Minoh Beer’s PLUM GOSE Tapped at Craft Beer 2 TAPS in Yokosuka
Craft Beer 2 TAPS, a beer pub in the Shioiri area of Yokosuka, has tapped Minoh Beer’s guest beer PLUM GOSE. The gose features ripe plum character, plum vinegar, and a light salty finish.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Minoh Beer’s PLUM GOSE. It just went on tap at Craft Beer 2 TAPS in Yokosuka, and it sounds perfect for summer.
MugiWhat! Minoh Beer in Yokosuka? And plum too? My mouth is puckering just from the name!
Hop BroIt’s made with ripe Nanko plums and plum vinegar from Minabe, Wakayama, so you get soft fruitiness, mellow acidity, and that classic gose-style salty edge.
MugiHold on, what even is gose? You say that so casually, and my brain is already turning into foam!
Hop BroThe easiest way to think of it is a tart, lightly salty beer. Kind of like lemonade with a hint of sea breeze, except yes, it’s definitely beer.
MugiOoh, plum and salt together? That sounds like a grown-up version of a salty plum snack, and now I’m curious.
Hop BroAnd the specs are 4.5% ABV with IBU 13, so the bitterness stays gentle. It uses Kent Goldings hops, which lets the plum character stay front and center.
MugiThere it is, the IBU 13 mystery! Is this going to be on the test? Do I need to study before I drink?
Hop BroIBU is a bitterness scale. At 13, this should drink pretty softly, so instead of ‘whoa, bitter!’ it’s more likely to be ‘whoa, tart and tasty!’
MugiThen first glass or with food both sound right! If we head to Craft Beer 2 TAPS now, maybe they can connect me to the tap too!
Hop BroIt really is a summer-ready pour. Getting a limited Minoh release in Yokosuka is half the fun, and this feels like one to catch while the keg lasts.
MugiThat settles it. I want to taste it fresh right from the tap. Just imagining that balance of plum fruit, acidity, and salt is making me thirsty already!

About PLUM GOSE
PLUM GOSE is a gose brewed by Minoh Beer using ripe Nanko plums and plum vinegar from Minabe, Wakayama. The beer is built around gentle plum fruitiness, rounded acidity, and umami, with the style’s subtle salinity tying everything together. The result is a crisp, refreshing finish rather than a heavy sour profile.
The beer is listed at 4.5% ABV and 13 IBU, and it uses Kent Goldings hops. It is not a bitterness-forward beer; instead, it highlights plum character and a clean, dry edge that works especially well in warm weather.
