Sakamichi Brewing shares its weekend tap list with guest kegs and SKYSAW
Tokyo's Sakamichi Brewing shared its weekend tap list on Instagram. The taproom still has low-volume guest kegs from the Japan vs. America IPA contest, while Sakamichi North has brought back SKYSAW, one of the brewery's flagship West Coast IPAs.
Hop BroTachikawa looks hard to ignore this weekend. Sakamichi Brewing's lineup has the IPA contest guest keg almost gone in the taproom, while SKYSAW is back at Sakamichi North.
MugiWait, a nearly empty keg instantly makes me panic! Does guest keg mean a special beer brought in from outside?
Hop BroExactly. The Japan vs. America IPA contest guest keg is still barely hanging on, so this might be the last sprint to sample it and pick a favorite.
MugiWhoa, but West Coast IPA sounds like a geography class. Does it come with sea breeze?
Hop BroNo sea breeze, but plenty of hops. Crisp hop definition means the bitterness and aroma show up sharp and clear. SKYSAW sits right in that classic lane.
MugiOkay, so it's a flagship crowd-pleaser! Even the name sounds intense, like it slices through the air.
Hop BroAnd Sakamichi Brewing makes things fun by pouring different beers across two stationside spots in Tachikawa. Checking which tap list belongs to which location matters.
MugiThat means I need a beer route plan! South exit for the tasting round, north exit for my SKYSAW reunion.
Hop BroThey also said they're open as usual even on a rainy night. Useful tap updates like that are gold when you're deciding where to go.
MugiSeriously, showing up to a sold-out tap is tragic. Last chance to choose a favorite is basically a direct challenge to me.
Hop BroFor IPA fans, this weekend is loaded. Compare the contest beers, then finish with SKYSAW for the clean landing.
MugiThat's it, I'm done pretending to be calm. I want to drink in Tachikawa right now, so let's check the keg status and move!
Sakamichi Brewing, based in Tachikawa, Tokyo, posted an update on its weekend tap lineup on Instagram. The brewery's official site describes it as a Tachikawa operation that brews on site and serves a wide range of contemporary beers through both the taproom and Sakamichi North.
The first item in the post is the remaining guest kegs from the Japan vs. America IPA contest in the taproom. The brewery says the beers are down to very small volumes, making this a likely last chance to sample them and pick a favorite. For drinkers following contest beers and limited pours, that makes the update especially practical.
The other headline is the return of SKYSAW at Sakamichi North. Sakamichi Brewing describes it as one of the brewery's most popular beers and its standard West Coast IPA. If you prefer hop-forward, crisp, and structured IPAs, SKYSAW is the beer in the lineup that best reflects the brewery's house style.
The post also notes that the brewery is open as usual despite the rain. With a taproom near Tachikawa Station's south exit and Sakamichi North on the north side, Sakamichi Brewing continues to use its social channels as a straightforward way to keep regulars updated on what is pouring right now.
