THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro Adds Three New Draft Beers, Including I Fudo Dodo
Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro, Tokyo updated its tap list on July 15. The new additions are I Fudo Dodo from Kankiku Brewery x THE DODO HOUSE, Pineapple IPA from HopDog Brewing, and Tamba Honey Ale from Tamba Road Brewery.
Hop BroMeguro is looking strong today; three fresh taps at THE DODO HOUSE landed on July 15, and the whole lineup suddenly got a lot more interesting.
MugiWait, three new pours at once? That's not a tap update, that's a scheduling emergency!
Hop BroThe headliners are Ifu Dodo, Pineapple IPA, and Tamba Honey Ale: a 9th-anniversary collab, a fruit-forward IPA, and a honey ale, which is a pretty stacked trio.
MugiThose names have serious drama. Ifu Dodo sounds like it should arrive with boss music, so what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a 9th-anniversary collab between Kankiku Brewery and THE DODO HOUSE, with white floral, herbal notes, biscuit-like malt depth, and a clean bitterness, and it's already on keg number three.
MugiHold on, biscuit-like malt? Did they blend bar snacks directly into the beer?
Hop BroNo snack crimes here; biscuit character just means a toasted grain note from the malt, not actual cookies swimming through the brew.
MugiHuh, okay! Then is Pineapple IPA basically dessert in a glass, or not really?
Hop BroThat's the clever part: Hopdog Brewing uses fermentation that strips most sugar, so it doesn't drink candy-sweet and instead leans into tropical fruit and a bright acidic edge.
MugiA pineapple beer with snap? tropical fruit and acidity sounds like summer just kicked the door open.
Hop BroThen Tambaji Brewery brings Tamba Honey Ale, made with local apiary Shiawase no Hachimitsu honey, layering toasty malt and soft sweetness, and it should be fun next to pours like Yuyu G Drop or Schwarz.
MugiAnd with no bench charge plus takeaway cups, this is basically Meguro telling me to stop making excuses and go drink.
Hop BroExactly, this calls for a full tasting run: start with Ifu Dodo, jump to Pineapple IPA, and land on the honey ale for the finish.
MugiThen it's settled, the three-beer course it is! I want to chase that tap list in Meguro and drink my way through all of it.
