Yokohama Bay Brewing Totsuka Branch Refreshes 14 Taps, Including Oni Densetsu and Nara Brewing
A post dated April 18 from Yokohama Bay Brewing's Totsuka branch announced an update to the tap list. Fourteen labels, including Oni Densetsu, Nara Brewing, Shiga Kogen Beer, and WEST COAST BREWING, were listed, and on April 26 there was also an announcement for a chicken-dish event.
Hop BroAt Yokohama Bay Brewing's Totsuka branch, a 14-tap refresh has arrived. They’re going in pretty hard with a lineup that ranges from IPA to saison to amber.
MugiWhoa! Fourteen kinds? That’s not a fridge anymore, it’s basically a beer department store! What am I supposed to start with?
Hop BroWhat catches the eye first is Oni Densetsu’s Shishigami Oni IPA and Kinoni Pale Ale Krush single ver. They’re great at putting the hop aroma front and center while showing off the character of a single variety.
MugiSingle ver.? What is that, like singing solo? But Krush single sounds kind of strong!
Hop BroGood one. Single ver. means making one hop the star. That makes the aroma easier to pick out, so it’s ideal for comparing hop character.
MugiOhh! Then I’m also curious about Nara Brewing’s LIGHTHOUSE nitro ver.! Nitro is like a super-carbonated café latte kind of thing, right?
Hop BroPretty much. Because it uses nitrogen, the foam gets finer and the mouthfeel becomes smoother. That’s why it really hits the spot for people who want a creamy drinking texture.
MugiI see! And they even have Shiga Kogen Beer’s SNOW MONKEY IPA too? It already feels like I’m on a trip!
Hop BroExactly. With WEST COAST BREWING’s BEATSSEEKER, Minoh Beer’s HONEY SAISON, and Behemoth’s HAZE JUICE also on the list, the range of styles is really wide. It’s a lineup that makes the fun of tasting Japanese craft beers feel that much richer.
MugiThey’ve even got Swan Lake Beer’s Amber Swan Ale in there, so it feels like everything from sweet to full-on aroma bombs is covered! This is the kind of day where just choosing is fun!
Hop BroOn top of that, there’s a chicken-dish event announced for April 26, so you can enjoy how the beers pair with food too. In Kamikurata, Totsuka, they’ve made sure there’s a reason to come drink.
MugiI can’t take it anymore, my throat started reacting just from reading! It makes me want to say, one drink tonight in Totsuka!
