Sakura Taps Opens Two New Beers from Barbaric Works and Nara Brewing
Yokohama beer pub Sakura Taps tapped two new beers on Wednesday, April 22. The lineup featured Barbaric Works' "The Spider Thread," brewed with foeder-derived acidity and woody character, and Nara Brewing's "LIGHTHOUSE," a lower-ABV beer that highlights the aroma of roasted malt.
Hop BroAt Sakura Taps in Yokohama, the new tap on April 22 is interesting. Barbaric Works' The Spider Thread and Nara Brewing's LIGHTHOUSE are lined up.
MugiWhoa, both sound interesting! Two beers with different personalities? That's already a taste-comparison job!
Hop BroExactly. The Spider Thread centers on the acidity from foeder brewing, with a soft woody aroma layered on top.
MugiA foeder, what's that! Is it like a barrel? This suddenly sounds like a construction site!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a big wooden cask. The aroma of wild yeast is layered onto that, and a small amount of barrel-aged beer is blended in to balance the acidity and body.
MugiWow, it's stylish but difficult! When you say "youthful and fresh," it makes me want to try it.
Hop BroMeanwhile, LIGHTHOUSE is a dark beer themed around the porter that originated in 18th-century London, with the toasty aroma of roasted malt taking center stage.
MugiI thought dark beer would be heavy, but with a lower-ABV design, I might be able to handle it! And it's not just bitter.
Hop BroBecause it uses multiple roasted malts, the aroma comes out in layers behind the bitterness. Sakura Taps has eight rotating taps and coffee too, so it's a good place to compare them slowly.
MugiThat's almost unfair! If it's "perfect for a spring day," then I have no choice but to stop by today!
Hop BroThen today, let's compare their personalities in a glass, starting with the acidic The Spider Thread or the toasty LIGHTHOUSE.
MugiYeah, just imagining it makes my throat want it! I want to try them side by side right now, and I'm starting to want to go to Yokohama!
At Sakura Taps in Yokohama, two new draft beers were tapped on Wednesday, April 22. The interior has a calm atmosphere, and the craft beer selection includes eight rotating taps each day. Hand-drip coffee is also available, making it a beer pub well suited to days when you want to slowly sip your glass.
This time's highlights are two beers with very different personalities.
- The Spider Thread / Barbaric Works
Brewed in a foeder in collaboration with Asuka Nisinaka, who is part of BET and also works as a phantom brewery operator. The aroma derived from wild yeast is layered with woody nuances, creating a youthful, fresh impression. In addition, a small blend of barrel-aged beer was added to balance the acidity and body.
- LIGHTHOUSE / Nara Brewing
A porter-themed beer inspired by the style born in 18th-century London, with the toasty aroma of roasted malt as its hallmark. Though it is a “micro” design with a lower ABV, using multiple roasted malts gives it layered aromas and variation within its bitterness. It is being recommended even for people who do not usually like dark beer.
Sakura Taps' signature is that it offers a solid range of beers while also letting guests spend time slowly with food and coffee included. These two beers were also introduced in a post as “perfect for a fresh, warm spring day.” Whether you want to enjoy foeder-derived acidity or prefer a roasted palate, this tapping makes you want to compare their different characters in a glass.
