Hop Brocraft beer BLUE in Sagamihara is tapping two guest beers at 5 p.m. today. RIKRI BREWERY's Wallflower and NEKOBEER's Otsumiru 2026ver. are coming on.
MugiWhat! Wallflower and Otsumiru sounds like an indie duo. Which one are we supposed to start with?
Hop BroWallflower first. It's a West Coast IPA with a sharp dry finish, lime-pulp character, and bright aromas like Sauvignon Blanc.
MugiHold on, you just dropped high attenuation like I'm supposed to nod wisely. Am I in chemistry class?
Hop BroBasically, it means the yeast ferments more sugar and finishes crisp. Less sweetness, cleaner snap, and the hop profile stays really clear.
MugiOkay! Then what is DDH Oat Cream supposed to be? That sounds like either beer or fancy moisturizer.
Hop BroDDH is a hopping method that boosts aroma, and Sabro plus Citra give coconut and citrus vibes. The oats also make the mouthfeel soft and hazy.
MugiNo way, so it's soft and juicy but still has that IPA bitterness? That sounds dangerously easy to pair with food.
Hop BroExactly. And today's tap list is basically a tasting playground with BREW CLASSIC, BeEasy, and Repubrew on too, from Saison to Double IPA.
Mugi5 p.m., second floor in Sagamidai, right? I'm already seeing a post-work detour turn into a full mission.
Hop BroStart crisp with Wallflower, then melt into Otsumiru after that. I want a pint right now, and honestly you do too.
The beer pub craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, announced on June 4 that it would tap two beers that day. The new arrivals are RIKRI BREWERY’s “Wallflower” from Tokyo and NEKOBEER’s “Otsumiru ~2026 ver.” from Fukuoka. Both look like beers with a clear aromatic profile and enough structure to make each sip interesting.
RIKRI BREWERY “Wallflower” is a West Coast IPA. The beer is described as having a sharp dry finish driven by high fermentation, with bright notes reminiscent of lime flesh and Sauvignon Blanc. It sounds lean, crisp, and hop-forward, the kind of IPA that should appeal to drinkers looking for a clean edge.
NEKOBEER “Otsumiru ~2026 ver.” is a DDH Oat Cream Hazy IPA brewed with Sabro and Citra. The post highlights Sabro’s coconut-like aroma and Citra’s citrus peel character, along with a refreshing bitterness. With the soft mouthfeel typical of Oat Cream IPA, it should also pair naturally with food.
The tap list on the day also includes BREW CLASSIC “Sairibaa”, BeEasy Brewing “Adohadari”, Repubrew “Chou CAMPai HAZY PALE ALE”, NEKOBEER “Single Neko-san no Single Hop Pale Ale! Rakau ver.”, BREW CLASSIC “Ain't Liquid”, and BrewBeast Brewery “EN de BER”. The range spans Saison, Sudachi Wit, Hazy Pale Ale, Double IPA, and Smoked Amber Ale, giving visitors a broad lineup to compare.
Located on the second floor of a building in Sagamidai, craft beer BLUE is a beer pub that fits an after-work stop as well as a more deliberate tasting visit. The shop’s June 4 update points to service starting at 5 p.m., making it a straightforward place to catch both the hop bite of a West Coast IPA and the softer texture of a hazy cream IPA in one session.
