craft beer BLUE adds TWO RABBITS and SHARED BREWERY taps in Sagamihara
On June 6, craft beer BLUE, a beer pub in Sagamidai, Sagamihara, announced two new taps. The additions are TWO RABBITS BREWING COMPANY's HOP ZOMBIE TROPICAL FUSION and SHARED BREWERY's Tropical Escape, updating the weekend lineup.
Hop BroUp on the second floor in Sagamidai, craft beer BLUE just added two fresh taps. The whole weekend lineup suddenly feels tropical.
MugiWait, a tropical weekend? What is that even! The beer names alone are making me want summer clothes.
Hop BroFirst up is TWO RABBITS BREWING COMPANY from Shiga with HOP ZOMBIE TROPICAL FUSION. It is a Hazy Pale Ale built around NZ Tropical Fusion hops, plus Citra and Columbus.
MugiHold on, Hazy Pale Ale sounds cool, but what does it actually taste like? Are we drinking fog now?
Hop BroNot actual fog. It has a silky mouthfeel, with ripe mango, passion fruit, and citrus up front, but the body stays light and easy.
MugiOh wow, full-on mango vibes but still light? That is basically a tropical juice costume for beer.
Hop BroThe other one is SHARED BREWERY from Tokyo pouring Tropical Escape. This one is a Juicy West Coast IPA with a gold color and layers of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit aroma.
MugiThere it is again, hop-forward! So the hops are marching in first like a parade? With drums?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It means hops lead the show. The malt stays simple in the background while the bright citrus and pine character step forward.
MugiGot it! And the rest is a wide tap lineup too, right? Saison, Sudachi Wit, Double IPA, even Smoked Amber Ale. I would panic in the best way.
Hop BroService starts at 3 p.m. on Saturday, and the range is seriously strong. For me, these two are a side-by-side flight waiting to happen.
MugiThen it is settled. At craft beer BLUE, we are doing a tropical showdown. I want both HOP ZOMBIE and Tropical Escape right now.
