The brewpub Asakusa Beer Kobo (1F, Fujishiro Building, 2-2-2 Nishi-Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo) announced Monday business in a post at 17:23 on March 16, 2026. At the same time, it shared news of a guest beer tapped to line up with the day before St. Patrick's Day.

This time on tap is Mr. GREEN TACKLE (West Coast IPA) from Shizuoka brewery REPUBREW. The post describes it as having a "bright green color," "juicy citrus aroma," and "refreshing bitterness," conveying that it is a beer that balances visual impact with the satisfying drinkability expected of an IPA.

March 17, St. Patrick's Day, is a day symbolized by "green." At Asakusa Beer Kobo, the brewery is serving a green beer in keeping with that context, offering a seasonal way to drink. It is a topic that works both for having one light beer on a Monday and for a night when you want to compare drinks more seriously.

While centering on its own brewing, the way it strategically brings in a guest keg at just the right time is one of the hallmarks of a brewpub. Whether you stop by while strolling around Asakusa or visit specifically for the beer, this is a tap announcement worth checking out for both its buzz and its flavor.
