April 6 Keg Lineup


TBE Brewing, located in Minamiyebisu, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, announced its April 6 keg lineup on Instagram. In the post, some beers were described as having "low remaining stock," indicating a fast-moving tap selection.

That day's lineup included Italy's CRAK Brewery with "PIZZAPILS FREE STYLE", Yatsugatake Touchdown's "Cold-Brew Coffee Lager", Minoh Beer's "Honey Saison", and Iwate Kura Beer's "Ko Beer", among others. The taps also featured a range of distinct IPA-focused offerings, such as Yorocco Beer's "Skywalker IPA", Shiga Kogen Beer's "Snow Monkey IPA" and "Itsu no Juu No.10 IPA", and Ushiku Brewing's "Wander Vogel IPA".

In addition, Black Tide's "#476 Hoya Boya ver. 5.0" and Romantic Village's "Triple H Juicy Double IPA" were also on tap. The next beers slated as possible tap changes were Black Tide's "#480 Tohoku Pride", Romantic Village's "Fruit Basket IPA Citra Ver.", Hop Dog's "Farm to You DDH IPA", and Y Market's "Masterpiece Exceed".

Food Selection Too


As a beer pub, TBE Brewing is also known for the breadth of its food menu. On this day, the offerings included sashimi of the day, grape-fed beef shoulder loin steak, grilled bone-in Daisen chicken thigh, barley-fed pork fillet tonkatsu, a special mixed fried platter, tripe simmered in tomato sauce, sauteed nagaimo with butter and soy sauce, and an oil pasta with shrimp, mushrooms, and tomato.

Pairing hop-forward IPAs and double IPAs with fried foods and meat dishes is an obvious choice, but there is also room to enjoy lighter beers such as coffee lagers and saisons alongside sashimi and appetizer-style dishes.

For anyone drinking craft beer in Ebisu, this is one spot worth checking out for both its rotating taps and broad food menu.
