TBE Brewing in Ebisu posts Aug. 14 keg lineup with Shiga Kogen Beer and CRAK Brewery
TBE Brewing, a beer pub in Ebisu Minami, shared its Aug. 14 keg lineup. The board spans domestic breweries like Shiga Kogen Beer, Minoh Beer, and Hino Brewing, plus Italy's CRAK Brewery, covering everything from DPA to Hazy IPA.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the August 14 keg lineup at TBE Brewing in Ebisu, and it’s a strong one. They’ve got Shiga Kogen Beer, Minoh Beer, Hino Brewing, and even Italy’s CRAK Brewery.
MugiWhat! Even Shiga Kogen Beer is on there? And an overseas brewery too? That tap list sounds less like a pub menu and more like a world championship.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Their 10 taps cover from DPA to Hazy IPA. You’ve got Shiga Kogen’s “DPA” and “Sono Juu No.10 IPA,” plus CRAK Brewery’s “Mundaka.”
MugiOkay, but what even is DPA? It looks like IPA’s cousin, but is it secretly a completely different person?
Hop BroDPA usually sits in a Draft Pale Ale kind of lane, so think of it as an easy-drinking pale ale. It’s generally less aggressive than an IPA and more about balance and aroma.
MugiThat actually sounds beginner-friendly. But then Minoh Beer shows up with Coffee IPA and now I have questions. Am I supposed to wake up or get tipsy first?
Hop BroThat’s exactly why it’s interesting. Coffee IPA layers roast notes with hop aroma, and the next lineup even includes a DDH Hazy IPA from Hop Dog.
MugiHold on, is DDH a spell? If I say it wrong in front of the staff, am I summoning some kind of aggressive hop spirit?
Hop BroI’d pay to see that, but DDH means Double Dry Hop. Basically it’s extra hops added late to push the aroma way up. “FaRM to YOU DDH Hazy IPA” sounds promising already.
MugiAnd it’s not just what’s pouring now. Ishinomaki Hop Works’ “4 in LOVE” and Shiga Kogen Beer’s Muga Muchu waiting next make the whole thing feel dangerously unfair.
Hop BroThe food list is serious too. Tuna sashimi, grape-fed beef shoulder steak, mussel oil pasta, and some beers already have low remaining volume, so this is a go-early situation.
MugiThen it’s settled: straight to Ebisu tonight. I’m starting with the easy DPA, moving to Coffee IPA, and finishing on Hazy IPA. My stomach and my throat are fully in TBE Brewing mode.
TBE Brewing in Ebisu shares its Aug. 14 keg lineup
TBE Brewing, on the second floor of Shinbora Guitar Building in Ebisu Minami, posted its keg lineup for August 14. The pub, known for its compact 10-tap setup, is showing a broad mix of styles from Japanese and overseas breweries: DPA, sour beer, IPA, coffee IPA, and Hazy IPA.
Beers on tap now
The current keg list includes Shiga Kogen Beer "DPA" and "Itsu no Jyu No.10 IPA," Romanchikku Mura "Tochigi Berry Berry Sour," CRAK Brewery "Mundaka," Black Tide "#499 Summer Loop," Ushiku Brewing "Gohobi," Hino Brewing "Zutto Yare IPA" and "Don't Yare IPA," and Minoh Beer "Osaru IPA" and "Coffee IPA." A few of the kegs are noted as running low.
Next taps are already lined up
The next beers listed are Ishinomaki Hops Works "4 in LOVE," Hop Dog "FaRM to YOU DDH Hazy IPA," and Shiga Kogen Beer "Mugamuchu." That kind of turnover is part of the appeal of a tap-forward beer pub: the board keeps moving.
Food to pair with the pours
The food menu leans substantial, with dishes such as natural Indian tuna sashimi, grape beef shoulder steak, vegetable ajillo, house-made snack char siu, shiso-and-plum chicken sasami cutlet, fried green pepper, and oil pasta with mussels, tomato, and celery. It works as a place to drink slowly, but also as a full meal spot.
