Beer Pub Camden Ikebukuro East Exit Branch (2F, Higashi-Komachi Building, 1-7-2 Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo) operates as a beer pub that is easy to use for daytime drinking on weekends and holidays. In this post, the addition of three newly tapped kegs was announced, clearly showing an updated tap list.

The newly added beers are Reverse Math from Von Ebert, Nelson from Alpine, and Diffusiophilia from Totopia. All three are beers with a pronounced hop character, making them well suited for side-by-side comparison of different directions. Reverse Math is a West Coast IPA with a sharp, well-defined profile; its description highlights resinous and dank notes along with nuances reminiscent of guava and berries. Nelson is a hazy IPA, with tropical aromas and a well-balanced bitterness as its key appeal. Diffusiophilia is a DDH Hazy Double IPA collaboration with VERTERE, said to layer fruitiness reminiscent of orange and strawberry with a soft dank character.

In addition to these three, the tap list also included the staples PUNK IPA / BrewDog, from scratch a blond ale / Shigakogen, Pixel / Phase Three, and PiXel Populus Brujos / Phase Three × Brujos. The range spans easygoing classics, hazy hop beers, and double IPAs, making it easy to choose based on your mood that day.

For anyone in the Ikebukuro East Exit area who wants to keep up with the fast-changing tap lineup of a station-adjacent beer pub, this is not to be missed. Combined with weekend opening from noon, it is an easy stop for a hop-forward pint.
