The World End in Ueno announces 9 guest taps including Oni Densetsu and Oud Beersel
The World End ‐Irish Pub‐ in Ueno has announced its tap list for an April 8 opening at 4:00 p.m. From IPA to lambic, the lineup spans a wide range, including Oni Densetsu Beer, Fauve Craft Biere, BrewDog, and Oud Beersel.
Hop BroThe World End ‐Irish Pub‐ in Ueno has rolled out its tap list for an April 8 opening at 4:00 p.m. Both the regular and guest lineups are strong, so today’s setup is clearly trying to get you drinking.
MugiWhoa! Just seeing the tap list release is enough to get me excited - I think I might already be deep in this hole! What can I drink in Ueno?
Hop BroFirst up is Kin Oni Pale Ale in a Citra ver. It has that solid hop character you’d expect from Oni Densetsu Beer, with Citra adding a citrus edge - the kind of beer that grabs you by the nose.
MugiCitra ver.? What is that! Does it mean the hop aroma is strong? Even the name sounds delicious, but when the jargon hits all at once my brain starts wobbling!
Hop BroExactly. Citra is the name of a hop variety, and it tends to give a citrusy impression. There’s also Kisshōzaka IPA Classic and Let’s Beer Works × Oasobier’s Mild Quest Nitro ver., so IPA fans should be satisfied.
MugiWhat is that, is Nitro ver. the one with the softer foam? And if it’s mild, does that mean it’s not just a big hit but also easy to drink?
Hop BroThat’s right. It’s also great that Fauve Craft Biere’s DDH NZ DIPA is on there. DDH means heavily dry-hopped, and NZ means New Zealand hops, so the aroma has serious depth.
MugiSuddenly that explanation feels like a science experiment! But hearing aroma-forward pour makes me feel as bright as a fruit stand.
Hop BroAnd there’s BrewDog’s Hazy Sakura Hazy IPA, Oni Densetsu × Synchronicity’s Oni Ripi Hoppy Saison, and Oud Beersel’s one-year-aged lambic and Winter Lambiek too. It’s a lineup that takes you on a fermentation journey through IPAs, saisons, and lambics.
MugiHaving lambic on there is amazing! Tart fermented beers feel a bit like an adult romance, so I’m curious - a tasting flight would definitely be fun.
Hop BroOn top of that, happy hour runs until 7:00 p.m. on weekdays, with 10-20% off drinks and food, which is strong value. There’s also the 14th anniversary event starting at 3:00 p.m. on April 26, so this is the kind of place that makes you want more than just one pint in Ueno.
MugiYeah, today I’m in the mood to bounce between the classics and the quirky picks! Should I start with Guinness to settle in and then go after the guest taps, or jump straight into lambic? I’m thinking too hard, and now my throat’s getting dry first!
