Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Honten posts 14 taps with gold-medal Bay Pilsner
Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Honten has posted a 14-beer lineup led by Bay Pilsner, which carries a WORLD BEER CUP 2025 gold medal note. The board also includes house staples such as Bay Dark and Yuzu Weiss, plus guest beers from Minoh Beer.
Hop BroToday's headline: Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Store just dropped its latest 14 taps, and I'm getting thirsty already.
MugiWait, fourteen taps at once? That's basically a festival, and beginner me is panicking in a fun way!
Hop BroStart with the flagship, Bay Pilsner gold medal. It won gold at WORLD BEER CUP 2025, so the brewery's core is crystal clear.
MugiOoh! But what is a pilsner? The name sounds so proper I feel underdressed.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a crisp lager style. Clean and easy to drink, but still full of malt character, so it's a killer first pour.
MugiOkay, then what about Yuzu Weisse? What is weisse? That suddenly sounds like a spell!
Hop BroWeisse is a wheat-based white beer, basically a soft wheat beer. Add yuzu on top, and the World Beer Cup 2024 gold and 2025 silver make perfect sense.
MugiNo way, that's the award magnet of the lineup. I'd probably applaud after the first sip!
Hop BroAnd their house lineup is broad: Bay Dark, Bay Weisse, SARA, Sprint IPA, Flatland, and more. Seeing Haratau Edition on the board is pure beer-nerd bait.
MugiHaratau isn't a person? That sounds like a special move, and I'd tense up ordering it!
Hop BroIt's a hop variety, so that beer puts Haratau in the aroma spotlight. Then you add Minoh Beer guest taps like Papa-zaru Lager and Hoppy Weizen, and the balance gets really good.
MugiLager, IPA, weizen, and then bacon potato spring rolls on the side? I can already see myself ordering another round.
Hop BroIn central Yokohama, getting flagship beers and seasonal taps in one stop is strong. Tonight in Kannai, I want that first pint too.
14 taps on pour
Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Honten has posted a 14-beer lineup built around its house classics. Bay Pilsner carries a WORLD BEER CUP 2025 gold medal note, while Yuzu Weiss is marked with WORLD BEER CUP 2024 gold and 2025 silver, showing how central the brewery's core beers are to the bar.
House beers plus guest pours
The tap list also includes Bay Pilsner Hallertau Edition, Bay Dark, Bay Weiss, Weekend Journey, Freestyle, Freedom, SARA, Sprint IPA, Steel Soul Fixie, and Flatland. Guest beers from Minoh Beer, Papa Zaru Lager and Hoppy Weizen, round out the list and give the menu a nice spread from lager and weiss to darker styles and hop-forward options.
What to order with it
The bar sits in Fukutomi-cho Higashi-dori in Yokohama's Naka Ward and works well as a straightforward beer-first stop. The post also highlights Bacon Potato Spring Rolls, which should pair neatly with the maltier and more bitter end of the list. For anyone who likes to compare house staples against guest taps, this is the kind of board worth checking in person.
