MugiWhoa, they change the lineup to match the event!? Seeing the day's faces is so much fun!
Hop BroThis time it's Chichibu Beer's "Gentleman Bear ~ORB London Bitter~", Let's Beer Works' "Meow", Hop Kotan Brewing's "AKIRA's Day Off", and Ushitora Brewery's "Star Sparkle☆Summer Mandarin Sour" - a four-beer lineup.
MugiLondon bitter? What's that! And what's ORB even supposed to mean!? You just dropped a bunch of jargon on me!
Hop BroA London bitter is a beer prized for its calm, easy-drinking character in the British style. ORB is probably part of the label name, and basically it's the kind of beer you enjoy for its balance of bitterness and malt character.
MugiI get it, so the first pour can still be a slow-sipping kind of drink! Then "Meow" is intriguing just from the name alone, and it sounds like a brisk pint, perfect for comparing!
Hop BroExactly, and when you add a relaxed name like "AKIRA's Day Off," the whole room starts to feel like it's in festival mode.
Mugi"Star Sparkle☆Summer Mandarin Sour" sounds interesting too! Summer mandarin already makes my mouth pucker just from the name - is it full-on fruitiness?
Hop BroYeah, sour styles really bring out acidity and fruit character, so on a day like this the range of flavors is what makes it interesting. And with Beer Pub Ishii's three rotating taps plus Heartland on permanent tap, it's perfect for dropping by on a whim.
MugiCash-only counter service is nice too - it feels like the kind of place where you can just drop in for one. And being able to stop by without a reservation is perfect for a walk.
Hop BroIt lines up perfectly with the Yomise-dori event and live show, so just imagining today's pint already makes you want to drink there.
MugiYeah, this was absolutely the kind of announcement that makes you want to go! Now I'm torn between starting with the London bitter or finishing with the summer mandarin sour - I want to drink while I decide!
Four Kegs for May 24
Beer Pub Ishii, on the Yomise-dori shopping street in Sendagi, Tokyo, is a small beer pub that connects craft beers from across Japan through its daily taps. It uses SNS to post the day's `On Tap` and `Coming Up`, and this time too it shared a lineup timed to the "Yomise-dori Wakuwaku Big Thanksgiving Festival" on Sunday, May 24, and the live performance by Oofujitsubo.
The beers starting that day are Chichibu Beer "Gentleman Bear ~ORB London Bitter~", Let's Beer Works "Meow", Hop Kotan Brewing "AKIRA's Day Off", and Ushitora Brewery "Star Sparkle☆Summer Mandarin Sour". From the calm, easy-drinking character of a London bitter to a brisk IPA-leaning pint, a beer with a vacation-like name, and a sour that suggests fruitiness, it's a lineup whose range of flavors is easy to grasp.
Beer Pub Ishii is a small beer pub with three rotating daily taps plus Heartland from Kirin on permanent tap. It focuses on carefully brewed beers from within Japan, and also offers everything from snacks to more substantial meals, making it an easy stop in the middle of a Yanesen stroll. Because the interior is not large, the shop asks groups of five or more to refrain from visiting, and it does not take reservations. It is cash-only, so the best approach is to drop in casually and work through the day's kegs one by one.
This post was a clean overlap between a neighborhood event and the shop's tap operation. For people coming for the live music or the festival, and for anyone wanting craft beer around Yomise-dori, it serves as a clear announcement of the options available on the day.
