Craft Beer Kitchen 心の月 posts a six-beer tap list for July 9
Craft Beer Kitchen 心の月 in Miyakawacho, Yokohama, posted its July 9 tap list. The lineup includes six beers from Garden Path Fermentation, Devil Craft Brewery, 忽布古丹醸造, 小田原 Garage Brewing, and Fort George Brewery, alongside Chinese-style bar food.
Hop BroMiyagawacho's Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki just dropped its six-beer tap list for July 9. With Garden Path and Fort George on there, this is the kind of lineup that makes you want a full tasting session.
MugiWhat! Chinese snacks and six taps at the same time? I already can't choose a beer, and now you're adding steamed chicken with green peppercorn sauce and mapo tofu too? My brain is overloaded!
Hop BroThe balance is good. It's a domestic-and-import mix with Garden Path Fermentation's "The Twisted Branch Out," Devil Craft Brewery's "Seize the Throne," Hobukotan Brewery's "Koumokuten Bakushu" and "epana," Odawara Garage Brewing's "8 Beat," and Fort George Brewery's "Sherman IPA."
MugiThose names sound like a boss battle lineup! What kind of beer is Sherman IPA, exactly? Also, you're talking like the soundtrack of a beer bar right now.
Hop BroSherman IPA is almost certainly a hop-forward IPA at first glance. That's a style built around bitterness and citrusy hop aroma, and having one clear anchor like that gives the whole tap list more shape.
MugiWhoa, okay! But when the shop says clean beer, that doesn't mean the glass is extra shiny, right? We're not talking about some polishing championship?
Hop BroThat's the key point. It means very little off-flavor and a clear flavor profile. That's why it pairs so well with delicate dishes like steamed chicken with green peppercorn and scallion sauce, or fried eggplant with ginger soy.
MugiOhh, so that's what food pairing strategy means! Then maybe something bold for the mapo tofu, and something aroma-driven for the Shanghai-style fried noodles or drool-worthy wontons. I want a full game plan now!
Hop BroExactly, and opening at 3 p.m. helps too. You can build from first pour to third really naturally, start light, then let the food pull you deeper. Comparing Hobukotan's two beers side by side sounds especially good.
MugiThen it's settled! We're doing a straight shot to Kokoro no Tsuki, and even if I say I'll just have one easy drink, I already know I'm going to be curious about all six.
Hop BroI'm ready to start with Sherman IPA and mapo tofu. If I move from that into "8 Beat" and "epana," I'll probably be in a very good mood by the time I leave.
MugiI'm going with steamed chicken first and then charging straight into the Shanghai-style fried noodles. After reading this, not wanting a drink would be impossible!
A six-tap lineup for July 9
Craft Beer Kitchen 心の月 shared a six-beer tap list for July 9: Garden Path Fermentation “The Twisted Branch Out”, Devil Craft Brewery “Seize the Throne”, 忽布古丹醸造 “広目天麦酒”, 小田原 Garage Brewing “8 Beat”, Fort George Brewery “Sherman IPA”, and 忽布古丹醸造 “epana”. The list brings together Japanese and overseas breweries, making it easy to compare different flavor directions in one visit.
The shop is a beer pub in Yokohama’s Miyakawacho area, and its Instagram bio emphasizes craft beer with Chinese bites. That pairing shows up clearly in the post as well, with dishes such as steamed chicken with green sansho and scallion sauce, eggplant with ginger soy sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style fried noodles, ginger chicken, and yodare wonton.
The post also notes a Thursday, July 9, opening at 3 p.m., which makes it a convenient stop for an early pint and food pairing session before the evening crowd arrives.
