BAMBOO 4 unveils 8 taps, including Totopia Brewery's new "Neonphobia"
BAMBOO 4 Craft Beer & Mexican in Hanasakicho, Yokohama, released its tap list for Friday, April 24. It newly tapped Totopia Brewery's collaboration "Neonphobia" and lined up a total of eight labels, including THE BLISS BREWERY and Neko Beer. A lineup that pairs well with tacos.
Hop BroBAMBOO 4 in Hanasakicho, Yokohama, is opening up a very welcome 8-tap lineup right before Golden Week. And the fact that Totopia Brewery's "Neonphobia" is in the new taps is seriously exciting.
MugiWhoa, Neonphobia already sounds intense! It's like something with neon in the name that somehow makes you want to drink it!
Hop BroAnd it's a collaboration between Totopia Brewery and Euljiro Brewing in Seoul, South Korea. The style is DH Sour IPA, and it's 6.0% ABV. It's built around fruity notes of banana, apricot, and pineapple, with a light sour edge that gives it a crisp finish.
MugiWait, what's a DH Sour IPA? That sounds like a spell. Is it something that levels you up when you drink it?
Hop BroPut simply, DH means dry hopping. Hops are added after the boil to boost aroma, and because it's sour, it adds acidity too. So it's not too bitter, it's juicy, and it still finishes clean.
MugiI get it now! And the article says it pairs well with lime Basque cheesecake, right? Beer and dessert being friends is basically the best thing ever!
Hop BroExactly. That's the nice part: it works both with meals and with dessert-leaning dishes. And on the same day there are eight labels lined up, from Instinct and CHERRY BOY to Gothweiser, so the tasting list gets pretty busy.
MugiHold on, even the names are fun, like Motto Neltora-san! That's the kind of beer that makes you smile before you even take a sip!
Hop BroThe food lineup is solid too, with six kinds of tacos including jerk chicken, carnitas, shrimp, vegetables, and chorizo. It's very BAMBOO 4 to center the beer while still making both snacks and full meals work.
MugiAnd the hours are easy to work with too, with Friday open until 23:30! After work, I'd love to stop by and reset with a taco and a drink.
Hop BroMonday through Friday is 16:00 to 23:30, Saturday, Sunday, and holidays are 15:00 to 23:00, and it's closed on Wednesdays. If you want a casual craft beer in Yokohama, today feels like a day to toast with Neonphobia.
