Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara Releases May 14 Tap List; CRAFT BANK and Teenage Brewing Well Represented
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has released its tap list for May 14, 2026. In addition to three new beers from CRAFT BANK, the lineup includes selections from Yatsugatake Touchdown, Nobody Brewing, Teenage Brewing, and Seoul Brewing.
Hop BroToday’s Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara tap list for May 14 is seriously strong. It’s got three new CRAFT BANK beers and a whole lineup from Teenage Brewing, the kind that makes your throat perk up the moment you see it.
MugiWhoa, three new beers already sounds delicious! But there are so many brewery names that it feels like the kind of lineup where you end up not knowing where to start!
Hop BroStarting with CRAFT BANK’s BANK IPA is a good entry point. The key thing about an IPA is that the hop aroma takes center stage, while still being designed for easy drinking.
MugiWhen I hear hop aroma, I picture some kind of bitter leaf magic. But what does it actually taste like?
Hop BroIn broad terms, it can bring out citrusy aromas, or notes of pine and flowers. The fun of an IPA is that it doesn’t just hit you with bitterness, but also lets the aroma carry the beer.
MugiOhhh! So Coffee Stout is exactly what it sounds like, like coffee? That kind of makes it sound good even for breakfast!
Hop BroExactly. Stouts tend to bring out the bitter depth of roasted malt, and then coffee-like toasty aromas layer on top of that. Even though it looks dark, it can actually be very easy to drink.
MugiWhat, so even though black beer sounds heavy, this is a gentle black beer? That’s almost cheating! Then I could totally drink it during the day too!
Hop BroAnd this time, the real standout is how well represented Teenage Brewing is. SHOHEI Zen, Sound Clash, and Orange Circle are all there, and the whole shop suddenly gets a playful vibe.
MugiWow, the names alone already make me excited! It feels like a tasting paradise, and if I took friends there on the weekend, it would definitely be a blast!
Hop BroThe hours are easy to use, and they even offer growler takeout, so it’s strong both for a drink after work and for weekend bar hopping. This is definitely a lineup I’d want to properly drink through in Akihabara.
MugiI’ve decided, I’m in the mood to raise a glass in Akihabara today! I’m curious about both CRAFT BANK and Teenage Brewing, and now I’m hungry just from talking about beer!
