craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara adds NEKOBEER and CYCAD BREWING taps
craft beer BLUE, a beer pub in Sagamihara, announced two new taps in its latest post. The lineup adds NEKOBEER and CYCAD BREWING, and the 5 p.m. opening makes it an easy stop after work.
Hop Brocraft beer BLUE in Sagamihara just put on two new taps. They open at 5:00 p.m., so it's perfect for a post-work stop.
MugiWait, two fresh pours!? That totally feels like a personality test on which one you pick first!
Hop BroThe new pair is NEKOBEER's Spalnyan X and CYCAD BREWING's Peanut Butter Pota-aro. The names alone are already doing a lot.
MugiWhat even is a Fruits Sour IPA? That sounds like juice and beer lost an argument and merged!
Hop BroHere's the fun part: it's a four-berry mix with strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, and cassis, then layered with hop bitterness on top of the sweet-tart fruit.
MugiNo way, sweet-tart plus bitter in one glass!? That's basically a school festival happening in my mouth!
Hop BroThen Peanut Butter Pota-aro is a Flavored Porter. The peanut powder gives it a nutty aroma, and even with the roast character, the finish stays lighter than you'd expect.
MugiHold on, what does roasty character even mean? Like the beer pops out of the oven yelling, 'I'm done!'?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It's more like dark malt aroma leaning toward coffee and bitter cocoa. That's why starting with NEKOBEER and finishing with CYCAD makes the contrast really pop.
MugiThat lineup sounds perfect! With a 5 p.m. opening, I could head there right after work, start on berries, and finish on peanuts.
Hop BroAnd it's on the second floor of Garden Building II, so you can sip in peace. With hazy and DIPA options too, this is basically a tasting mission now.
MugiDecision made. A berries-to-porter route sounds exactly like the treatment I need tonight!
craft beer BLUE, a beer pub on the second floor in Sagamihara’s Sagamidai area, announced two new taps in its latest post. Service starts at 5 p.m., so it is set up as an easy after-work stop.
The additions are NEKOBEER’s `Spalnyan X ~ Moe yo! Berry Berry MIX! ~` and CYCAD BREWING’s `Peanut Butter Pota-aro`. The first is a Fruits Sour IPA built on strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, and cassis, with berry sweetness and tartness layered over hop bitterness. The second is a Flavored Porter with a roasted, nutty profile from peanut powder, finishing cleaner than you might expect.
The appeal here is the range. One pour leans bright and fruit-forward, the other moves toward roast and depth, so the lineup gives you a clear way to choose by mood. With the pub tucked on the second floor of Garden Building II, the setting also suits a slower drink: settle in, work through the board, and move from fruit-acid brightness into something darker if you want a second glass.
The rest of the board reportedly covers a wide mix of styles, from fruited wheat and hop-driven ales to hazy beers, DIPA, and porter, making craft beer BLUE a practical stop for people who want variety in one visit.
