Hop BroAt TAP&CROWLER in Udagawacho, Shibuya, there’s an AUTUMN LEAVES unveiling party on Saturday, April 25. And on top of that, it’s also a Ukitoten Brewing Tap Takeover, so it’s going to be a pretty packed day.
MugiWait, what’s a Tap Takeover? Does that mean the whole place is going to be all Ukitoten Brewing?
Hop BroExactly. It’s an event where they basically take over the taps with Ukitoten Brewing. This time, the anniversary beers 'AUTUMN LEAVES' and 'AUTUMN LEAVES -BARREL AGED ver.-' are also available, which is the exciting part.
MugiOhhh! But does BARREL AGED mean they just keep it in a barrel and sell it? That sounds kind of like wine!
Hop BroClose, but a little different. It means the barrel-aged version, so you get the aroma and softness of the wooden barrel. That’s why, even with the same AUTUMN LEAVES, comparing the regular version and the barrel-aged one should make them feel quite different.
MugiWow, I want to compare them! And it says there’s a strong Belgian lineup too, but are there really that many varieties?
Hop BroThere are, and the range is wide. Starting with Belgian Amber Lager and going all the way to Super Saison Barrel Aged and Belgian Tripel, it really shows how broad Belgian beer can be.
MugiThat’s so luxurious! But if there’s Best Bitter and British Brown Ale too, does that mean there’s more than just Belgian beer?
Hop BroOf course. They’ve got British styles covered too, and having Best Bitter《hand pump ver.》 is especially nice. A hand pump means it’s poured manually, so the carbonation is softer and the aroma comes through more gently.
MugiWow, the way it’s poured changes the taste too! So with Czech Pale Lager export and Irish Red Ale as well, it really feels like a world tour!
Hop BroExactly. From malty lagers to saison, bitter, and tripel, it’s an event where the brewer’s intent comes through clearly. And since owner-brewer Mr. Tanaka is also scheduled to visit, being able to talk to him directly is a big deal.
MugiNow I definitely want to drink there! I want to take my time at TAP&CROWLER while doing a side-by-side tasting of AUTUMN LEAVES!

With everything from Belgian Amber Lager to the barrel-aged version, saison, bitter, brown ale, Irish red ale, Czech pale lager, and Belgian tripel, it should be possible to compare a broad range of styles, from malty lagers to classic British beers and distinctly Belgian offerings. In particular, beers served in different ways, such as 'Best Bitter《hand pump ver.》', make it easier to notice how much the experience changes even within the same style.

This time, the anniversary beer launch, the brewer's visit, and the Tap Takeover all come together, making it an event where it should be easy to trace the brewer's intent in a concentrated way.
