Swan Lake Pub Edo Tamachi Branch Serves Five Core Beers, Seasonal Casks, and Shiga Kogen IPA
Swan Lake Pub Edo Tamachi Branch has published its tap list. In addition to five core beers, it also features the seasonal limited releases "#B-IPA" and "Miel Blanc", the high-alcohol "Imperial Stout 2025", and the guest beer "SHIGA KOGEN IPA", along with information on happy hour and all-you-can-drink offerings.
Hop BroI came across Tamachi, and the tap list for Swan Lake Pub Edo Tamachi Branch, where the five core beers take center stage, is out. Just seeing Golden Ale, Koshihikari Rice Lager, White Swan Weizen, Amber Swan Ale, and Porter lined up is already strong.
MugiWhoa, they have five core beers? I’d get lost choosing, but that sounds fun!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they’re adding three seasonal casks. #B-IPA, Miel Blanc, and Imperial Stout 2025, plus SHIGA KOGEN IPA as a guest, so even though it’s a direct-operated shop, the lineup has the density of a party.
MugiWhat is that, Imperial Stout sounds heavy just from the name... is it the dark, strong kind?
Hop BroExactly, it’s a high-alcohol dark beer with a solid roasted character and body. Since it says 2025, you can enjoy the personality of that year’s brew.
MugiOhhh! So if SHIGA KOGEN IPA is available too, does that mean Tamachi gets a taste of Nagano?
Hop BroThat’s right. The fun part is being able to compare guest casks. If you line up the hop character of the IPA against Swan Lake’s core beers, the differences in aroma become really clear.
MugiBut IPA... what does hop character even mean? Isn’t it just bitter?
Hop BroIt’s not just bitterness. It often brings out aromas like citrus and pine resin. And since happy hour runs from opening until 8:00 p.m. here, it’s perfect for comparing flavors with your first drink.
MugiWait, it’s cheaper until 8:00 p.m.? And if food starts at 4:00 p.m., I can snack while drinking, and the Session I.P.A cans are To go only, so I can take them home? Amazing!
Hop BroAnd the hours run until 11:30 p.m. on weekdays, while Saturdays open from noon, so it’s strong for both after-work detours and daytime weekend drinking. The stability of a direct-operated shop and the contrast of limited casks is basically a setup designed to make you drink more.
MugiI’m done for, I want all the core beers and all the limited ones! If I go to Tamachi, I want to start with Golden Ale and finish with Imperial Stout 2025... my beer plans for today are set!
Minato Ward's Shiba-based Swan Lake Pub Edo Tamachi is a direct-operated beer pub from Swan Lake Beer, and a place to enjoy craft beer in the Tamachi and Mita area. In this post, the tap list available in the shop, along with business hours and price ranges, was summarized and announced.
The flagship lineup consists of Swan Lake Beer’s five standard beers: Golden Ale, Koshihikari Rice Lager, White Swan Weizen, Amber Swan Ale, and Porter. To that, the seasonal slots #B-IPA and Miel Blanc are added, along with the high-alcohol Imperial Stout 2025. In addition, SHIGA KOGEN IPA is available as a guest beer, creating a lineup that makes it easy to compare regular and limited releases side by side.
The post also lists Session I.P.A canned beer as "To go only," meeting takeaway demand as well. Prices are displayed separately for happy hour and regular pricing, with happy hour running from opening until 8:00 p.m. Since it applies not only to Swan Lake's standard beers but also to cocktails and highballs, it is a convenient setup from the first drink.
Business hours are Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., Saturdays from noon to 11:00 p.m., and closed on Sundays and public holidays. Food is served from 4:00 p.m., making it well suited to a slow-drinking style centered on the taps. It is the kind of place in Tamachi that fits a day when you want both the steady core lineup of a direct-operated taproom and seasonal and guest casks together.
