BREWMIN' "Monstaa's P" and Novoru "Hodoku" on tap at SOUL BIRD in Hamamatsucho
Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD in Hamamatsucho, Tokyo, announced its "HAPPY NIGHT SOUL BIRD" for Tuesday, April 7. Two kegs are lined up: BREWMIN' Pale Ale "Monstaa's P" and Novoru Weizen Bock "Hodoku."
Hop BroAt SOUL BIRD in Hamamatsucho, two interesting kegs are going on tap on the evening of April 7.
MugiWait, two kegs at once? Is that really something to get excited about?
Hop BroOne is BREWMIN's Monstaa's P, a Pale Ale with ABV 5.0% and IBU 28.
MugiWhat's IBU? I know it's supposed to be a measure of bitterness, but just seeing the number doesn't tell me much!
Hop BroBasically, it's an index of hop bitterness, and 28 is pretty gentle. The malt sweetness and citrus character are nicely holding hands.
MugiI see! So it's the kind of beer that's perfect as a first pint and plays well with food.
Hop BroThe other is Novoru's Hodoku, a full-bodied Weizen Bock with ABV 7.5%.
MugiWhoa, 7.5%! It says banana and clove aromas, but can beer really smell like that?
Hop BroIt can, through fermentation-derived esters and phenols. The aroma layers build on the wheat richness, and the changing expression with temperature is part of the fun.
MugiWow, I want to try the citrusy pale ale and the wheat bock side by side!
Hop BroAnd since SOUL BIRD works as a cafe and is great for banquets too, there are plenty of reasons to grab a drink in Hamamatsucho.
MugiAlright, the night of April 7 is settled! I'm already in the mood to raise a glass right now!
Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD in Hamamatsucho, Tokyo, announced its "HAPPY NIGHT SOUL BIRD" for Tuesday, April 7, 2026. The post introduces two kegs: BREWMIN' "Monstaa's P" and Novoru "Hodoku."
`Monstaa's P` is a Pale Ale with ABV 5.0% and IBU 28. It is described as a beer where malt sweetness and hop-driven citrus character are in balance, making it an easygoing pint that pairs well with food and is suitable as the first beer of the night.
`Hodoku`, on the other hand, is a Weizen Bock with ABV 7.5%. It is marked by a rich wheat sweetness, ester aromas reminiscent of banana and clove, and a rounded mouthfeel; the more you tilt the glass, the more its layers of aroma open up. In a beer pub like SOUL BIRD, this is the kind of beer you want to enjoy alongside food while watching it change with temperature.
SOUL BIRD is a Hamamatsucho spot that works equally well as a cafe and as a place to stop in for craft beer. The post also mentions banquets, semi-private rooms, a projector, various all-you-can-drink plans, and invoice support, suggesting it is easy to use not only for an everyday drink but also as a gathering place. On the night of April 7, it looks like you can enjoy the contrast between a citrusy pale ale and a wheat-forward weizen bock.
