CRAFT BEER BAR plans draft DPA and "Shiga beer" by Kugenuma Coast on Aug. 9
In a post dated August 8, CRAFT BEER BAR announced a relaxed seaside session for Sunday, August 9, at the Surf Village area of Kugenuma Coast, running from noon until around sunset. The note also mentions Cafe Taco Smile’s salsa sauce and a nearby summer festival.
Hop BroLet’s start with CRAFT BEER BAR’s beach plan. On Sunday, August 9, they’re loosely setting up by the Surf Village at Kugenuma Beach to enjoy Shiga Beer from noon until around sunset.
MugiWhat! Beer with an ocean view already sounds like summer winning the championship. Kugenuma Beach is basically a flavor enhancer by itself!
Hop BroThe centerpiece is draft DPA. It’s one of Shiga Beer, meaning Shiga Kogen Beer’s signature pours, a well-balanced ale that stays easy to drink.
MugiWait, what is DPA? That sounds like a spell. If I say it wrong, does the foam triple or something?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a drinkable pale ale. Draft means it’s poured fresh from the keg, and DPA has a lively hop aroma with balanced bitterness, so it goes down smoothly even at the beach.
MugiOhhh, goes down smoothly is exactly the kind of phrase that makes my throat start warming up on its own. The dangerous part might be me, not the heat!
Hop BroWhat I like is the vibe: from noon to sunset doesn’t mean pushing hard. The article frames it as taking it easy, checking the heat, reading, napping, and pouring a glass now and then.
MugiA beer event with scheduled nap energy is incredible. So it’s not a hardcore drinking marathon, it’s more like letting the Shonan breeze run the show!
Hop BroAnd right nearby there’s Cafe Taco Smile’s salsa. Hops plus spicy acidity can suddenly turn into the perfect pairing when you’re on site.
MugiWow, beer and tacos is just unfair. And if there’s a summer festival by the shrine on the way back, with idols singing and a magician too, that whole evening is basically built already.
Hop BroBeachside Shiga Beer, festival sounds, and the evening sky make a very Shonan scene. That kind of natural, low-pressure drink is the one that sticks in your memory.
MugiThat settles it, I’m already having my sunset pint in my head. I’d absolutely drink that draft DPA, even if the sea breeze destroys my hair first!
A mellow summer pour by the sea
CRAFT BEER BAR, a beer pub in Naka Ward, Yokohama, highlighted a low-key seaside beer session for Sunday, August 9. According to the post, "Shiga beer" will be served at Kugenuma Coast, next to Surf Village, from noon until around sunset. The tone is intentionally relaxed, with the bar planning to take things slowly depending on the heat.
The featured draft is DPA. The entry frames the day around summer conditions rather than hype: the writer mentions the intense heat, reading, naps, and occasional pours, which fits the pub’s unpretentious approach to beer. It is a simple setup, but one that beer fans will recognize immediately, especially when the weather is doing its own thing.
There are also local summer details around the event. Cafe Taco Smile, located nearby, is mentioned for its salsa sauce, and a neighboring shrine festival is described as well, complete with live singing by an idol and a magician show. Beach, beer, and a matsuri in one evening is a very Shonan kind of scene.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the venue’s official channels for the latest details.
