KEG-NAGOYA refreshes its tap list with Baeren, DD4D and Minoh beers
At KEG-NAGOYA, a beer pub in Higashisakura, Nagoya, the tap list has been refreshed after a private booking before service. The current lineup features beers from Baeren, DD4D, Minoh and Matsumoto Brewery, with additional low-stock pours from Shima, Baird and Camado.
Hop BroToday’s story is KEG-NAGOYA’s fresh taps. In Higashisakura, Nagoya, a pre-opening private event triggered a big swap, and seven beers rotated in at once.
MugiWhat! Seven beers swapped at once? That sounds busier than a school festival booth. Does KEG-NAGOYA move that fast all the time?
Hop BroIt does, because it’s a 13-tap beer pub with quick turnover. The current headliners are Baeren’s Dortmunder, DD4D’s Hibiscus Gose, Minoh Beer’s Kozaru IPA, and Matsumoto Brewery’s Traditional Bitter.
MugiHold on, Dortmunder and Gose sound like spell names from a fantasy game!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The style differences are huge: Dortmunder is a crisp lager with solid malt character, while Gose brings gentle salinity and tartness, and this one gets a floral lift from hibiscus.
MugiWhoa, so it goes from crisp to floral just like that. Then what kind of personalities do Kozaru IPA and Traditional Bitter have?
Hop BroKozaru IPA is a session IPA, so it drinks lightly but still has a proper hop aroma. Traditional Bitter leans more pub-like, with toasty notes and gentle bitterness that works well with food.
MugiWait, session IPA sounds like a club meeting, but it basically means an IPA you can keep happily sipping, right?!
Hop BroThat’s basically it. It’s an IPA with lower alcohol so it doesn’t wear you out. And there are limited pours too: Shima Jozo’s Karigane Tea Saison, Baird’s Citrus IPA, and Kamado’s Weizen Meister.
MugiWow, Karigane Tea Saison has my full attention. A tea nuance in beer? That suddenly turned into a very classy Japanese cafe situation.
Hop BroAnd those last three pours are no joke either. The saison brings tea-like character, Baird’s IPA pushes bright citrus, and Kamado’s Weizen Meister has that soft wheat texture. I already want a glass right now.
MugiI’m ready to toast with DD4D. I want to chase Kozaru IPA and that tea saison too, so this is basically a direct order to head to KEG-NAGOYA now!
Following a private booking before opening, KEG-NAGOYA has updated its tap list. The current lineup puts Baeren Brewery's Dortmunder, DD4D Brewing's Hibiscus Gose, Minoh Beer’s Kozaru IPA, and Matsumoto Brewery's Traditional Bitter front and center. With lager, gose, session IPA and bitter all on tap, the selection works well for both food pairing and side-by-side tasting.
Listed as running low are Shima Brewery’s Kari-gane Tea Saison, Baird Beer’s Citrus IPA, and Camado Brewery’s Weizen Master. The range is nicely varied: a tea-driven saison, a citrus-forward IPA, and a wheat beer with a softer profile. Because the lineup changes quickly here, anyone interested in a particular beer will want to stop by sooner rather than later.
