BRIGHT BLUE BREWING Publishes Tap List for Golden Week's Final Day, Reopens on 5/9 and 10
BRIGHT BLUE BREWING in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, announced its business hours for the final day of Golden Week and its latest tap list in a May 6 post. In addition to a notice that it will reopen on Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10, the post also included tap-opening information from Jingumae in Tokyo.
Hop BroFujiyoshida's BRIGHT BLUE BREWING has put out its business hours for the final day of Golden Week and its tap list. It's scheduled to reopen on 5/9 (Sat) and 5/10 (Sun), so the weekend can't come soon enough.
MugiWait, they've already announced the reopening? That's so thoughtful. Dropping beer info at the end of a holiday break is seriously kind!
Hop BroAnd this time it's a lineup centered on five taps, which gives it that small-batch, wide-variety feel you'd expect from a taproom at the foot of Mount Fuji. This round's ON TAP items are `Orecchi no Fresh Hop Beer`, `Sake Lees Rice Ale`, `Mango Sour Ale`, `Jalapeño Saison`, and `Spice Ale`.
MugiWait a second, fresh hop? Just the name sounds green and tasty, but how is it different from regular hops?
Hop BroFresh hop means the hops are used immediately after harvest. Because of that, it's easier to get a vivid, green aroma and a freshness that feels like the season itself has been sealed in.
MugiI get it! Then Sake Lees Rice Ale is intriguing too. Does it taste like sake, or does it feel more rice-like?
Hop BroIt's got the gentle sweet aroma of sake lees plus a lightness from the rice. It's not too heavy and goes down easily, so it's excellent as a really easy-drinking one.
MugiWhat! And they even have Jalapeño Saison? It sounds suddenly spicy, like my heart would heat up before my throat does!
Hop BroSaison styles naturally lean dry and spicy, so they pair well with jalapeño's fresh heat. It's also currently on tap at `@beerbrain_harajuku` in Jingumae, Tokyo, so it's great that you can drink it in the city too.
MugiI see, so Yoshida Udon Beer is also meant to go with food? Just from the name, I already want to drink it while slurping noodles!
Hop BroExactly, it's the kind of beer that makes you want to pair it with local dishes. The bottles also include Sansho Saison and Spice Ale, and that broad range of flavors is very much what BRIGHT BLUE BREWING is about.
MugiThis is definitely the kind of thing where you go taste them side by side in Fujiyoshida and head home saying you can't wait for the weekend. I'm curious about the Mango Sour Ale too, and now I'll be restless until reopening day!
In its May 6 post, BRIGHT BLUE BREWING released its business information for the final day of Golden Week and its current tap list. The post said, "Next, we'll open again on 5/9 (Sat) & 10 (Sun)," and also noted that at `@beerbrain_harajuku` in Jingumae, Tokyo, the "Jalapeño Saison" is currently on tap.
The taproom attached to the brewery in Fujiyoshida features a foothills location and a lineup centered on five taps. Its appeal lies in enjoying small pours of seasonal house-brewed beers built around hops. The `ON TAP` items confirmed in this post were `Orecchi no Fresh Hop Beer`, `Sake Lees Rice Ale`, `Mango Sour Ale`, `Jalapeño Saison`, and `Spice Ale`.
The `BOTTLE` lineup included `Yoshida Udon Beer`, `Jalapeño Saison`, `Spice Ale`, `Mango Sour Ale`, and `Sansho Saison`. From fresh-hop beers to distinctive offerings using sake lees, sansho pepper, and jalapeño, the range is quite broad. For pairing with food, `Yoshida Udon Beer` looks like the one to choose; if you want to enjoy shifts in aroma, `Sansho Saison` and `Spice Ale` are appealing; and if you want something easy-drinking, `Sake Lees Rice Ale` and `Mango Sour Ale` stand out.
Operations in Fujiyoshida are mainly on weekends and holidays. If you drink on site, it would be fun to compare the bottled and draft beers while soaking in the brewery atmosphere. It is also reassuring that the next opening dates have already been announced heading into the weekend after Golden Week. If you're interested, you'll want to keep an eye on the latest tap status along with the business days.
