At Asakusa Beer Kobo in Taito City, Tokyo, the guest beer "Mr.GREEN TACKLE" brewed by REPUBREW has been tapped. The post announced that service would begin in time for St. Patrick's Day, introducing it as a green beer that looks like melon soda but tastes like a proper IPA.
Hop BroHere's the latest Asakusa topic: the beer tapped at Asakusa Beer Kobo is REPUBREW's "Mr.GREEN TACKLE"!
MugiWhoa! That name sounds intense! And it starts being served on March 17 too - does that date mean something?
Hop BroThat's the stylish part: it's tied to St. Patrick's Day. It's a beer lined up to match the day people celebrate spring by wearing green!
MugiOhhh! Matching it to a festival sounds fun! But when I saw the post, it looked like melon soda - it was totally a soft drink!?
Hop BroAnd that's the point: inside it's a proper IPA. The hop-derived aroma and bitterness are firmly in craft-beer territory.
MugiIPA means the bitter one, right? So then, what does that hop-derived aroma actually smell like?
Hop BroGood question! In simple terms, it's designed around aroma and bitterness. The fragrance makes it lively, and the finish tightens up with a crisp bite, so the contrast with the color is part of the fun.
MugiThat's amazing! It looks playful but tastes seriously good - it's totally a gap-moe beer!
Hop BroAnd since Asakusa Beer Kobo is a brewpub in Nishi-Asakusa, it has guest-beer rotations, so the taps change every time you visit.
MugiIt's great that you can follow what's on tap right now even when you're just out sightseeing...! I already want to drink Mr.GREEN TACKLE today, hop bro, let's go!
In a post dated March 17, 2026, Asakusa Beer Kobo announced that REPUBREW's "Mr.GREEN TACKLE" had been tapped as a guest beer.
The theme for the day was St. Patrick's Day. The post noted that March 17 is the feast day honoring Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and tied that festive spirit to the arrival of spring by connecting a green-colored beer.
What stands out in the beer description is the line "It looks like melon soda, but inside it's a proper IPA." Rather than stopping at the fun of the color, it is presented as a beer that offers the hop-driven aroma and bitterness you would expect. Even on a day with a strong event theme, it seems like a selection that still keeps the character of craft beer intact.
