SOUL BIRD in Hamamatsucho Updates 10 Taps, Opening Hoppukotan Brewing’s “CoCo麦” and More
The beer pub Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD in Hamamatsucho updated its tap list in an Instagram post on May 14 under the banner “HAPPY NIGHT SOUL BIRD.” Of the 10 taps, nine identifiable beers were announced, including Hoppukotan Brewing’s “CoCo麦” and Belching Beaver’s “Must be the Honey.”
Hop BroSOUL BIRD in Hamamatsucho has updated its 10 taps, and it sounds like a pretty fun night. And today they brought in Hoppukotan Brewing’s CoCo麦 and Belching Beaver’s Must be the Honey, right?
MugiWhat, ten beers on tap!? That’s not a fridge, that’s an aquarium of beer cruising around!
Hop BroAnd CoCo麦 is a Coconut Wheat Ale. The softness of a wheat ale plus that coconut-like aroma gives it a nice tropical feel.
MugiWheat ale? What even is that! Does adding wheat make it softer on the palate?
Hop BroExactly. To put it simply, wheat tends to add a smooth, rounded texture. When you layer coconut notes on top of that, it becomes a beer that feels light but still has a bit of personality.
MugiOhhh! Then Must be the Honey sounds sweet just from the name, so I’m curious! A honey beer seems easy to drink, doesn’t it?
Hop BroThat’s right. This one from Belching Beaver is known for its smooth drinkability. It’s a Blonde Ale, so it goes down easily without feeling heavy, which makes it a good first beer too.
MugiAnd there’s even more!? Topsy Choco Orange, Kuma wa Tenneniro, and all these names are making me hungry already!
Hop BroThe lineup is great, too. They’ve got everything from Pale Ale to HAZY, IPA, and even the Gravity Waves collaboration, so you can pick based on your mood. That really feels like SOUL BIRD.
MugiAnd it’s awesome that it’s in Hamamatsucho, so you can stop by after work! I want to grab a seat early, start with CoCo麦, and finish with Honey!
SOUL BIRD Refreshes Its 10-Tap Lineup for the Night
Cafe & CraftBeer Dining SOUL BIRD (Hamamatsucho, Minato-ku, Tokyo) is a beer pub where you can enjoy craft beer in the Hamamatsucho and Daimon area. In this post, alongside business information for Thursday, May 14, it updated its “Today's BEER on TAP” list, clearly showing the “available now” lineup inside the shop.
The newly opened beers confirmed for the day were Hoppukotan Brewing’s CoCo麦 (Coconut Wheat Ale) and Belching Beaver’s Must be the Honey (Blonde Ale). The post also described the flavor characteristics of each: the former as a wheat ale with coconut-derived notes, and the latter as a smooth-drinking beer brewed with honey.
Other beers on the tap list included 2nd Story Ale Works’ Topsy Choco Orange, Matsue Beer Herun’s Pale Ale Motueka ver., Chichibu Bakushu’s Kuma wa Tenneniro, Tono Brewing’s SOUTHERN HAZY, Burnt Mill×Sureshot’s Gravity Waves, KOBO BREWERY’s IPA, and Threes Brewing’s Good Bad News. Tap 1 was marked only as “new” in the post, and the beer name could not be confirmed.
SOUL BIRD is appealing as a place for gatherings, with half-private room reservations, full venue reservations, a projector, and standing-party support. The post also noted that “early in the evening, only a few table seats remain,” suggesting a service style that works for everything from one drink after work to a relaxed multi-drink session. It was an evening where you could scan the 10 taps and choose a glass to match your mood.
