craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara announced two new taps in a June 27 post: NOVORU’s “AsobeⅡ” and NEKOBEER’s “Clear Nekoliquid Hyper.” The beer pub opens from 3 p.m. on Saturdays, and the current lineup spans saison, gose, XPA, and more.
Hop Brocraft beer BLUE in Sagamidai just announced two new taps. The June 27 post says they open at 3 PM on Saturdays, which is a very solid life choice.
MugiWhat! A 3 PM Saturday opening is dangerously convenient. So what are the new beers?
Hop BroFirst is NOVORU’s Asobe II, a TDH Hazy Pale Ale. It layers Nelson Sauvin, Citra, Mosaic Hyperboost and more, so you get white grape, ripe tropical fruit, and citrus all stacked together.
MugiHold on, what is TDH? You said that way too casually for something that sounds like brewery wizard code.
Hop BroTDH means Triple Dry Hopped. It’s basically adding hops in multiple stages to build a thicker aroma, and with Asobe II that turns into a juicy, soft-drinking finish.
MugiOkay, then what about Clear Neko Liquid Hyper? That name sounds like a cat-themed special attack.
Hop BroThat one’s from NEKOBEER, a TDH West Coast IPA. It uses Hopkief, a liquid hop product, and they say the aroma starts jumping out while it’s still being poured.
MugiWait, what is Hopkief? We’ve officially entered a universe where the hops are attacking before the beer even lands in the glass.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a liquid hop extract that pushes aroma really clearly. And the full tap list is broad too: saison, lychee gose, XPA, even rauchbier, so the lineup is easy to compare across styles.
MugiThat’s a wild range of styles. Crisp stuff, sour stuff, hop bombs, then smoky beer at the end? Even the decision-making sounds delicious.
Hop BroHere’s the move: start with saison or gose, then hit Asobe II and Neko for the hop showcase. If they open at 3 PM, that plan deserves immediate execution.
MugiDone. We’re going to secure the first pint. The juicy white-grape haze and the IPA that smells loud mid-pour already have me thirsty.
