Beer Boy Shibuya PARCO Hosts Kawasaki Five-Brewery Gathering on 12 Taps
Beer Boy Shibuya PARCO held its “Kawasaki Five-Brewery Gathering presented by YURI” on June 13. The lineup included beers from Mizonokuchi Brewery, Kagiya Brewery, Pecora Beer, TKBrewing, and Hanayagi, plus KIRIN, served across 12 taps.
Hop BroAt Tachinomi Beer Boy in Shibuya PARCO, they held a Kawasaki brewery takeover on June 13. It was 12 taps total, with 10 regular lines plus 2 event taps, and even a DJ in the room.
MugiWait, under Shibuya PARCO? That sounds wild. Standing beers with a DJ means I'd be hyped before the first sip.
Hop BroThe lineup pulled in Mizonokuchi Brewery, Kagiya Brewery, Pecora Beer, TKBrewing, Hanayanagi, plus KIRIN, so the tasting range was seriously wide.
MugiWow, the names alone are fun. Solognot, Fleece, Shibuya Chaos... that's a stacked tap list right there!
Hop BroExactly, and they mixed in collab-heavy pours too, like Hanayanagi × HOPWORKS West Coast IPA and Hanayanagi × BTB Dry Hopped Lager.
MugiHold on, Dry Hopped Lager? What is that supposed to be? Crisp? Aromatic? My brain just slipped on a beer coaster.
Hop BroThink of it as a lager with extra hop aroma layered on top. You keep the clean, easy body, then get a brighter nose. West Coast IPA usually brings firmer bitterness and citrusy snap.
MugiOkay, that helps! Even BRIT HOP from Kagiya Brewery × TOWER RECORDS feels less scary now because I can actually picture the flavor.
Hop BroAnd the smart part is the five-brewery challenge. If you work through all five in order, it leads to a shot at an original beer concept.
MugiThat's dangerous in the best way. The more you drink, the more the story builds. Next time, I want to warm up with Heart Land, then finish with Parantica or Kawapakey for a proper cheers.
Event overview
Beer Boy Shibuya PARCO is a standing-style beer pub in the basement of Shibuya PARCO. In a June 14 Instagram post, the shop looked back at the previous day’s “Kawasaki Five-Brewery Gathering presented by YURI.” The room had a DJ set as well, giving the event a lively, music-friendly atmosphere.
What was on tap
For this event, the bar ran 12 taps in total: 10 regular taps plus 2 event taps. The post listed the following beers:
- Hop Kotan x BTB / ONE LAP BEHIND
- Pecora Beer / Solognot
- Pecora Beer / Fleece
- Mizonokuchi Brewery / Parantica
- Mizonokuchi Brewery / Takatsu Entry
- Kagiya Brewery x TOWER RECORDS / BRIT HOP
- TKBrewing / Kawapakey
- TKBrewing / Shibuya Chaos
- Hanayagi x HOPWORKS / West Coast IPA
- Hanayagi x BTB / Dry Hopped Lager
- KIRIN / Heart Land
The lineup combined the five Kawasaki-area breweries with collaboration beers and a familiar lager option, making it a strong tasting session for people who wanted variety.
Why it works
The post also mentioned a small reward mechanic: customers who made it through all five breweries could earn a shot at an original-beer challenge. That kind of structure gives drinkers a reason to work through the lineup in order and compare styles along the way. In a basement beer bar that is easy to drop into, the shop still manages to feel like a proper tasting venue when it turns into an event space. That balance is a big part of Beer Boy Shibuya PARCO’s appeal.
