BAMBOO 4 Reveals an 8-Beer Tap List on April 23, with No New Kegs Tapped
BAMBOO 4 Craft Beer & Mexican in Sakuragicho, Yokohama, released its April 23 service notice and today’s tap list. While there are no new taps, the lineup of eight distinctive beers from THE BLISS BREWERY and Totopia Brewery is something to enjoy alongside tacos.
Hop BroToday's BAMBOO 4 tap list in Yokohama's Sakuragicho is hot. In the April 23 notice, there are no new taps, but the lineup of eight is pretty aggressive, right?
MugiWait, even with no new taps it's that exciting? So that means the beers already there are strong!?
Hop BroExactly. It has everything from THE BLISS BREWERY's Instinct to Totopia Brewery's Biasphobia, so there's a lot of range. It really shows the shop's taste, with fruit beers, bitters, and sours lined up together.
MugiHuh! But sour ale means the sour one, right? That makes me a little nervous. Is it easy to drink?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: a whey sour ale is all about balancing milky richness and acidity. And with strawberry, this time it's the super rich version, so you can take a dessert-like detour.
MugiWhat is that? The sound of super rich version already feels thick! It sounds like strawberry milk, but it still seems like a proper beer, which makes me curious!
Hop BroAnd don't miss Outsider Brewing's CHERRY BOY being NEW either. Once cherry fruitiness comes in, it's the kind of beer that sour fans and sweeter palates both reach for.
MugiWow, just hearing about a cherry beer makes it cute! But does something that sounds that sweet really go with tacos?
Hop BroThat's where BAMBOO 4's strength comes in. Since there are tacos like jerk chicken, carnitas, and shrimp, the spice and meaty umami are naturally matched by sour and bitter beers.
MugiI see, so it's set up with tacos in mind! The Komagome Best Bitter sounds interesting too, and now I definitely feel like making a stop there.
Hop BroExactly: the nice thing is that it works both as one stop after work and as a place to compare different beers. So next time, let's head to Sakuragicho and work through the eight one by one with tacos in hand.
MugiYeah, I want to drink right now! Today at BAMBOO 4, I want to try every beer that catches my eye!
April 23 Tap List
In its Thursday, April 23 post, BAMBOO 4 announced that there would be "no new taps today" while unveiling today's tap list. True to the shop, where craft beer and Mexican food can be enjoyed together near Sakuragicho Station, the lineup is easy to choose from whether you want a beer on its own or paired with food.
The day's lineup spans a wide range, from fruit-forward to bitter to distinctive sours. Highlights include Sankt Gallenbrewery's "Whey Sour Ale Strawberry," introduced as a super rich version, and Outsider Brewing's "CHERRY BOY," listed as NEW.
