craft beer BLUE posts an eight-tap lineup featuring Repubrew and more
The beer pub craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara, Kanagawa shared an Instagram tap-list post titled "Tea Bowl Steamed Custard," revealing eight beers spanning fruit sour hazy IPA to citrus stout.
Hop BroToday's feature is the tap list from craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara, and it's an eight-tap lineup. The Instagram post is called Chawanmushi, which is already a pretty wild opener.
MugiWait, a Chawanmushi post is actually about beer? My brain just paired steamed custard with pints and refused to explain itself!
Hop BroThe first beer is serious too: Repubrew's MOMOSAIC HAZY SOUR. It's a Fruit Sour Hazy IPA, so you get tart fruitiness and juicy haze at the same time.
MugiWow, but Fruit Sour Hazy IPA sounds like a magic spell. Is it sour, cloudy, or a full-on hop party?
Hop BroThe answer is yes to all of that. It has fruity acidity, a hazy look, and a bright hop aroma. Basically it's juicy cloudy refreshment in beer form.
MugiThat already sounds great! And then GANGI BREWING's OH SNAP! is a West Coast Pils, open air's cruise control is an XPA, and NOVORU's Asobe II joins in too? This lineup is festival-level!
Hop BroExactly, and then you add NEKOBEER's クリアネコリキッドはいぱー, OUR BREWING's Magic Flavour Ver.Ekuanot and New Classic, plus GROUNDTAP BREWERY's CITRUS STOUT. From hazy to stout it all connects nicely.
MugiHold on, TDH Hazy Pale Ale and TDH West Coast IPA? What even is TDH? Is that a new idol group or what!?
Hop BroClose, but it's the sign for extra hop aroma. TDH means triple dry-hopped, where brewers add hops after fermentation to push the aroma way up. Think of it as an aroma overdrive button.
MugiOhhh, and since OUR BREWING has two beers on, you can compare different expressions from the same brewery. That's a very educational cheers!
Hop BroRight, and at the calm second-floor spot in Sagamidai from 5 p.m., you can move from pils to XPA, pale ale, hazy, and stout in sequence. That's the craft beer BLUE style.
MugiThen it's settled! I want to start with MOMOSAIC HAZY SOUR and finish with CITRUS STOUT. Let's go get a pint right now!
craft beer BLUE is a beer pub in Sagamihara, Kanagawa. In an Instagram post titled "Tea Bowl Steamed Custard," the bar shared an eight-beer tap list for the day.
The lineup starts with Repubrew "MOMOSAIC HAZY SOUR," followed by GANGI BREWING "OH SNAP!," open air "cruise control," NOVORU "AsobeⅡ," NEKOBEER "Clear Nekoliquid Hyper," OUR BREWING "Magic Flavour Ver.Ekuanot," OUR BREWING "New Classic," and GROUNDTAP BREWERY "CITRUS STOUT." The styles are equally varied: Fruit Sour Hazy IPA, West Coast Pils, XPA, TDH Hazy Pale Ale, TDH West Coast IPA, Oat Cream Hazy IPA, American Pale Ale, and Citrus Stout.
That spread gives the tap list a clear drinking arc, from bright and refreshing to hop-forward haze and finally a citrus-leaning stout. The two OUR BREWING beers also make side-by-side comparison easy, which is always welcome for drinkers who like to follow how a brewery expresses different styles.
Set on the second floor in the Sagamihara area, craft beer BLUE is a spot where you can settle in and work through the board at your own pace. The post also notes an 5 p.m. start, making it an inviting early-evening pour stop.
