Three U.S. beers tapped in springtime Ebisu


In a spring atmosphere that is sunny but a little chilly, IBREW Ebisu Ekimae announced new U.S. craft beer taps. The lineup includes Karl Strauss's `Boat Shoes IPA`, El Segundo Brewing's `Burn Off Hazy IPA`, and LA Ale Works' `Blue Vibes 2`. All three are IPA styles, creating a setup where you can compare a hazy IPA and a West Coast IPA.

Four-company event on April 11


Inside the venue, a Special Collaboration Beer Release by Yamamorido, Swan Lake Beer, karuizawa Q, and HEIWA CRAFT, along with a four-company TAP TAKEOVER, is scheduled for Saturday, April 11. About six beers from each company, for a total of 24 varieties, are planned to be tapped, and guest appearances from each brewery have also been announced from around 3 p.m. A rock-paper-scissors contest for merchandise is also planned, so it looks set to be a highly eventful day.
