craft beer BLUE posts an eight-beer tap list led by NOMCRAFT Brewing’s EMULATOR
craft beer BLUE, a beer pub in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, shared an eight-beer tap list headlined by NOMCRAFT Brewing’s EMULATOR IPA. The lineup also features BrewBeast Brewery, TWO RABBITS BREWING COMPANY, SHARED BREWERY, AFURI BREWING, and more, with service starting at 5 p.m.
Hop Brocraft beer BLUE in Sagamihara just dropped an eight-tap lineup that's seriously tempting. Right at the top is NOMCRAFT Brewing's EMULATOR, an IPL, and kicking this off at 5 p.m. feels almost unfair.
MugiWait, the name EMULATOR already sounds overpowered! But is IPL basically IPA's cousin, or a lager sneaking around in a hop costume?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. IPL means India Pale Lager: you get IPA-like hop aroma, but the fermentation leans lager, so the finish stays crisp and clean.
MugiWhoa, lager-style fermentation turned this into science class fast! But crisp and aromatic does sound perfect for a first glass.
Hop BroExactly, then BrewBeast Brewery's Mr.RADICAL opens up a tart-fruit route with its Fruit Sour Ale. After that, TWO RABBITS BREWING COMPANY's HOP ZOMBIE TROPICAL FUSION brings hazy pale ale and full tropical energy.
MugiWhat even is a hop zombie with tropical vibes? That's way too much personality for one beer name, and I kind of love it.
Hop BroAnd it keeps going. Bighand Bros. Beer's Nephrite gives you a Session IPA option, then SHARED BREWERY's Tropical Escape, RIKRI BREWERY's Dear All, and AFURI BREWING's DDH Juicy Hazy IPA let you compare totally different hop expressions.
MugiHold on, what does DDH mean? You can't just throw wizard letters at me and expect my brain not to foam over!
Hop BroDDH is basically extra dry hopping. Brewers add more hops after fermentation to push aroma hard, then you can close with Yamorido's Gogo no Stout, an Oatmeal Coffee Stout, plus coffee nuts or the squid-and-bacon quiche.
MugiOkay, now I can fully picture the 5 p.m. first pint all the way to a stout finish. craft beer BLUE in Garden Building II 2F sounds way too drinkable tonight.
