Yokohama's Sakura Taps serves 8 taps on May 18, including Kyoto Brewing's "Drink Me!"
On May 18, the beer pub Sakura Taps in Hanasakicho, Yokohama will pour eight beers with distinctly different character, from Kyoto Brewing's "Drink Me!" to gose, bitter, hazy IPA, and stout. On its Monday service, guests can take their time enjoying food and comparing the beers side by side.
Hop BroToday it's about Sakura Taps in Hanasakicho, Yokohama running an 8-tap lineup. Even without any new kegs on May 18, it's packed with standout beers.
MugiWhoa, it can get that lively without any new kegs!? So that means it's a day to compare the character of the casks, right?
Hop BroExactly. The headline beer is Kyoto Brewing's Drink Me!, and with a Helles, a gose, a hazy IPA, and even a stout alongside it, the place turns into a little beer fair.
MugiHuh! But with names like gose and Helles, I can't tell what they are at all! I can tell they'll be tasty, but what are they exactly!?
Hop BroGose is a crisp style with salt and acidity, while Helles is a clean, mellow lager. For example, Repubrew's Ume Kyuu Gose has a plum note that gives it a sharp finish.
MugiAh, so it's the kind that wakes you up with plum! That sounds perfect for a first beer.
Hop BroAnd Sakura Taps x Numazu Craft's Yoshidacho Helles 2026 is on too, so you can start light and then keep going steadily. It's also strong that it's a Monday service from 15:00 to 23:30.
MugiWait, they're open on Monday with those hours!? I can only picture myself stopping by after work, then suddenly finding myself doing a tasting flight!
Hop BroIn the back half, there's the English bitter Abe-chan's Draft Bitter, the hazy IPA HAZY IPA -Spring-, and the dark Dark Method, so the lineup runs straight from crisp to roasty.
MugiThat's amazing! A beer-tasting journey wrapped up in one place. I want to pair it with food and finish with a dark beer at the end, nice and reflective!
