Hop BroToday's topic is Sakura Taps in Yokohama pouring eight draft taps. It opens at 3:00 p.m. on August 19, closes at 11:30 p.m., and the headline beer is Baeren × Highbury's LEMENBRAU.
MugiWait, what even is LEMENBRAU? That name sounds less like a beer and more like a final boss!
Hop BroIt's a session classic rauch built on Baeren Classic with a portion of rauch malt, so you get toasty flavor followed by a smoky finish.
MugiWhat is that! Rauch malt suddenly sounds like a tavern spell. I don't need to chant before drinking, right?!
Hop BroNo spell required. It's basically smoke-kissed malt, which is why LEMENBRAU should pair beautifully with smoked nuts.
MugiOoh, and they prepared 20 liters? That's a shortage warning if I've ever heard one. If we hesitate, the smoke wins!
Hop BroThe rest of the lineup is strong too. Yoshidamachi Helles 2026, the Sakura Taps × Numazu Craft collab, sounds perfect for easy, crisp drinking.
MugiI like that already! There's Nomcraft Pale Ale too, plus collab-heavy picks like Tentai Kanbo and Game Night. I'd loop the menu forever!
Hop BroThat's the appeal. IPA, lager, pale ale, Dark Lager, and even Da Boy Tommie make this a find your favorite kind of tap list.
MugiA second-floor beer pub with food and music, and we start with one smoky pint? That sounds less like a plan and more like destiny.
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind of day that makes you say after Obon, LEMENBRAU. First the smoky pour, then the helles, then maybe the pale ale.
MugiMy throat is fully convinced now. I'm doing a straight shot to Sakura Taps, and yes, I will pretend one glass is still a realistic goal!
