Five New Beers Debut at Sapporo's Streetlight Brewing, a Distinctive Lineup Shining in the Soen Taproom
At Streetlight Brewing in Soen, Sapporo, new beer releases are continuing. The latest lineup features a wide range of labels, from the collaboration "TAKAHOA" with Atsumi Peninsula Brewing to sours, hazies, and IPA styles. Another appeal is that you can enjoy them in the factory-adjacent taproom while looking out at the brewing equipment.

MugiWhat, five types at once!? With that many on the menu, I'd be happy but probably collapse from indecision!
Hop BroThe first one to watch is TAKAHOA, made with Atsumi Peninsula Brewing in Aichi. True to an Ordinary Bitter, it brings together soft malt character and a clean hop bitterness.
MugiReally? So Ordinary Bitter is one of those things that's tasty even though the name sounds plain?
Hop BroExactly. Its appeal is that it's easier to drink without getting tired of it than something flashy. The malt sweetness comes first, and the bitterness fades cleanly, so it's the kind you could keep drinking glass after glass.
MugiWow. Then I want to know about the others too! Having sours and IPAs too means the range is pretty wide, right?
Hop BroDefinitely. The Dark Cherry San sour with dark cherry puree brings acidity and fruitiness, Citra IPA puts Citra's citrus character front and center, and Blur The Lines is fun with grapefruit- and passion fruit-like notes.
MugiWow, even the names sound stylish! It's amazing that they're packed with fruit character but still come together properly as beer!
Hop BroAnd SYNCHROHAZED is interesting too, layering Idaho 7's tropical aroma over the roasty character of roasted barley. The clash of bright aroma and toasty depth makes you grin a little.
MugiThat's the best! If you can drink it while looking at the equipment in a factory-adjacent taproom, it sounds like the whole scene tastes good!
Hop BroIt's open from daytime on weekends too, so this really is a place to grab a pint in Soen. Following the new releases, I kind of want a drink too.
