DevilCraft Tokyo Brewery previews five beers for Shimodabrewing TTO
On August 4, DevilCraft Tokyo Brewery shared the beer lineup for Shimodabrewing’s tap takeover. Ahead of the August 8 service, one tap was changed from a Hazy IPA to Coconut Stout, bringing the list to five beers.
Hop BroDevilCraft Tokyo Brewery, the small-batch outfit in Shinagawa, just revealed five beers for August 8 at the TTO.
MugiWhat! The one at Shimodabrewing? Hearing a five-keg lineup already makes me want to camp in front of the taps!
Hop BroAnd the big twist is that the originally listed Hazy IPA got swapped for Coconut Stout, which is catnip for dark-beer fans.
MugiHold on, so it's basically a full tap takeover? That name sounds like a very polite brewery heist!
Hop BroExactly, just a peaceful one. A TTO means the taps get filled by one brewery, so this night is basically an all-DevilCraft festival.
MugiNice! Then give me the roster, because Green Room and Zephyr already sound like a breeze and a soundtrack.
Hop BroFirst you've got Green Room, an XPA at 5.0%, Zephyr, a West Coast IPA at 6.2%, and BLACK WAX, a Coconut Stout at 4.9%. That opening trio alone is strong.
MugiWait, TYJ is a Fruited Sour in smoothie style? Is that a beer that thinks it's breakfast?
Hop BroNot breakfast, but close in spirit. It means a fruit-heavy sour with a thick feel, and TYJ is 3.3%. Then there's Shimoda Lager at 5.0%, a German Pils that rounds out the spread.
MugiSo we've got light, bitter, tart, and dark all in one set? My imaginary drinking order is already getting serious.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. DevilCraft runs multiple Tokyo spots while brewing in small batches, and this lineup really shows their range beyond pizza.
MugiI always pictured them with pizza first, but this makes the beer itself the star. On August 8, I want the full tap crawl.
Hop BroStart with Green Room and finish with BLACK WAX, and the arc basically writes itself. Talking about it has me in I need all five pours mode.
DevilCraft Tokyo Brewery, which continues to brew small-batch beer in Shinagawa, Tokyo, posted photos tied to Shimodabrewing’s tap takeover. The post also noted that a previous announcement had not been reflected properly, and this update was shared as a corrected lineup.
The five beers are XPA "Green Room" at 5.0%, West Coast IPA "Zephyr" at 6.2%, Coconut Stout "BLACK WAX" at 4.9%, German Pils "Shimoda Lager" at 5.0%, and Fruited Sour (Smoothie-style) "TYJ" at 3.3%. The biggest change is the swap from a Hazy IPA to Coconut Stout, which should be welcome news for stout fans.
DevilCraft has built its identity around brewing in Tokyo while serving beer across its pub network. This lineup shows a broad range, from crisp and hoppy to dark and dessert-like, making the tap takeover feel more like a full spectrum tasting than a one-note release. Starting with the XPA and finishing with the stout would make for a clean progression on the day.
