Beer Pub Ishii lines up North Island Brown Ale and six more beers
Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi posted a tap update on Instagram on August 13. The lineup starts with North Island Brown Ale, Let’s Beer Works Meow, Sankt Gallen Shonan Gold, and Shiga Kogen Beer KASUMI, and the shop also noted a temporary closure on August 20.
Hop BroThe August 13 update from Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi is a good one: the headliner is North Island's Brown Ale, and the list shows seven beers in play.
MugiWait, what! I thought they only had four taps, so how are seven beers on the board? Is this pub doing magic?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Beer Pub Ishii runs a four-tap setup: three rotating taps and one permanent Heartland, so the lineup keeps changing as kegs kick.
MugiWhoa. But what did you mean by malt-forward? My beginner brain just tripped over that.
Hop BroMalt is barley that's been sprouted and dried, and it brings bread, nutty, toasty notes. That's why a Brown Ale can have this fresh-baked bread vibe and still drink really gently.
MugiNo way! So Let's Beer Works' Meow, Sankt Gallen's Shonan Gold, and Shiga Kogen's KASUMI are all totally different personalities too?
Hop BroExactly. Shonan Gold leans bright and citrusy, KASUMI sounds hazy and aromatic, and the on-deck list has Brasserie Knot's AWA, Oni Densetsu's Kin-Oni Pale Ale, and Ushitora's Shibuya de Paradise Hazy IPA as the next three pours.
MugiSo 'waiting to be tapped' is basically a beer standby line backstage going, 'Me next!?' That's adorable.
Hop BroAnd the food makes it better: house pickles, fish and chips with three fish options, pork rillette, sausages, taco rice, and even that little let's prep potato salad note that screams neighborhood pub.
MugiThat tiny line alone paints the whole counter scene for me. The working-kitchen atmosphere is somehow a snack too.
Hop BroHours are Wed-Sat 5pm-1am and Sun 3pm-10pm, closed Mon-Tue, and August 20 is a temporary closure, so honestly we should get a pint in before then.
MugiThen it's settled: Brown Ale first, and maybe Shonan Gold or that Hazy IPA after. I already want to go to Beer Pub Ishii.
Beer Pub Ishii, a craft beer pub on Yomise-dori in Tokyo’s Sendagi neighborhood, shared its latest tap status on Instagram on August 13. According to the pub’s official site, it runs four taps: three rotate daily, while one is reserved for Kirin Heartland Lager. The selection changes as kegs run out, so the tap list stays in motion.
The day’s starting lineup was:
- North Island: Brown Ale
- Let’s Beer Works: Meow
- Sankt Gallen: Shonan Gold
- Shiga Kogen Beer: KASUMI
Coming up next were:
- Brasserie Knot: AWA
- Oni Densetsu Beer: Kinoni Pale Ale
- Ushitora Brewery: Shibuya de Paradise Hazy IPA
Food is also part of the draw. The pub lists house pickles, fish and chips with three fish options, pork rillettes, sausages, and taco rice, with the menu changing depending on what is fresh and available. The post’s opening line, “Let’s prepare potato salad,” fits that kitchen-first, neighborhood-pub feel.
Opening hours are Wednesday to Saturday 17:00-25:00, Sunday 15:00-22:00, and closed Monday and Tuesday. The post also notes a temporary closure on August 20.
