Yokohama Bay Brewing Totsuka Branch announces 10 in-house beers on its spring tap list
Yokohama Bay Brewing Totsuka Branch posted its tap list for the day on Instagram on April 2. Along with a food recommendation featuring Shinjiri negi, a curly green onion grown in Utsunomiya's Shinjiri district, the lineup includes 10 of its own beers, starting with Bay Pilsner, offering the kind of tasting experience that fits a Totsuka beer pub.
Hop BroToday, the tap list at Yokohama Bay Brewing Totsuka Branch is seriously hot. On Instagram on April 2, they lined up 10 of their own beers in the day's lineup.
MugiWhoa, 10 house beers is a lot, isn't it!? With that many, I'd get tipsy just deciding what to drink first!
Hop BroThe first one to note is Bay Pilsner. It's light and crisp, so it's a great opener that helps set the flow for the whole lineup.
MugiOhhh! But what is a pilsner? It sounds like a spell, and to me it still looks strong just from the name!
Hop BroIn broad terms, a pilsner is a clean, easy-to-drink style of lager. It has a good balance of malt sweetness and hop bitterness, and the appeal is how easily you can keep drinking it.
MugiI see! So if you go from there to Bay Amber or Bay Dark, the color and flavor keep getting deeper and richer, right!
Hop BroExactly. Amber has a toasty malt character, and dark brings even more depth, so even within the same brewery you can really feel the range, which makes it fun. That's the joy of comparing beers side by side.
MugiWow, and they even have Yuzu Weiss!? If there's a refreshing option too, that sounds perfect for resetting your palate partway through!
Hop BroExactly. Weiss has the soft character that comes from wheat, and when you add yuzu aroma, it gives off a spring-like freshness. It should pair nicely with the Shinjiri negi food too.
MugiShinjiri negi food plus 10 beers means it's basically a beer pub feast in Totsuka! I’d start with Bay Pilsner to see how it goes, and before I knew it I'd probably end up trying them all!
Hop BroIn the end, what’s best is that you can enjoy comparing beers side by side with spring ingredients. Start with Bay Pilsner, then wander through the labels that catch your eye, and you’ll probably want just one more by the end of the day.
MugiYeah, I can't hold back anymore! I'm in the mood to drink right now, so take me to the Totsuka branch on the next day off!
