Four Yokohama Bay Brewing Cans Newly Arrive at Triangle in Kobe
In a March 6, 2026 post from Craft Beer Shop Triangle, four canned beers from Yokohama Bay Brewing arrived. Although the brewery had been available there on draft before, this is the first time it has been offered in cans. From White Ale, Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, to Fruit Weizen, a lineup with very different directions has come together all at once.
Hop BroFour canned varieties from Yokohama Bay Brewing have arrived at the Kobe beer pub "Craft Beer Shop Triangle."
MugiWait, cans are a first!? This first-time move from draft to cans feels like a pretty big deal, doesn't it?
Hop BroExactly. They had carried it on draft before, but this time the key point is that you can enjoy it in cans. Making its can debut in Kobe is quietly exciting, right?
MugiFour beers, and they all go in different directions? Or are they all just going to come at you with hops? Hearing that they have a wide range makes me curious!
Hop BroFirst up is WEEKEND JOURNEY, a White Ale that stands out with citrus character derived from the yeast. What’s interesting is that it creates a Belgian White-like feel without using orange peel or coriander.
MugiWait, it can taste like a White Ale without coriander? Citrus character from the yeast sounds almost magical!
Hop BroNot magic, just the yeast doing its job. Next is UNCLE RINNE, a Hazy IPA where two rounds of dry hopping really shine. The tropical aroma from Citra and Mosaic comes forward, so it’s for people who care most about aroma.
MugiFor a second I thought dry hopping meant drying out the hops! A Hazy that’s all about aroma sounds like my nose would start drinking first.
Hop BroNot drying them out, but steeping the hops after fermentation. And BIG CRASH is a West Coast IPA, a hop-driven beer built with Krush, Citra, Mosaic, Cascade, and Superdelic. It’s said to have an aroma that evokes pine and tropical fruit.
MugiJust the hop names alone are enough to make me full! But the apple Weizen at the end sounds easy to drink. Apple juice from Aomori Prefecture? That already sounds delicious!
Hop BroExactly. The apple Weizen combines the fruity character of Weizen yeast and the softness of wheat with the fruitiness of apples for a gentle balance. Today, this makes me want to line up all four at Triangle and compare them side by side.
MugiWow, the lineup of white, hazy, WC IPA, and apple is amazing! This is definitely a side-by-side tasting night!
The Kobe Ward Minatogawa beer pub "Craft Beer Shop Triangle" has received four labels from Kanagawa's Yokohama Bay Brewing. The post notes, "We have carried it on draft before, but this is the first time in cans," making this a noteworthy chance to enjoy the brewery in can form at the shop.
The four newly arrived labels
- WEEKEND JOURNEY (White Ale)
A beer developed with Belgian White as its inspiration. Its defining feature is a design that brings out citrus character through yeast rather than relying on orange peel or coriander. With restrained bitterness and a clean finish, it is the kind of beer that suits an easygoing start.
- UNCLE RINNE (Hazy IPA / ABV 7.0%)
Aroma is emphasized through two rounds of dry hopping. Tropical impressions from Citra and Mosaic form the core, making this one especially appealing to aroma-focused drinkers.
- BIG CRASH (West Coast IPA / ABV 6.0%)
A hop-driven beer brewed with Krush, Citra, Mosaic, Cascade, and Superdelic. It is described as offering layered aromas reminiscent of pine and tropical fruit.
- りんごヴァイス (Fruits Weizen / ABV 5.5%)
Made with apple juice from Aomori Prefecture. It balances the fruity character of Weizen yeast with the soft mouthfeel of wheat and the fresh fruitiness of apples.
Even within the same brewery, these four beers range widely, from the delicacy of a white beer to the hop presence of an IPA and the approachable character of a fruit beer. For a night when you want to take your time tasting side by side, this is a very Triangle-like selection.
