Event Overview


At CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW AKIHABARA near Akihabara Station, "48TAP TAKE OVER" featuring craft beer from Hakata will take place on May 16 and 17. The post introduces the event as a collaboration that combines HKT48 and IBREW AKB48, saying that four breweries representing Hakata will gather in Akihabara.

Beers to Drink


The highlight is "Hakata Ramen Hazy IPA," brewed in collaboration by IBREW Akihabara and four Fukuoka breweries: Asunaro, B.R.E.W, Ohori, and Aozora. Built on a malty body and layered with ramen-inspired ideas, this unique beer is described in the post as having a very hazy appearance, with aromas reminiscent of lychee and coconut from Dolcita. In addition, "Rahr Mugi Hazy IPA 7%" is also featured, suggesting the rich, full mouthfeel typical of a Hazy.

Food and the Venue's Convenience


The food offering includes AKB gyoza, described as bite-sized dumplings made with Kyushu-grown kurobuta pork. The setup is designed to pair well with beer and should be easy to keep eating even after several drinks. The shop is conveniently located in Sakuma-cho, Kanda, Chiyoda City, right by Akihabara Station, making it easy to stop by after work or while out shopping. The post also says that a "SEOUL BREWERY" TAP TAKE OVER is scheduled for May 23 and 24, meaning IBREW Akihabara will continue with an event-heavy lineup throughout May.
