craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara adds five new taps on July 7
At craft beer BLUE, a beer pub in Sagamihara, five new beers were introduced on July 7. The lineup now spans Saison, Session IPA, West Coast IPA, Juicy IPA, Hazy IPA, and a stout, with service starting at 5 p.m.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the July 7 tapping rush at craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara: five fresh beers came on at once, filling all eight taps with seasonal IPAs and a Saison.
MugiWhat! Five new taps at once is basically a festival! If they do that on a second-floor pub in Sōmodai, I’m not making it home after one pint.
Hop BroThe new lineup runs from Malcove to Get Goal! with a Saison, Session IPA, West Coast IPA, Juicy IPA, and Hazy IPA, so the range in aroma and mouthfeel is huge.
MugiWait, what is a dry finish? Is the beer somehow doing laundry now?!
Hop BroIt just means a crisp finish where the sweetness doesn’t cling. West Coast IPA is sharper and more bitter, while Session IPA is lighter and easy to sip slowly.
MugiOoh! So 3TREE BREWERY’s Malcove is basically full tropical mode? Even Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin sound overpowered.
Hop BroExactly. Malcove leans juicy, and Latticework BREWING’s 19 Blues gives grapefruit and stone-fruit vibes in a Session IPA that’s perfect for slow sipping.
MugiAnd open air’s onward is the final recipe from former head brewer Ben? Why does this tap list suddenly have movie-trailer energy?
Hop BroThat’s the drama. onward brings classic bitterness with modern juiciness, while RIKRI BREWERY’s Selfless stacks lime and mint layers, and U.B.P BREWERY’s Get Goal! brings peachy Hazy IPA energy for summer.
MugiThat is way too much aroma information for one brain, but summer-ready hazy is absolutely my lane.
Hop BroAnd the extra taps include Repubrew’s MOMOSAIC HAZY SOUR, GANGI BREWING’s OH SNAP!, and GROUNDTAP BREWERY’s CITRUS STOUT, so it covers from light to rich. Honestly, I want a full tasting run already.
MugiThen it’s settled: start with the Saison, finish with CITRUS STOUT, squeeze onward in the middle, and go for the full tasting course at craft beer BLUE.
On July 7, craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara added five new taps and said it would open from 5 p.m. The shop sits on the second floor in Sagamidai, making it a place for a slow, focused tasting session rather than a quick stop.
The five newly tapped beers are 3TREE BREWERY “Malcove,” Latticework BREWING “19 Blues,” RIKRI BREWERY “Selfless,” open air “onward,” and U.B.P BREWERY “Get Goal!”. The styles cover Saison, Session IPA, West Coast IPA, Juicy IPA, and Hazy IPA, so the board offers a wide range of aroma and bitterness.
Among them, “Malcove” is described as a juicy, tropical Saison built on Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin hops. “19 Blues” leans into grapefruit and stone-fruit aromatics and is positioned as an easygoing Session IPA. “Selfless” brings sweet lime, orange, and a menthol-like note, while “onward” is presented as the final recipe from former head brewer Ben, balancing classic IPA bitterness with a modern juicy profile. “Get Goal!” uses Mosaic and Citra and is framed as a peachy, summer-friendly Hazy IPA.
The tap list also includes Repubrew “MOMOSAIC HAZY SOUR,” GANGI BREWING “OH SNAP!,” and GROUNDTAP BREWERY “CITRUS STOUT.” That mix adds a sour, a West Coast Pils, and a stout, giving drinkers options from bright and light to darker and fuller-bodied.
