According to a post from SAKURAYAMA BEER, a beer pub in Sakurayama-cho, Showa Ward, Nagoya, a rye IPA from Shiokaze Blue Lab Brewery was newly tapped as of 6:00 p.m. on March 15. The label is also shown in the hashtags as "Rye Voltage".

A rye IPA is a style that layers the hop-driven aroma and bitterness of a typical IPA with the spicy nuance and dry finish brought by rye. It pairs well with food, and its appeal lies in offering both a strong first impression and an easygoing drinkability from the second glass onward. When it appears as a guest keg like this, it changes the usual tap lineup and brings out the shop’s character even more.

For people who want to take their time enjoying craft beer in the Sakurayama area, SAKURAYAMA BEER’s strength is how easy it is to track information about a “one keg available right now” beer like this. The post also clearly states that the bar is open until midnight that day, making it easy to stop by even in the evening. If you’re after the guest beer, it’s best to consider visiting early, before the tap lineup changes.
