Moyamoya Base in Sapporo taps Otaru Beer Schwarz
Moyamoya Base, a beer pub in central Sapporo, announced a one-keg tap change. The new beer on tap is Otaru Beer Schwarz, fitting the bar’s fast-rotating five-tap lineup focused on Japanese craft beer.
Hop BroA fresh keg swap in Sapporo just caught my eye: Moyamoya Base has tapped Otaru Beer’s Schwarz.
MugiWhat! Otaru Beer Schwarz sounds powerful already. That name has final-boss energy!
Hop BroExactly. It’s basically a dark lager pour, so you get roasty character without it feeling too heavy.
MugiHold on, dark lager? What is that supposed to mean? It’s dark but still easy-drinking? My brain is slipping!
Hop BroLagers ferment cool, which often gives them a cleaner finish. Schwarz brings that toasty black-beer vibe, but keeps it smooth and approachable.
MugiOhhh, so it’s not some charred punishment drink that makes me question my life choices?
Hop BroRight, and Moyamoya Base runs five taps on rotation, so the lineup can change fast every time you stop by.
MugiThat’s fun! And if it’s on M’s Nijo Yokocho 2F, I could totally wander in during a walk around town.
Hop BroThey open at 2 p.m. for daytime drinks, and they even have a 250ml small pour, which is perfect for sampling.
MugiDay drinking with a strategy? Amazing. I’d check the current tap list on Instagram first, then rush over if Schwarz is still on!
Hop BroBeing able to chase Otaru’s dark beer right in central Sapporo is exactly why these keg swaps are fun.
MugiI’m done pretending to be calm. I want a Schwarz toast immediately!
The tap change
Moyamoya Base’s Instagram announced a one-keg change and introduced Otaru Beer / Schwarz. It is a local craft beer choice that brings beer from Otaru into central Sapporo.
About the bar
Moyamoya Base is a beer pub on the 2nd floor of M's Nijo Yokocho in Minami 2-jo Higashi 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo. The bar focuses on Japanese craft beer and runs five taps. Because the kegs change frequently, the lineup can shift from visit to visit. Guests can choose between a regular 370 ml pour and a smaller 250 ml size, which makes tasting multiple beers easier.
What you can drink
The featured beer this time is Schwarz from Otaru Beer. The post clearly names both the beer and the brewery, so this is a straightforward keg swap rather than a special event announcement. If you like darker beer styles, this is a notable tap to watch for in Sapporo.
Why it’s worth checking
The bar opens from 2:00 p.m., so it works for daytime drinking as well. Its location inside a yokocho-style building also gives it a tucked-away feel. Rather than locking in a fixed list, the appeal here is following the rotating taps and seeing what local craft beer is on deck that day.
If you are planning a craft beer stop in Sapporo, it is worth checking Moyamoya Base’s Instagram for the current tap list before going.
