Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Honten posts 14-beer tap list with Tag Lager
Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Honten has shared a 14-beer tap list. The board includes the new Tag Lager and award-winning house beers such as Bay Pilsner and Yuzu Weiss, while some pours are temporarily unavailable due to a refrigeration issue.
Hop BroWhat has my attention right now is 14 taps at Kannai. Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Store rolled out a mostly house-made lineup, and they even slipped a new beer into it.
MugiWait, fourteen beers on tap? That is a full adventure board! If they have pilsner, weisse, and IPA, even a beginner like me could have fun tasting around!
Hop BroThe star this time is the new Tag Lager. It is a Czech-style pale lager, and it is exactly the kind of pour lager fans should lock onto first.
MugiWhat is that! Czech-style pale lager sounds like I am about to be graded. What kind of flavor am I supposed to imagine?
Hop BroLess flashy bitterness, more malt and aroma balance. It also uses a double decoction mash, which pulls extra depth and grain character out of the beer.
MugiThere it is, double decoction mash! That sounds absurdly powerful! So it basically means an extra brewing step to make the malt taste richer?
Hop BroThat is pretty much it. It also uses Tettnang and Saphir German hops, which push the aroma in a polished, elegant direction.
MugiOoh, and if Bay Pilsner and Yuzu Weisse are on the list too, with those awards behind them, I am going to freeze in front of the tap board.
Hop BroSmall catch though: there is a refrigeration equipment issue right now. Bay Pilsner, Tag Lager, and Bay Dark are being poured through ice-cooled servers, while the Hallertau edition and Freestyle are temporarily off.
MugiAn ice-cooled server pour sounds like emergency mode and premium mode at the same time. That kind of makes the lager even more tempting!
Hop BroExactly. I would happily make ice-cold Tag Lager my first glass, then move to Bay Pilsner and finish with Yuzu Weisse.
MugiThen it is settled! A quick drink in Kannai is turning into at least three beers, and now I seriously want to go to Yokohama Bay Brewing.
A 14-beer lineup in Kannai
Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Honten, a beer pub in central Yokohama, has published its latest beer menu. The lineup spans 14 beers, led by the brewery's own lagers, wheat beers, and IPA, plus a couple of guest beers from Craft Beer Base.
The headline addition is `Tag Lager`, a Czech-style pale lager. According to the post, it uses a double-decoction process and German hops such as Tettnang and Saphir, aiming for a layered malt profile with a bright hop aroma. For lager drinkers, it looks like the most notable new pour on the board.
The post also notes a refrigeration problem at the shop. As a result, some beers are temporarily unavailable, and several are being served through an ice-cold server instead. The currently highlighted pours are `Bay Pilsner`, `Tag Lager`, and `Bay Dark` on ice-cold service, while `Bay Pilsner Harataw Edition` and `Freestyle` are listed as temporarily unavailable.
