Blue in Green in Yokosuka

Yokosuka is a virtual wasteland for craft beer lovers. To get a pint of anything better than Guinness you need to catch a train to Yokohama or Tokyo, unless you can make your way to Blue in Green jazz bar. A friendly bartender and a cozy atmosphere greets you when you walk in the door to Blue in Green. While they don't have anything on tap, and the bottle selection isn't that big, they do offer the best selection in the area. Offering the Anchor lineup on a regular basis (Old Foghorn, Steam, Liberty Ale, Porter), a rotating bottle or two, and bringing in seasonals from Saranac, Anchor, and Red Hook, Blue in Green is a solid little bar. I tend to visit on the quieter nights, bringing a book with me or doing a little beer research. Blue in Green brings in live bands on a regular basis and I hear they even have jam sessions from time to time where you can bring you instrument in and play some tunes with other patrons. Besides the beer, Blue in Green also offers a nice bourbon and whiskey selection. While it doesn't compare to some of the better places in Tokyo or Yokohama, Blue in Green has quickly become my favorite local bar.
