Rather than writing up individual reviews for these beers, we’ve come up with a page of beers for our recent trip to Caghiya Pizza & Tap – which is a brewpub located in Musashi-Kosugi, Kanagawa. As these are draught beers, there is no guarantee that they will be on tap if and when you go there.
Caghiya Pils no 1 : Details
- Alcohol : 5%
- Style : German pilsner
- IBU : 13
Name of Beer : Mini Review
Appearance : Slight hazy, golden straw colour with a thin white head on top, that faded to a few bubbles.
Aroma : Straight forward and simple. Light malt pilsner aroma, with a subtle floral note on top.

Caghiya Little Rabbit : Details
- Alcohol : 3.5%

- IBU : 10
Caghiya Little Rabbit : Mini Review
Appearance : Hazy, banana yellow colour with a fluffy head on top of large bubbles. Stick, leaving rings around the side of the glass.
Aroma : Spicy with notes of coriander on the nose, and a bubblegum sweetness to the beer.
Body : Light and dry, with the coriander bringing some life to the beer. Refreshing with a touch of citrus lying underneath.
Caghiya Blues Explosion : Details
- Alcohol : 5.5%
- Style : Spiced / herb beer
- IBU : 31
Caghiya Blues Explosion : Mini Review
Appearance : Muddy red colour with a thin layer of white bubbles on top that faded quickly.
Aroma : Spicey for sure – fruit notes of star anise and some light dusting of sugar and cinnamon too. Touch of black pepper heat.
Body : A lot going on – fruit star anise, with black pepper heat, alongside some sweetness. Full on tasting, and warming as well.
Caghiya Mellow Yellow : Details
- Alcohol : 6%
- Style : Hazy IPA
- IBU : 13
Caghiya Mellow Yellow : Mini Review
Appearance : Hazy, golden yellow colour with a thick, sticky white head on top that left rings around the side of the glass.
Aroma : Mixture of citrus notes – grapefruit and lemon – with some mustiness present. Not overpowering, nor hoppy by any means.
Body : Slight stickiness present, with citrus notes and some light mustiness. Kind of bland and lacks the vibrancy of fresher hazies.
Caghiya Double Decker : Details
- Alcohol : 8%
- Style : Double IPA
- IBU : 60
Caghiya Double Decker : Mini Review
Appearance : Reddish brown colour with an off-white head; faded fast to some rings around the edge.
Aroma : Slight dank notes to the beer, with bready caramel aroma. Light herbal notes as it warms up, but no alcohol heat.
Body : Full bodied, with the dank and bready, caramel notes at the forefront. Crisp body so easy drinking. No discernible alcohol heat either. BEST OF THE BUNCH.
