IBREW Ebisu Ekimae Store Announces 7 New Taps, with 3 VERTERE Beers Opened
CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ebisu Ekimae Store revealed its new beers on tap for the day in a March 19 post. In addition to three VERTERE beers, the lineup includes MANGOSTEEN BREWING LAB, West Coast Brewing, Bighand Bros. Beer, and COEDO, making it possible to explore a wide range of styles all at once.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the 7 new taps at IBREW Ebisu Ekimae Store. The March 19 post had a seriously strong lineup!
MugiWait, seven at once!? And three VERTERE beers simultaneously? That’s like the opening ceremony for a tasting showdown!
Hop BroThose three are great. Passiflora is a Hazy IPA at 7%, Efulensia is an IPA at 6%, and Iris is a Cold IPA at 6.5%, so you can get a contrast within the same brewery.
MugiWhat! Does Cold IPA mean a cold IPA? That sounds like the name of a magic spell that makes it extra icy!
Hop BroIt’s easy to get confused by the name. Cold IPA isn’t about temperature; it’s about the fermentation design, and it’s a style that makes the beer easier to drink and brings out a crisp finish.
MugiOhhh! So it’s not just juicy stuff, but also snappy IPA styles you can choose from!
Hop BroBacking it up are MANGOSTEEN’s KINDAN NOKAJITU (Weizen with pear, 5%), WCB Alive (West Coast IPA, 7%), Bighand’s Ebichika Night (Lemon Golden Ale, 4.6%), and COEDO Ruri (Pilsner, 5%), so it’s a lineup that’s not overly hazy-heavy.
MugiFruit, bitterness, lemon, and pilsner!? My taste buds are going to be busy! This is way too much of a fast-paced drinking lineup!
Hop BroAs you’d expect from an IBREW basement-floor venue, it works whether you want to dig deep into one glass or hop through several, and it’s smart how they’re also creating a reason to come back next time with BEAT & BREW on March 22 and plans for March 28 to 29.
MugiIt’s decided! I want to start with Passiflora and Ruri, then finish with Iris! Let’s head straight to Ebisu together tonight!
CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ebisu Ekimae Store (Ebisu Minami, Shibuya Ward) announced the day’s new tap openings in an Instagram post on March 19, 2026. The post opens with the story, "A customer who works at @fortgeorgebeer came in," and it is striking how naturally it connects to the broader context of overseas craft beer culture.
The new tap lineup has the kind of composition that really highlights this shop’s enjoyment of comparing beers side by side. From VERTERE in Okutama, they tapped three beers: Passiflora, a Hazy IPA at 7%; Efulensia, an IPA at 6%; and Iris, a Cold IPA at 6.5%. From juicy to crisp, you can trace the differences in expression within a single brewery.
Also on the board are KINDAN NOKAJITU from Yamanashi’s MANGOSTEEN BREWING LAB (Weizen with La France, 5%), Alive from Shizuoka’s West Coast Brewing (West Coast IPA, 7%), Ebichika Night from Kyoto’s Bighand Bros. Beer (Golden Ale with Lemon, 4.6%), and Ruri from Saitama’s COEDO (Pilsner, 5%), giving the lineup a balance that does not lean too heavily toward hazy beers.
As befits a basement-floor beer pub, this lineup works both for digging deep into a single glass and for moving briskly through several styles. The post also mentions in-house event information, including BEAT & BREW on March 22 and a tap takeover scheduled for March 28 to 29, making it an announcement that creates not only reasons to visit that day but also motivation to come back again soon.
