Hop BroYokohama's Sakura Taps updated its March 24 lineup and opened three new beers. The whole setup is now eight taps, and it's the kind of list that's fun to compare side by side.
MugiWait, already eight taps!? It's a daily-changing lineup, so I'm going to get tapped out before I can keep up with it. What is that!
Hop BroIt means they swapped in a fresh set after kicking a lot of beers the day before. Sakura Taps is known for a constantly shifting tap composition, and today they've leaned hard into spring.
MugiOhhh! So the new ones are Miura Sakura Ale, Sakura Fluffs, and Obake, right? Even the names are overloaded with seasonal vibes!
Hop BroExactly. Miura Sakura Ale is from Miura Brewery, and it uses cherry blossom leaves and flowers to give the aroma a spring-like lift. It's a really elegant beer that brings a soft hanami mood with it.
MugiCherry blossom leaves and flowers go into beer!? And even the haze and color are seasonal? So the look is basically hanami-themed too.
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Sakura Fluffs is from PECORA BEER, and it uses a lot of cherry blossom leaves, so it leans into spring not just through aroma but through a soft visual impression too. You can really compare how each one expresses sakura differently.
MugiWhoa, even among sakura beers they're totally different!? So it's basically a sakura flavor showdown. And what kind of beer is the other one, Obake?
Hop BroObake is an IPA from Faló Brewing, and it puts the outline of bitterness in front rather than brightness and aroma. Even though it's spring, it still has that solid beer backbone, and that's what makes it good.
MugiNice. If they've got everything from low-ABV beers to IPA, you can pick by mood. There's LEMON RADLER too, so today is definitely a one-stop spring tasting kind of outing. Sounds like a lot of fun!
The beer pub "Sakura Taps," located at 1-16-1 Hanasakicho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, has released its tap information for business on Tuesday, March 24. Following a large number of beers being kicked the previous day, three new beers were connected that day. The shop's signature ever-changing tap lineup has been refreshed with a spring-like selection.
The highlight this time is the two beers that incorporate sakura ingredients. Miura Sakura Ale (Miura Brewery) uses cherry blossom leaves and flowers, giving it a spring-like aroma as it opens up. Sakura Fluffs (PECORA BEER) is designed with plenty of cherry blossom leaves, and its haze and color also reflect the season. The point is that both can be enjoyed while comparing different expressions of "sakura flavor."
The other new arrival, Obake (Faló Brewing), is an IPA that puts the presence of bitterness front and center. It is a build suited for people who want to enjoy not only a lively aroma but also the defining bitterness that makes beer taste like beer.
The full eight-tap lineup for the day is:
- Obake / Faló Brewing
- LEMON RADLER / Baeren Brewery
- Daybreaker / OUR BREWING x GECKO BEER
- Golem / Flora Fermentation
- Sakura Fluffs / PECORA BEER
- Echo Flora / Streetlight Brewing
- Alive / West Coast Brewing
- Miura Sakura Ale / Miura Brewery
From a low-alcohol radler to a hop-forward IPA and limited seasonal beers made with spring ingredients, this is a lineup that lets you cover the "what I want to drink right now" range all in one place, across different temperature and flavor profiles. For a relaxed beer pub where you can trace the changing season through your glass, this is the kind of tap list that fits the day perfectly.
