Ueno The World End: 13 taps including Oni Densetsu × TONOTO and Oud Beersel
The World End -Irish Pub- in Ueno is set to open at 4:00 p.m. on May 19. Guest kegs will include Oni Densetsu Beer, Hazy Labo, Cycad Brewing, 3sons, and Oud Beersel, and weekday happy hour will also be offered. The return of the limited-time tacos was also announced.
Hop BroThe World End -Irish Pub- in Ueno announced that it will open at 4:00 p.m. on May 19. It's in a spot that's easy to walk to from the station, so being able to stop by after work is a big plus.
MugiWhat! So many in Ueno? The guest kegs are way too luxurious, and I feel like I'd be drunk before I even walk into the place!
Hop BroThe main attraction this time is a 13-tap lineup featuring Oni Densetsu Beer, Hazy Labo, Cycad Brewing, 3sons, and Oud Beersel. Having domestic hoppy beers and Belgian aged styles side by side is pretty bold.
MugiWait, what's a lambic? It sounds powerful, but is it a samurai beer?
Hop BroLambic is a traditional Belgian beer that also relies on the power of wild yeast, and its appeal is the acidity and complexity. This time they've got Oud Beersel's one-year-aged lambic and Winter Lambiek, which feels like they're quietly putting on a serious face next to the flashy IPAs.
MugiWhoa, I might love that! And Shin Asahi Oni IPA from Oni Densetsu × TONOTO sounds like an event just from the name, and saying it out loud makes my throat dry!
Hop BroExactly. They also have Kinoni Pale Ale (ADHA-218 ver.), Waimea Hazy IPA, Lowii3 NE IPA, and Coco Logic Imperial Stout, so the range from IPA to stout is what makes it fun.
MugiWow, there are rich beers and sour beers, and now even Akkiyama Bitter III? My stomach needs a meeting today!
Hop BroAnd the post says items 2, 3, and 5 are limited, so going early is definitely the right move. If there's a beer you want, taking your time might mean the keg leaves before you do.
MugiThen I have to go on a weekday! If pints are a deal during happy hour, it's easier to justify having one more!
Hop BroAnd the food side has the limited-time taco comeback. They should pair well with the hop character of IPAs and the acidity of lambics, so this is basically a full-course tasting of drinks and food.
MugiIt's decided! Comparing the regulars and guest beers in Ueno while chasing them with tacos sounds amazing. My throat is already heading for 'The World End'!
