Our Brewing 19-Tap Takeover at CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza
A 19-tap takeover by Fukui’s Our Brewing will be held at CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza in Yaesu, Tokyo, from April 11 to April 12. The featured highlight is the early release of the collaboration beer "Yuzu Dragon," along with a diverse lineup of 19 beers.
Hop BroThis time it’s being held at IBREW Ginza in Tokyo’s Yaesu, and Fukui’s Our Brewing is taking over the whole place with a 19-tap takeover.
MugiWait, 19 different beers? If there are that many, I’d probably groan at the table trying to figure out where to start!
Hop BroThe first thing to note is the early-release Yuzu Dragon. It’s built as a tribute to Yellow Dragon, and it layers yuzu aroma onto a Sake Pale Ale.
MugiWhat is that! Is a Sake Pale Ale sake? Is it beer? My head is already dancing with yuzu!
Hop BroSimply put, it adds sake-derived nuances to the malt sweetness and hop aroma. Then the yuzu comes through gently, so the flavor feels like a bridge between Japanese character and craft beer.
MugiOh wow! And it’s only for those two days, April 11 to 12, right? That’s the kind of thing you clear your schedule for the moment you find it!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too. Along with Four Dimensions, the Hoppy Hour series, and the Magic Flavour series, there are beers like Snow Buddy and Berry S’OUR, so you can enjoy everything from bold IPA character to tartness and lightness all at once.
MugiWait, it’s not just IPAs!? The range of flavors is so wide it’s basically a beer amusement park!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting thing about Our Brewing. They also have a JBC award-winning track record, so it’s not just about quantity; each beer is carefully designed. And since representative Okada is also scheduled to come by, it’s exciting to be able to drink while hearing directly from the brewer.
MugiAnd there are special yuzu dishes too, right? Hearing that, there’s no way this ends with just beer!
Hop BroExactly. Pair it with Chef Anesaki’s dishes and the shape of Yuzu Dragon will come through even more clearly. There are also souvenir beers and limited-edition goods, so it’s an event where you can drink, eat, and take something home too.
MugiAt this point, I’ve got no choice but to raise a glass in Ginza! If there are 19 taps, I’m going to seriously train myself with a tasting marathon today!
Our Brewing Arrives on 19 Taps
At CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza, a beer pub in Yaesu, Tokyo, a 19-tap takeover by Fukui’s Our Brewing will be held for two days on Saturday, April 11 through Sunday, April 12. With a record of being the only Japanese brewery to place in the IPA category at JBC, this is a large-scale event in which the brewery will take over the venue all at once.
The main attraction this time is the early release of the collaboration beer "Yuzu Dragon". Created as a tribute to the existing beer "Yellow Dragon," it is a Sake Pale Ale layered with the aroma of yuzu. It is a limited-edition offering unique to the event, allowing visitors to enjoy both sake-derived nuances and bright citrus notes.
A Wide 19-Beer Lineup
