Kobe Motomachi's Beer Space On Tap Opens Seven Taps Including TAISETSU BEER's Sorachi Ale
The Kobe Motomachi beer pub "Beer Space On Tap" announced new taps along with its Saturday business hours. Seven taps are now on offer, including Hokkaido's TAISETSU BEER "Sorachi Ale," creating a lineup well suited for daytime drinking.
Hop BroA Saturday 3 p.m. opening in Kobe's Motomachi really hits the spot for daytime drinkers. Beer Space On Tap, the basement beer pub, has updated its taps again at just the right time.
MugiWait, being able to drink from the afternoon is amazing! And with seven beers on tap, it's the kind of lineup where the fun starts before you even decide what to order.
Hop BroThis time's star is TAISETSU BEER's Sorachi Ale. It's the brewery's first appearance at the shop, and it really shows the well-balanced character of an American pale ale.
MugiWhat does an American pale ale actually taste like? It sounds strong just from the name, but can you really tell what the hop aroma is like?
Hop BroThat's the thing: the Citra and Mosaic hops bring out a citrusy, muscat-like aroma. The bitterness is moderate, and the body is light. In other words, it has a bold aroma but an easy-drinking feel.
MugiOhh, that sounds fruity and easy to drink! And if it has that gentle malt richness too, then it feels like something to savor slowly instead of rushing through.
Hop BroAnd the surrounding lineup is good too. You have BLACK TIDE BREWING's Hazy Wave, TAROS BREWING's "INNOCENCE 2026," and even Nara Brewing's "LOCOMOTION," so it's easy to compare beers with very different directions.
MugiWhat is that, a tasting showdown? And if there's something like a NITRO ver. in the mix, the texture of the foam has to feel different too. Now I'm curious!
Hop BroExactly. With Uchoten Brewing's "Jazz (NITRO ver.)" and T.Y HARBOR BREWERY's "Wheat Ale" also on the board, the lineup makes the comparison axis really clear. The quiet basement atmosphere makes it strong as a place where you can choose carefully from the very first glass.
MugiIf they show me that in Motomachi, I'm done for! Today has to start with Sorachi Ale, and by the end we'll be meeting up in front of the taps as a pair.
