TAP&CROWLER Shibuya adds Shiroyama Brewery's Maazaku IPA and a Camado x Shima pale ale
At TAP&CROWLER in Shibuya, Shiroyama Brewery's Maazaku IPA and CAMADO Brewery x Shima Brewery's Shimakama Pale Ale were added to the taps. The post follows the previous day's APE BREWING 12 TAP TAKEOVER and highlights two beers with very different profiles.
Hop BroTAP&CROWLER in Shibuya just rolled out two fresh taps: Mansaki IPA from Shiroyama Brewery and Shimakama Pale Ale from CAMADO Brewery × Shima Brewing.
MugiWhat! Those names hit hard, and they had an APE BREWING 12 TAP TAKEOVER the day before, right? Those taps are seriously overworked!
Hop BroThat is exactly the charm here. With 22 taps in play, they can keep the event buzz alive and still switch cleanly into the next day's lineup, plus you can take favorites home in a crowler.
MugiNo way, drink it and take it home? That is like a fitting room for beer, and I fully support this business model.
Hop BroFirst, Mansaki IPA is an IPA made with a Tokunoshima herb, cho-mei-so, layered with firm bitterness and citrus aroma, so it drinks with real weight.
MugiWait, what is that? Sounds like a wellness guru, and now I am laughing because this beer suddenly feels healthier than me.
Hop BroFair reaction, but it is an island green that adds a slightly herbal edge. Then the hop bitterness and citrus come in sharp, so the whole flavor profile feels crisp instead of muddy.
MugiOkay, now I get it. If it is made for BBQ, my stomach has officially joined this conversation, and spicy food sounds dangerous in the best way.
Hop BroThe other pour, Shimakama Pale Ale, uses Cascade and Northern Brewer, giving it fruity notes, a light touch of spice, and a gentle bitterness that goes down very easily.
MugiSo this one is a softer landing? Mansaki IPA does the big punch, and Shimakama glides in after it. That pairing is almost unfair.
Hop BroIt really is. I am already thirsty for Shibuya just talking about it. I would taste both by the glass, then fill a crowler with my favorite for the trip home.
MugiDone. I am charging in with Shimakama first, then I am absolutely finishing with Mansaki IPA. Now I really want to go drink at TAP&CROWLER tonight.
TAP&CROWLER sits in a backstreet of Udagawacho, a short walk from Shibuya Station. It is a craft beer bar focused on volume sales, so you can drink in-house or have beer filled into a crowler to take home. With 22 taps rotating day by day, the lineup changes often enough to make every visit feel current.
New on tap
- Maazaku IPA / Shiroyama Brewery
An IPA brewed with tokunoshima-grown chomeiso. It leans into firm hop bitterness and bright citrus aroma, making it a substantial beer with enough structure to stand up to spiced food or barbecue sauce.
- Shimakama Pale Ale / CAMADO Brewery x Shima Brewery
A pale ale made with Cascade and Northern Brewer. Fruit-forward hop character, a light spice note, and gentle bitterness come together in a balanced, easy-drinking package.
In the post, the bar first thanks guests who came to the previous day's APE BREWING 12 TAP TAKEOVER, then introduces the two new taps. That transition from event energy to everyday drinking is part of what makes TAP&CROWLER interesting: it is a place where special releases and regular pints naturally meet.
The room itself is casual and counter-driven, which fits the style of the bar. You can try a beer by the glass, decide what you like, and then fill a crowler to bring the rest home. For anyone tracking what is being poured in Shibuya right now, this is a bar worth keeping on the radar.
