Sankt Gallen begins serving its summer Extra Cold pours at its Atsugi taproom
Sankt Gallen Taproom in Atsugi, Kanagawa has started serving its seasonal Extra Cold pours again this summer. Using a special beer server that chills beer below 0°C, the offering showcases the brewery’s factory-direct draft beer at its own taproom.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the Sanktgallen taproom in Atsugi bringing back Extra Cold service for summer. It’s one of their warm-weather staples every year.
MugiWait, beer below zero? That sounds less like a drink and more like air-conditioning in a glass!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a super-chilled pour served through a special beer system. Since it’s a direct taproom for Sankt Gallen Brewery, they can do it with fresh keg beer sent straight from the brewery.
MugiHold on, fresh keg beer? Why does that make the keg sound like it’s alive?
Hop BroIt just means beer poured from a keg instead of a bottle or can. At the north exit of Hon-Atsugi Station, the taproom offers brewery-direct freshness as one of its big draws.
MugiThat’s wild! And it’s right by the station? Up to 20 taps sounds like the final boss of summer thirst.
Hop BroYep. Alongside Golden Ale, Pale Ale, and YOKOHAMA XPA, they also have Shonan Gold, Pineapple Ale, and even Watermelon Wheat. The best part is the strong seasonal lineup.
MugiWatermelon Wheat? science-fair energy for a beer name, but I still want it immediately!
Hop BroCraft beer usually gets praised for aroma and flavor, but Extra Cold really leans into refreshment first. On a hot day, that crisp icy finish just hits.
MugiThen the plan is obvious: go to Atsugi and taste them side by side! Start with Extra Cold, then move on to Watermelon Wheat.
Hop BroNo argument here. Start with Extra Cold, then work through the seasonals: that’s the perfect summer route. Now I want a pint too.
