Wailele in Shibuya Plans Big Wave Golden Ale and Eight Other Drafts on July 5
Wailele, a beer pub in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, is scheduled to open from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 5. The draft list includes Kona Brewing’s Big Wave Golden Ale, along with beers from Maui Brewing, Craft Rock Brewing, and others.
Hop BroTomorrow in Shibuya looks serious: Wailele in Dogenzaka is open July 5 from 3 to 9 p.m., with nine draft pours on deck.
MugiNine draft taps? That's not a pub, that's an event. And Big Wave too? Dogenzaka is going tropical.
Hop BroThe lead pour is Kona Brewing's Big Wave Golden Ale, then VALLESAGRADO 8º Aniversario, Bright Side Pale Ale, and more from Maui Brewing and Craft Rock Brewing.
MugiOkay, but what counts as draft? I understand cans and bottles, but kegs make my brain fizz.
Hop BroIt just means beer poured from a keg. You usually get brighter aroma, finer foam, and a better feel for the style.
MugiThen explain this to me: Pineapple Mana Wheat and Coconut Hiwa Porter both sound amazing, but wheat and porter are styles, right? Not wrestling teams?
Hop BroRight. Peach Weizen signals a soft, fruity wheat-beer feel, while porter brings roasted depth, and Coconut Hiwa Porter layers coconut on top of that.
MugiI'm already thirsty. But when you say hop definition, what am I supposed to picture? A flavor sketch?
Hop BroPretty much. In Alternative IPA, the bitterness and aroma show up with a clear outline, and the range gets even wider with Broken Record IPA, Joker DRY Hard Cider, and Peach Weizen.
MugiUseful warning: cash and PayPay only, plus Hachi Pay. No credit cards. My wallet almost got benched.
Hop BroExactly, so this takes planning. If limited Maui taps are on, starting with Big Wave and finishing with porter sounds dangerously correct.
MugiThen it's settled. Sunday in Shibuya has my name on it, and now I need Big Wave and Peach Weizen immediately.
