Three New Taps Open at BAMBOO 4 in Yokohama, Including a Strawberry-Tart Sour Ale
BAMBOO 4 Craft Beer & Mexican in Sakuragicho, Yokohama, has released its tap list for April 19. Eight taps, including three new ones, are on offer, with a springlike lineup featuring a strawberry sour ale, a golden ale made with cherry leaves, and a locally hopped saison.
Hop BroThe tap update at BAMBOO 4 in Sakuragicho, Yokohama is hot. On April 19, three new taps opened, and a spring-like lineup showed up all at once.
MugiWhoa, three at once!? And a spring-like lineup too? That already sounds delicious just from the words!
Hop BroFirst up is Sankt Gallenbrewery's Whey Sour Ale Strawberry. It uses whey from cheese production and strawberries, so it's the kind of beer where tartness and sweetness float together.
MugiWait, what's whey?! Like leftover cheese liquid? And that becomes beer!?
Hop BroBasically, it's the liquid part of milk left after cheese making. It tends to soften the tartness, and with strawberries on top of that, the fruity acidity comes together beautifully.
MugiOhhh! Then it's perfect for a first beer. A drink to start lightly is way too kind to the daytime-drinking crowd!
Hop BroNext is Outsider Brewing's CHERRY BOY. It's a golden ale made with cherry leaves, with a gentle aroma, a soft mouthfeel, and even a hint of sakura mochi.
MugiA beer that tastes like sakura mochi!? That's basically the dream fusion of the Japanese sweets world and the beer world. Just imagining it makes me want to go hanami!
Hop BroAnd Primary Barrels' FUNMER is a local hop saison brewed with fresh hops. It has the citrus notes of Cascade and Centennial, plus the crisp finish you want from a saison, so it's perfect for your second beer and beyond.
MugiNice, so the flow naturally makes you want to keep drinking! And if it pairs well with tacos, I'm definitely staying there until night!
Hop BroWith Raven, Motto Neltorasan, Biasphobia, and the others, it's the kind of full, satisfying eight-tap lineup that gives you more than enough reason to drink from early in the day in Sakuragicho.
MugiYeah, this is a must-go! Today I want to head straight to BAMBOO 4 in search of my first spring beer!
Tap List for April 19
At BAMBOO 4 Craft Beer & Mexican, located in Hanasakicho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, just a short walk from Sakuragicho Station, the tap list for Sunday, April 19, has been announced. Hours for the day are 15:00 to 23:00. In line with Sunday service that makes it easy to stop by for daytime drinking, the lineup is lively, with three new taps opened.
The standout is Whey Sour Ale Strawberry / Sankt Gallenbrewery. This sour ale uses whey, a byproduct of cheese production, along with plenty of strawberries, creating a beer where fruity tartness and sweetness overlap. It is presented as a good first drink if you want to start lightly, and its appearance is distinctly springlike as well.
Next is CHERRY BOY / Outsider Brewing, a golden ale made with cherry leaves. It is described as having a gentle aroma and soft mouthfeel, with nuances reminiscent of sakura mochi. It seems like a good fit for anyone who wants to slowly enjoy a seasonal flavor.
Also new is FUNMER / Primary Barrels, a local hop saison brewed with fresh hops. Built around the citrus notes of Cascade and Centennial, it adds the crisp finish typical of a saison, making it a good choice for the transition to a second or third beer.
The full tap list includes eight taps: Raven / FLORA FERMENTATION, Motto Neltorasan / Neko Beer, Biasphobia / Totopia Brewery, SAP / Bibai Shirakaba Brewery, and Gothweiser / DevilCraft Brewery. True to the shop's style of combining craft beer with Mexican food, the lineup is easy to enjoy alongside tacos as you keep drinking.
For anyone in the Sakuragicho and Noge area looking to drink craft beer properly from early in the day, this is a lineup worth checking out.
