craft beer BLUE taps FUJIYAMA HUNTERS BEER's Oketsu IPA
In a post dated August 21, craft beer BLUE, a beer pub in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, announced one new tap: FUJIYAMA HUNTERS BEER's Oketsu IPA. The peach-forward Peach IPA joins an eight-beer tap list.
Hop BroToday’s headline is a good one: craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara just tapped FUJIYAMA HUNTERS BEER’s Oketsu IPA release. It’s a Peach IPA made with peaches from Yamanashi, and they’ve got eight taps from 5 p.m., which is a strong argument for an unplanned stop.
MugiWhat! Oketsu IPA is such a wild name! And a peach IPA? My brain can’t decide if that means sweet, bitter, or total chaos!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It uses Yamanashi-grown peaches, so you get this overflowing juicy peach character up front. But it still keeps that pleasant IPA bitterness, so it doesn’t just drink like fruit juice.
MugiWhoa, okay, but what is juicy character supposed to mean? Like, do you sip it and suddenly a peach starts doing aerobics in your mouth?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s not far off. The source of that juiciness is more about aroma and texture making it feel like you bit into a peach, not just straight sugar. Then the rich, creamy sweetness rounds into the bitterness.
MugiNo way, biting-into-a-peach vibes? That instantly makes me want one. It sounds like the perfect late-summer reward IPA!
Hop BroAnd the rest of the tap list is stacked too. PAINT PALETTE BREWING’s Rain Afterglow uses ginger and red shiso with amanatsu peel in a Farmhouse Ale, and TALL BOYS BREWING brought one called Hangover Demo IPA. The naming energy is intense.
MugiHold on, Hangover Demo IPA is not a gentle title at all. And there’s also one called “I Am a Hazy, I Have No Name Yet.” This tap list feels like a comedy tournament!
Hop BroThe nice part is that it’s not just jokes, it’s balanced. You’ve got IPA to stout range on the board, plus hazy and wheat styles, so starting with Oketsu IPA and working through the list actually makes a lot of sense.
MugiThat settles it. I want to stand in front of those eight taps on deck at craft beer BLUE and start with Oketsu IPA. Peach aroma, good bitterness, 5 p.m. onward... I’d get pulled in immediately!
