Beer Pub Ishii taps four beers in a peony-themed post, and also announces four next candidates in Sendagi
Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, Tokyo, shared its tap lineup in an Instagram update on April 30. Songbird, Ushitora Brewery, and Hoppukotan Brewing are among the featured labels, and Shiga Kogen Beer and Kanpai! Brewing are also listed as the next beers likely to be tapped.
Hop BroBeer Pub Ishii in Sendagi put out its tap info in an update posted on April 30. It really feels like a small shop on Yomise-dori shopping street, with beers changing out day by day.
MugiWhoa, it moves that much? A place that changes every day sounds like it would be fun just to follow!
Hop BroWhat's on tap now is Songbird's "Moderne," Ushitora Brewery's "Cho, Latte yo!," Hoppukotan Brewing's "nonno -Nonno-," and "Jikkuri Kotokoto Shikonda Pils" - four in total. Four beers on tap makes it pretty lively.
MugiWhat is that? The names alone are full of personality! "Latte yo!" sounds like a coffee shop with crazy momentum, even though it's beer!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The names stand out, but a pilsner-style beer like "Jikkuri Kotokoto Shikonda Pils" has a crisp backbone, which tightens up the drinking experience.
MugiI hear the word pilsner a lot, but what is it really like? I get that it's crisp and easy to drink, but it's still kind of hard to picture!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's a style that shows off the malt flavor and a clean finish rather than throwing bitterness and aroma around dramatically. So the word "kotokoto" does a good job of making you imagine careful, deliberate brewing.
MugiWow, making you imagine the temperature of the flavor just from the name is cheating! Hearing "carefully brewed" already makes that first sip sound delicious!
Hop BroAnd the beers waiting in the wings are great too. Hoppukotan Brewing's "Kitsuneiro," Shiga Kogen Beer's "SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver Label ver.," Brasserie Knot's "BIRD," and Kanpai! Brewing's "Naemazaka-Blueberry Sour" are all lined up, so the next candidates are plenty strong.
MugiWhoa, IPA and a sour too! If there are tart options in the mix, you can pick based on your mood, which is awesome!
Hop BroThat's the kind of breadth that defines Beer Pub Ishii. Since it guides you to enjoy Japanese craft beer alongside food, it's the sort of place where it makes sense to drink slowly with snacks.
MugiAnd they're also announcing the separate "Izakaya AYAYA" at the end of the post, right? If it's from May 4 to 6, 15:00-22:00, I want to put it on my schedule already!
Hop BroExactly. Following the changes and waiting to see what gets tapped next is part of the fun. This is the kind of flow that makes you want to go have a drink in Sendagi.
MugiYeah, just reading it made my throat react! Tonight's drink pick is looking like Beer Pub Ishii!
