Beer Pub Ishii shares a daily tap list led by Songbird Wheat
On July 3, Beer Pub Ishii posted its tap status on Instagram, including Songbird “Wheat” and Chichibu Beer “Kuma wa Tenneniro <White> ~ Chamomile White Sour.” The lineup reflects the bar’s rotating-tap style, alongside its permanent Heartland lager.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Beer Pub Ishii’s eight rotating taps update. Their July 3 Instagram post had a seriously tempting lineup.
MugiWhat, eight taps? Different every visit makes the menu sound like a living creature!
Hop BroThat’s the fun of this place. Alongside permanent Heartland, they keep swapping in the next keg with a rotating keg setup so the lineup keeps changing.
MugiWait, what is a rotating keg setup? I’m picturing someone sprinting around with a giant barrel on their shoulder!
Hop BroNot quite. It just means when one keg kicks, they connect the next beer. This time the opening lineup included Songbird’s “Wheat” plus some very characterful beers from other breweries.
MugiOhh, Songbird’s “Wheat” sounds soft already. Is it the kind of beer that feels fluffy, like fresh bread?
Hop BroExactly. Wheat malt often gives a gentler texture. And Chichibu Bakushu’s Chamomile White Sour adds herbal notes and tartness on top of that soft white-beer-like feel.
MugiHold on, White Sour is a thing? Pale, tart, and chamomile too? My brain is trying to cheers and reboot at the same time!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it drinks like a light white ale with a sour edge. Then you’ve got Let’s Beer Works’ PERCH #3 and Kampai! Brewing’s Kikuzaka Brown Ale, so the range goes from crisp and easy to maltier pours.
MugiThat’s dangerous in the best way. And the waiting list with Brasserie Knot’s BIRD, Ushitora’s Kome PA, Shingetsu Beer’s pale ale, and Hansharo’s Today Mo Manten means the bench is stacked too.
Hop BroThey also noted food may come slowly until around 8 p.m. because it’s a one-person operation, which honestly suits the place. You settle in and enjoy the Beer Pub Ishii style of drinking at an unhurried pace.
MugiI’m sold. Start with the gentle Wheat, then get surprised by the chamomile sour. Now I really want to chase the tap list and go drink there tonight!
Beer Pub Ishii is a small beer pub on Yomise-dori in Sendagi, Tokyo. According to the bar’s official site, it keeps a permanent Kirin Heartland tap and serves three rotating taps, switching to the next keg as one runs out. That ever-changing lineup is a core part of the place.
In the July 3 Instagram post, the bar listed the following beers as the starting lineup:
- Songbird: Wheat
- Chichibu Beer: Kuma wa Tenneniro <White> ~ Chamomile White Sour
- Let’s Beer Works: PERCH #3
- Kanpai! Brewing: Kikuzaka Brown Ale
The post also listed the next beers waiting to be tapped: Brasserie Knot: BIRD, Ushitora Brewery: Kome PA (My PEA), Shingetsu Beer: American Pale Ale 3, and Hansharo Beer: Kyō mo Manten. The range spans wheat beer, white sour, brown ale, and pale ale, so the board reads clearly from lighter, brighter beers to malt-forward options.
The caption also noted that the shop is run solo until around 8 p.m., so food service may move at a relaxed pace. That fits the bar’s style: a place to follow the changing taps and settle in with a beer and a meal rather than rush through a quick pint.
