Wailele in Shibuya Announces Draft Lineup Including Kona and Fremont for Aug. 1
Wailele, a beer pub in Shibuya's Dogenzaka area, announced its draft lineup for Saturday, August 1, from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The list ranges from Kona Brewing's classic golden ale to IPAs, wheat beers, and a rare collaboration beer.
Hop BroShibuya’s Wailele just posted a lineup for August 1, and 10 taps planned with Kona through Fremont is a pretty serious move.
MugiWhat! Hawaii vibes in Shibuya? Even the name Wailele sounds tropical, and my brain is already on vacation.
Hop BroAnd the lead-off beer is Kona Brewing’s Big Wave Golden Ale. It’s light, easygoing, and exactly the kind of first pint that works for almost anyone.
MugiOoh, Golden Ale already sounds friendly. If it’s not too bitter, that just jumped way up my list.
Hop BroThen it rolls into Carbon Brews Bright Side Pale Ale, Karl Strauss Mosaic Session IPA, and Jack’s Abby’s Hoponius Union IPL, which gives the list real range.
MugiHold on, what even is IPL? Is that IPA’s cousin, or did a totally new character just enter the show?
Hop BroIPL means India Pale Lager. You get IPA-like hop aroma, but the fermentation leans lager, so it drinks like a lager-brewed IPA in spirit.
MugiWhoa, so it’s crisp but hoppy? My brain is still buffering, but my taste buds are already fully on board.
Hop BroThe IPA side is stacked too: Embolden’s Broken Record IPA, Fremont’s Lush IPA, and even 8bit × Harland’s DDH NZ WCIPA. That’s not a casual flex.
MugiWait, too many letters! That sounds less like a beer and more like a router password I’d never remember.
Hop BroDDH means extra dry hopping, NZ points to New Zealand hops, and WCIPA is West Coast IPA. Basically, it’s maxed-out hop aroma with a sharper finish.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! But I’m still eyeing Yamaguchi Beer’s Peach Weizen, plus TSUNAGU HAWAII and KANPAI Fruited Grape Ale for the fruitier route.
MugiThen on August 1, I want a full tasting run before the 8 p.m. last call. But wait, can I use a credit card there?
Hop BroNo cards, just cash, PayPay, and HachiPay. Check the Facebook text update before heading over, and honestly, I want a pint now.
Draft Lineup for August 1
Wailele, a beer pub on the second floor in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, announced its hours for Saturday, August 1 as 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. with last orders at 8:00 p.m. As part of the Cerveza Gym Group and its Hawaiian-themed branch, the bar is presenting a lineup built around American-style craft beer with a strong island connection.
The first beer listed is Kona Brewing's "Big Wave Golden Ale." From there, the planned lineup moves through Carbon Brews' "Bright Side Pale Ale," Karl Strauss Brewing's "Mosaic Session IPA," and Jack's Abby Craft Lagers' "Hoponius Union IPL," giving the tap list a range from easy-drinking pale ale to hop-forward lager hybrids.
For IPA fans, the article also notes "Broken Record IPA" from Embolden Beer, followed by Fremont Brewing's "Lush IPA." Another highlight is "The Hop Exchange DDH NZ WCIPA," a collaboration beer from 8bit × Harland that the post describes as a particularly rare pour.
If you prefer wheat or fruit-driven beers, the list also includes Yamaguchi Beer's "Peach Weizen," followed by "TSUNAGU HAWAII" from Hawaii Tourism Authority & Yokohama Beer, and "KANPAI Fruited Grape Ale" from META Edabeak. The post cautions that the menu image may differ from the actual tap list, so the written lineup should be treated as the most reliable source.
Wailele accepts cash, PayPay, and Hachipay, and does not accept credit cards. Current tap details are also updated on the owner's Facebook page, making it a useful stop for drinkers who want to track the changing lineup.
