Hop BroIkebukuro just got more tempting, P-144×シトラバ posted a two-tap update on August 30.
MugiWait, two new taps means two fresh kegs at once? I'd be overwhelmed before I even sit down!
Hop BroExactly, the headliners are IKE IKE 1st Squad and UP!UP‼︎, and the first one is a Fruit Ale collab with NAMACHA'n Brewing.
MugiFruit Ale I get, but Session IPA sounds mysterious. Is that IPA's little sibling or something?
Hop BroSession IPA usually means strong hop aroma with a lighter body, so it's easier to keep drinking than a heavier IPA.
MugiOhhh, so NOMCRAFT Brewing's UP!UP‼︎ is basically a crushable IPA. That sounds dangerously good for daytime!
Hop BroAnd that's just the start, because they had seven craft beers on the list, including SUMMER ALE, Mango Sour Ale, Hop Sniper, Summer Sunlight IPA, and Rattle Snake.
MugiHold on, pale ale, IPA, and even WC IPA? WC IPA is not a bathroom beer, right?!
Hop BroNope, that's West Coast IPA, a style known for crisp bitterness and sharp, punchy hop aroma.
MugiNow I'm in trouble, because if they also have thick fresh pasta and small Italian plates, one beer is absolutely not enough.
Hop BroThat's the best part, the food-and-beer pairing makes you want to taste through the lineup, and I'm already craving IKE IKE 1st Squad first.
MugiThen it's settled, drinks in Ikebukuro and a side-by-side tasting of the two new taps before I get distracted by all seven!

With service from 11:30 to 23:30, it works well for both lunch and evening drinks.
The post highlighted two new taps: `IKE IKE 1st Squad` and `UP!UP‼︎`. The first is a Fruit Ale collaboration with `NAMACHAん Brewing`, while the second is a Session IPA collaboration with `NOMCRAFT Brewing`. Both are easy-drinking, aromatic choices that fit the venue's food-first beer pub style.
The full tap list for the day included seven beers:
- `IKE IKE 1st Squad` / `NAMACHAん Brewing`
- `UP!UP‼︎` / `NOMCRAFT Brewing`
- `SUMMER ALE` / `CHORYO Craft Beer`
- `マンゴーサワーエール` / `湘南ビール`
- `ホップスナイパー` / `うしとらブルワリー`
- `Summer Sunlight IPA` / `Pizza Port Brewing Co.`
- `Rattle Snake` / `Thornbridge`
The lineup covers Pale Ale, Session IPA, IPA, and WC IPA, so it should appeal to drinkers who like to compare hop character and aroma across styles. Add the venue's signature thick fresh pasta and small Italian plates, and it becomes a solid choice for a meal-focused beer stop in Ikebukuro.
