IBREW Shimbashi Announces Two Brewery Takeovers for October
CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Shimbashi has announced two tap takeover events for October 2026: VATTEN BREWING with Beppu Brewery 22, followed by ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS with Namachan Brewing.
Hop BroShinbashi just gave us a reason to fill October fast: IBREW Shinbashi Ekimae is hosting two tap takeovers.
MugiTwo of them?! Does a tap takeover mean the beer taps stage a tiny coup?
Hop BroA peaceful coup, basically. It means one brewery-focused lineup, so it is perfect for comparing beers.
MugiNice! So what comes first? Tell me about the early October event!
Hop BroFrom October 10 to 12, it is VATTEN BREWING × Beppu Brewery 22. Brewers are also scheduled to visit on the 10th.
MugiWe might meet the people who made it?! A brewer visit is my chance to ask why every sip tastes so good!
Hop BroThen, on October 24 and 25, comes ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS & Namachan Brewing—with another brewer visit planned for the 24th.
MugiDoes ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS mean hops are working overtime? What does ties to Ishinomaki hops mean?
Hop BroNo overtime pay for hops! Hops are plants that add aroma and bitterness, and these beers should showcase Ishinomaki's hop connection.
MugiDo we know the exact beers yet—IPAs, dark beers, or foam that reaches space? Individual beers are unannounced?
Hop BroExactly. The beer names, styles, and tap count have not been announced, so check the taps that day and let curiosity choose.
MugiThat sounds like a treasure hunt! It is right by the station, and open from 11 to 23 means a daytime beer dream is possible too!
Hop BroWeekday lunch runs from 11 to 13, then regular service continues. Let us chat with brewers and compare some new pours.
MugiDeal! I want to toast at IBREW Shinbashi in both halves of October. A Shinbashi craft beer tour starts now!
