Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo updates its 5/30 tap list: Uchu, Cantillon, 3 Sons, and more
Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo released its tap list for May 30. From two Phase Three collaboration beers, Totopia, Uchu, Cantillon, North Park, and 3 Sons, the lineup spans everything from IPAs to lambics and barrel-aged stouts.
Hop BroTakadanobaba Beer Shokudo's Today's Craft Beers update for 5/30 is a pretty bold lineup.
MugiWhoa, what is that? Ten rotating taps plus the regular beer too? I don't know where to look first!
Hop BroThe core is IPA-heavy, with beers like Phase Three × Parish's "Pixel in the Machine" giving you that clear hop definition right up front.
MugiHop definition? You don't mean like drawing lines, right? You mean the aroma really stands out?
Hop BroExactly. It means the hop aroma and bitterness come through clearly. Phase Three × Messorem's "Pixel Demoliri" and Totopia's "Crawphobia" are also beers that let you enjoy the full weight of an IPA.
MugiNice! And they even have Uchu's "Matariki" and "Uchu Pils". Just from the name, Uchu Pils sounds strong!
Hop BroUchu has a playful side, but they're really good at designing flavor. On top of that, having Cantillon's "Saint Blue" and 3 Sons's "Happy Anniversary 7 Year" means you can jump all the way into acidity and barrel aging, which is interesting.
MugiLambic and barrel-aged stuff? Those are suddenly very advanced words! Is that the thing with wild fermentation character?
Hop BroRight. Lambic is appealing because of the acidity from wild yeast, and barrel-aged beers get more depth from resting in barrels. Today you can build a flow from hops to acidity, so it should be fun to pair with food.
MugiDoing that in Takadanobaba sounds amazing! It's a perfect day for a tasting flight, and I want to start with the IPAs!
Hop BroFinishing with Saint Blue or Happy Anniversary 7 Year would be perfect. By the end of the day, you'll want to drink through all that barrel depth.
The beer pub "Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo," near Takadanobaba Station, is known as a place where you can take your time enjoying rotating craft beers on tap. In a May 30 post, it revealed the list posted on its clipboard under Today's Craft Beers. In addition to 10 craft beers, the regular Kirin Heartland was also available that day.
The lineup is led by a strong IPA presence. Phase Three × Parish's "Pixel in the Machine," Phase Three × Messorem's "Pixel Demoliri," Totopia's "Crawphobia (Chicken Claw Phobia)," and Phase Three × Brujos's "Pixel Populus" all offer a clear, hop-forward profile. Also on the list were Uchu's "Matariki" and "Uchu Pils," B.M.B's "Amethyst Eye," Cantillon's "Saint Blue," North Park's "Friends & Neighbors," and 3 Sons's "Happy Anniversary 7 Year," making for a broad spread that also includes a West Coast Pilsner, smoothie sour, lambic, Vienna lager, and barrel-aged imperial stout.
Because the beer styles are clearly separated, it seems like you could start with a hop-driven pour and finish with acidity or barrel aging. In Takadanobaba's unpretentious setting, this looks like the kind of day made for drinking through the lineup while pairing it with food.
