Sakura Taps to Join Bay Brewing's 15th-Anniversary Event in Yokohama
Sakura Taps, the beer pub in Hanasaki-cho, Yokohama, says it will join Bay Brewing's 15th-anniversary event on Yoshidamachi Honchodori this Saturday. The bar will offer smoked nuts, chilled snacks, and event sales of its anniversary beer alongside Sakura Smoked Kitchen.
Hop BroI’ve got my eye on Sakura Taps joining Bay Brewing’s 15th anniversary event this Saturday on Yoshidamachi Main Street.
MugiWait, a 15th anniversary event? That sounds like a full-on party. Is it just beer, or are they bringing food too?
Hop BroThey’re bringing plenty. Together with Sakura Smoked Workshop, they plan to serve smoked nuts and cold bites, plus sell Sakura Taps’ anniversary beer at the event.
MugiSmoked nuts with beer is a dangerous level of temptation. What time does this glorious trap start and end?
Hop BroIt’s on Yoshidamachi Main Street from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m., and they’re even skipping this week’s Juicythings Friday to prep for it.
MugiOkay, but on the tap list, what is Yoshidamachi Helles 2026? That sounds less like beer and more like a spell.
Hop BroImportant distinction: Helles is basically a soft, malty lager. This one’s a collab between Sakura Taps and Numazu Craft, so think easy-drinking rather than aggressively bitter.
MugiAha! Then WC IPA is the opposite, right? The name alone sounds like it kicks the door open.
Hop BroExactly. Derailleur Brew Works’ WC IPA plus West Coast Brewing’s Instant Classic and Freestyle Sandbox Vol.8 are hop-forward bitter beauties, while Ogawa Porter brings roast, Shirosuzume has Akane and Sentakubiyori, and Brewccoly’s Low-Head System rounds out an eight-tap lineup.
MugiSo the pub opens at 3:00 and has no new keg today, but with that lineup and an anniversary beer waiting at the event, I’m clearly not making it home early.
Hop BroOne pint at the Hanazakicho pub, then over to Yoshidamachi for the event; that’s basically the perfect beer-hopping route.
MugiDecision made: I want this Saturday pint. Start with the Helles, grab smoked nuts, and work my way up to the IPA attack!
