TBE Brewing Updates Taps on April 30: 10 Domestic and Overseas Beers Plus 3 NEXT TAPs
The beer pub "TBE Brewing" in Ebisu Minami updated its tap list as of April 30. In addition to the 10 beers currently on offer, it is also announcing 3 NEXT TAP BEER selections. From IPA and pale ale to pilsner styles, it is a lineup that makes it easy to choose a drink around the holiday period.
Hop BroToday there’s an update from TBE Brewing in Ebisu Minami. As of April 30, they’ve lined up 10 beers you can drink now plus 3 NEXT TAPs, so it’s a pretty compelling selection.
MugiWhoa! 10 beers available right now!? Just looking at the tap list is making me hungry, but with that many on the board I’d have no idea where to start!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part, because the IPAs are really well represented. You’ve got beers like G-BRAND BEERERS’ "Rock'n'Roll IPA" and Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Shiga Kogen IPA" and "Sono Ju No.10 IPA," so there’s a clear thread built around enjoying hop aroma.
MugiI hear people talk about hop aroma all the time, but what does hop character even mean? People say things like "green aroma" or "citrus," but every time it stays kind of vague to me.
Hop BroPut simply, the aroma is led by the hops. Citrus-like, pine-like, tropical, grassy, and other personalities come through, and it’s easy to understand IPA as the style that puts that front and center.
MugiI see! So things like "Classic Pale Ale" or "Amber Swan Ale" are the easy-drinking section? If it’s all strong aromas all the time, Mugi’s head would get full halfway through.
Hop BroExactly, and that’s what’s nice here: the pale and amber options are included. With Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Classic Pale Ale" and Swan Lake’s "Amber Swan Ale," it’s easy to create some pace and contrast between IPAs.
MugiWow, and they even have Strawberry Hazy IPA!? Strawberry and hazy already sounds delicious, a little mysterious, and impossible not to be curious about!
Hop BroHazy means a cloudy IPA, and it tends to have a juicy mouthfeel. Ishinomaki Hops Works’ "Strawberry Hazy IPA" and Outsider’s "Lagoon Juicy IPA" should make that direction pretty clear.
MugiOhhh! So this means the current TBE Brewing lineup makes it easy to choose your next beer. It’s fun to drink now, and it’s exciting to wait for the NEXT TAP, "Kind of Gold," to arrive!
Hop BroExactly. It’s perfect for a beer around the holiday period, and the fun includes even the time spent looking over the taps in the Ebisu Minami beer pub while you decide. It’s one of those days when both Mugi and I would want a pint.
MugiYeah, this is definitely the kind of article that makes you want to go out for drinks. Maybe the right move is to go all in on IPAs and then settle down with a pale ale at the end, or aim straight for the NEXT TAP from the start!
