Hop BroAt Sakura Taps in Hanasakicho, Yokohama, the 8-tap update has come in. From Barbaric Works to Nara Brewing, this is the kind of lineup that makes side-by-side tasting fun.
MugiWhoa, eight labels on the board!? If I chase that many beers with totally different personalities in one place, my tongue is going to start a committee!
Hop BroAnd the stars of this round are Barbaric Works' The Spider Thread and Sakura Taps x Numazu Craft's Yoshidacho Helles 2026.
MugiHuh, Yoshidacho Helles 2026 sounds like a model student, but what kind of beer is a Helles?
Hop BroA Helles is basically a clean, easy-drinking lager. It has a nice malt sweetness, but it's not heavy, and that's what makes it easy to drink every day.
MugiI get that, but the moment you say hop expression, things suddenly get difficult! Hop bro, explain that in words I can understand!
Hop BroGot it. The Spider Thread and Mystic Tiger are the kind of beers whose aroma and bitterness come through in distinctive ways, the sort that make you go, 'Oh!' every time you drink them.
MugiOkay, so that means they're full of distinct personalities! And with Nara Brewing's FUNCTION and Grandline Brewing's Salud Amigos! in the mix too, the lineup alone is already fun!
Hop BroExactly. With Uchoten Brewing's Jazz and Baeren x Highbury's ONMEN BRÄU too, it's nice that they show off both collaboration beers and solo releases.
MugiAnd Sakura Taps is also amazing because it's easy to stop by after work! It's the kind of place where you say, 'Just one drink today...' and then end up having two anyway!
Hop BroThat flow is exactly right. If you can follow the day's casks between Sakuragicho and Kannai, then tonight I already want to have a drink at Sakura Taps.
MugiYeah, I want to go too! There's so much worth comparing side by side that my heart is already toasting the moment I see the menu!
