Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Branch highlights sawara, kinmedai and a 14-tap lineup
Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Branch says it has recovered from a refrigeration issue and is serving beer from its regular taps again. The latest post also spotlights Chiba-sourced sawara and kinmedai, making it a practical stop for seafood and house beer in Kannai.
Hop BroToday's topic is Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai. Their refrigeration trouble is fixed, and they are back to pouring beer from the regular 14 taps.
MugiWhat, nice! Back to normal is already reassuring, and on a hot day that sounds way too tempting.
Hop BroAnd the food is smart too. They brought in Chiba Spanish mackerel seared with straw aroma and golden eye snapper served yubiki-style, basically a great seafood combo.
MugiWait, what is yubiki? Is that like giving the fish a tiny spa treatment?
Hop BroPretty much. It is a quick hot-water finish on the surface that tightens the texture, a gentle extra step that makes rich fish easier to eat between sips.
MugiOooh! Then tell me about the beer. I need the full tap lineup before my heart runs to the pub.
Hop BroThe flagship is Bay Pilsner, a World Beer Cup 2025 gold winner. There is Bay Pilsner Hallertau Edition, Tag Lager, Bay Dark, Bay Weiss, and Yuzu Weiss too, so it is a lager-heavy lineup.
MugiHold on, what's Hallertau? That sounds less like a hop and more like a final boss move!
Hop BroHallertau is a classic German hop family. It adds clean floral and grassy notes without wrecking pilsner crispness, basically the honor student of hops.
MugiWow! And Yuzu Weiss won World Beer Cup gold in 2024 and silver in 2025? That trophy shelf is doing a lot for such a cute-sounding beer.
Hop BroThen you also get Weekend Journey, Freestyle, SARA, Sprint IPA, and Steel Soul Fixie, plus Craft Beer Base's Pilsner Northern Style on the 14th tap, so the guest tap slot keeps things interesting.
MugiI'm finished. I want to walk from Kannai Station, sit in that cool pub room, and compare pours while snacking on seafood after work.
Hop BroSame here. I want to start with Bay Pilsner, slip in a Yuzu Weiss, and finish on Northern Style. That sounds like a pint right now.
Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Branch says its refrigeration trouble has been resolved and that beer is back on the regular taps. The post also highlights Chiba-sourced sawara and kinmedai: the sawara is straw-smoked and served as a fragrant seared dish, while the kinmedai is prepared as yubiki.
