TBE Brewing in Ebisu Lists 10 Japanese Craft Beers
TBE Brewing, a beer pub in Ebisu, Tokyo, has published a tap list featuring 10 beers from Japanese breweries. The selection ranges from hop-forward IPAs to a porter, with beers from Romanchic Village, Harvestmoon, IHW, Shiga Kogen Beer, and Minoh Beer.
Hop BroTBE Brewing in Ebisu has released a tap list with ten craft beers, mainly from Japanese breweries. It is a dangerous lineup for IPA lovers—in the best way.
MugiTen beers?! With an IPA-focused lineup, can a beginner like me actually enjoy a tasting flight?
Hop BroAbsolutely. You can compare Romantic Village’s Dogfight IPA, 5.9%, Harvestmoon’s Yoichi Style IPA at 6.0%, and IHW’s Three Islands IPA at 6.0%.
MugiDo IPAs really change by region? Is an IPA comparison not just a contest to see what is most bitter?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. IPA means India Pale Ale, and it celebrates hop aroma and bitterness—think citrus, herbal notes, and different finishes.
MugiWhat?! So it is not only bitter; the aromas change too. I might turn into a hop detective with my nose stuck in every glass!
Hop BroShiga Kogen Beer alone brings six options: Fresh Hop IPA, No.10 IPA, From Scratch, Shiga Kogen IPA, House IPA, and more—a whole range of personalities.
MugiSix from Shiga Kogen alone?! That is less like choosing beer and more like an IPA final exam!
Hop BroNo need to rush. From Scratch at 5.0% is lighter, while House IPA at 8.0% and Minoh Beer’s W-IPA at 9.0% offer more weight.
MugiWhat does the W mean? Double the danger? My cheeks may turn twice as red!
Hop BroPretty much. W-IPA means Double IPA: it often uses more hops and malt and has a higher ABV, so it is a beer to sip slowly.
MugiAnd there is a porter too, right? Being able to detour to Shiga Kogen Porter, 5.5% during the IPA festival sounds wonderfully reassuring.
Hop BroExactly. Its malt-driven roastiness makes a great contrast with IPA. TBE Brewing is on the second floor of the Shinbori Guitar Building in Ebisu-minami—check the latest taps before you go.
MugiDone! We start with a light IPA and finish with porter. I want an Ebisu toast right now!
