Craftbeer Sloth House posts a seven-beer tap list with Shiga Kogen and WCB
Craftbeer Sloth House/Sloth House in Tsurumachi, Yokohama, shared its beer list for Friday, August 21. The lineup spans seven beers from Shiga Kogen Beer, West Coast Brewing, Totopia Brewery, Ise Kadoya Brewery, and Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu, covering lager, hazy styles, kolsch, and fruit beer.
Hop BroCraftbeer Sloth House in Tarumachi, Yokohama just dropped a seven-tap lineup, and it runs from Shiga Kogen to WCB, Totopia, Isekadoya, and Oni Densetsu.
MugiWhat! That's basically a festival-level roster. Is it all hazy stuff, or do they have lagers too?
Hop BroIt's nicely spread out. Shiga Kogen's "SHIGA KOGEN HELLES!?" is a Helles Lager, WCB's "Cloud 7" is a Hazy Double IPA, and Totopia's "Luckphobia" is a DDH Hazy Pale Ale.
MugiHold on, what is DDH? That sounds less like beer and more like a spell with a mana cost.
Hop BroDDH means extra dry hopping, so the aroma gets cranked up. And Helles is basically a soft golden lager, easygoing and dangerously drinkable.
MugiOooh, then I need your staff picks. Which pours are stealing the show?
Hop BroFirst up is "SHIGA KOGEN HELLES!?". It's built on German pilsner malt, traditional aroma hops, and Shinshu Wase, so it's classic with a twist.
Hop BroThen there's WCB's seventh-anniversary "Cloud 7", throwing peach, nectarine, pineapple, and mango in this full tropical blast of aroma.
MugiWhat is that, a beer or a fruit stand opening in my glass? But "Sakekasu Hazy IPA ZAKU Natsuzake" as a sake-lees hazy is breaking my brain a little!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It brings ginjo-like aromatics from sake lees and a white-wine vibe, while WCB's "Pool Cooler" is a Kolsch w/Lemon with bright lemon and lemongrass. Add the bring-your-own-food ease and it's a seriously relaxed stop: 5 to 11 p.m., cash only, beer in plastic cups.
MugiAnd if you finish with Oni Densetsu's "金鬼ペールエール スーパーデリックシングルVer." and "スイートストロベリー Sweet Strawberry," that's basically a ready-made tasting flight. I want in immediately.
Hop BroSame here. Start with the NZ-hop snap of "金鬼ペールエール スーパーデリックシングルVer.", close with the strawberry aroma and crisp tartness of "スイートストロベリー Sweet Strawberry," and tonight's first stop pretty much has to be Sloth House.
