craft beer BLUE taps two beers including BREW CLASSIC "Tamayaradius"
The beer pub craft beer BLUE in Minami Ward, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa, announced in a post on April 24, 2026 that it would tap two draft beers. From 5:00 p.m., BREW CLASSIC's Hazy IPA "Tamayaradius" and BrewBeast Brewery's Fruit Stout "ECLIPSE" will be on offer, bringing the lineup to a total of eight taps.
Hop BroToday, the Sagamihara beer pub craft beer BLUE is opening two kegs from 5 p.m. The BREW CLASSIC "Tamayaradius" and BrewBeast Brewery "ECLIPSE" are a pair I'm really curious about.
MugiWhat, two kegs at once!? Just hearing two draft beers is exciting, and the names already sound strong!
Hop BroFirst up, "Tamayaradius" is a Hazy IPA, built around Nelson with Sabro layered in as an accent. It has fruity notes like pineapple, orange, and lychee, and it's the kind of beer that goes down smoothly with restrained bitterness.
MugiNelson and Sabro sound like some kind of spell!? I get that they bring out each hop's character, but explain it more gently!
Hop BroOf course. Nelson tends to give white grape and tropical notes, while Sabro often brings coconut-like and citrus nuances. So the layered fruitiness is fun, and as the temperature rises, you even get vanilla-like notes.
MugiOhhh! The flavor changing with temperature feels like treasure hunting! If it even leaves a vanilla finish, I'd want to drink it slowly.
Hop BroThe other beer, "ECLIPSE," is a Fruit Stout, and what's interesting is that it uses Hitomebore rice from Iwate Prefecture. They combine that with blood orange juice, so it has a solid roasted backbone but also plenty of brightness.
MugiOrange in a stout!? So because of the gap with its appearance, it's dark but tastes bright? That kind of fries my brain!
Hop BroExactly. Coffee- and cacao-like impressions overlap with the acidity and sweetness of blood orange, so even though it looks heavy, it's actually pretty drinkable. The rice also gives it a softer mouthfeel.
MugiAnd there are eight taps total today, right? With fruit beers, IPAs, gose, and stout, the tasting lineup is already complete from the first glass!
Hop BroExactly. HUMANS BEER's Fruit Ale and open air's fruited gose are on the list too, so today is a day made for following the tap changes. All right, let's start with Tamayaradius and finish with ECLIPSE.
MugiAgreed! It's such a perfect day for a tasting flight, and if we go all the way to Sagamihara, I feel like there's no way we'll stop at just two glasses!
The beer pub craft beer BLUE, located on the 2nd floor of Garden Building II, 2-2-2 Sagamidai, Minami Ward, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa, announced in a post on April 24, 2026, "Today, we're tapping two beers!" From 5:00 p.m., the two beers being served are BREW CLASSIC's Hazy IPA "Tamayaradius" and BrewBeast Brewery's Fruit Stout "ECLIPSE."
"Tamayaradius" is a beer centered on Nelson, with Sabro layered in as an accent. It offers fruity notes reminiscent of pineapple, orange, and lychee, and as the temperature rises, vanilla nuances gently emerge. With a smooth mouthfeel and restrained bitterness, it puts the drinkability typical of a Hazy IPA front and center.
Meanwhile, "ECLIPSE" is a fruit stout that combines a stout brewed with Hitomebore rice from Iwate Prefecture and blood orange juice. It has a solid roasted backbone, but the freshness of blood orange and its rich sweetness overlap, creating a beer that is designed to be highly drinkable, including in contrast to its appearance.
The tap list for the day totals eight beers. In addition to the two featured here, it includes HUMANS BEER's "GUAVA and MANGO" Fruit Ale, open air's "mikan gose" Fruited Gose, KaruizawaQ's "風通し" Session IPA, BREWMIN'"s "一丁あがりベイベー" Wheat IPA, THREE ARROWS BREWING's "Sunset Kamoshika" Red Cold IPA, and BrewBeast Brewery's "BEASTIE" Pale Ale.
Because the lineup ranges from fruit beers and IPAs to gose and stout, it is easy to build a plan from a first glass to a tasting comparison. For beer fans who like to follow keg changes, this is the kind of day that makes a stop worthwhile while checking how the taps move throughout the day.
