE` in Minami Ward, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture updated its tap list in a post dated May 20. Eight labels including MAHOWBREW, GANGI BREWING, and NOVORU are on offer, and the shop is accepting customers from 5:00 p.m. in line with the campaign to support shops in "Sagamihara."
Hop BroSagamihara's `craft beer BLUE` updated its taps on May 20. And because it's tied to the campaign supporting shops in "Sagamihara," the fact that they're guiding people in from 5:00 p.m. is exactly the kind of thing that makes you want to go drink there.
MugiWhoa! Eight kegs on tap? That's enough to make me lose my way before I even decide. And with a support campaign too? That's the kind of setup where your feet just head there on their own, right?
Hop BroThe star of the show is `MAHOWBREW`'s Nidhogg Luchuensis. It's a Norwegian Sour Red Ale, and the point of interest is how it brings together acidity and a thick malt body.
MugiWhat even is that! Acidity and malt thickness? Is it sweet? Is it sour? Which is it?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It doesn't lean only into sourness; the malt richness supports it, so the drinking experience becomes layered. In short, it's a beer you enjoy as a tug-of-war between acidity and body.
MugiOhhh! Then how about `GANGI BREWING`'s OBLAB? A West Coast Pale Ale sounds like it's got snap just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. It's for people who want a crisp hop profile, with bright citrusy or pine-like aromas coming through cleanly. Drinking it in a beer pub like `craft beer BLUE` makes that profile stand out even more.
MugiAnd on top of that there's `NOVORU`'s Saboru, and even `NAMACHAん Brewing`'s CAMA×NAMA New World IPA! That's way too much IPA traffic jam for IPA fans!
Hop BroAnd `Totopia Brewery`'s Glitchphobia is a DDH West Coast IPA, while `Kyoto Brewing`'s DRINK ME! is a Hazy IPA, so even though they're both IPAs, the directions are pretty different. It's fun to compare them by aroma-first or bitterness-first.
MugiGot it! If you want something lighter, go for `Yamoro-do`'s Yamori Gold; if you're heading toward the end of the night, then `CYCAD BREWING`'s Dark Method. I think I've already decided on tonight's beer!
Hop BroExactly. Being able to settle in and drink on the second floor of Sagamihara-dai is part of the appeal too. How about making tonight a tasting night at `craft beer BLUE`?
MugiLet's go, let's go! With the eight kegs fresh after the update, we can still choose now, and if we can't choose, then we should just have them all!
