IBREW Shinbashi Ekimae taps Gangi Brewing's CRACKIN' and three guests
CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Shinbashi Ekimae posted a tap update on August 28. Two new beers arrived from Gangi Brewing and NOMCRAFT BREWING, while two JOKUN BREWING LAB beers had already been opened the previous evening. The lineup works well for a quick stop, with counter and standing service available.
Hop BroShimbashi has a strong after-work move today: CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Shimbashi Ekimae just announced four fresh taps.
MugiWait, right by the station? If they've got counter seats and standing room, that's dangerously easy to call a quick stop.
Hop BroThe new pours are Gangi Brewing's CRACKIN', a Casklish IPA with orange peel, and NOMCRAFT BREWING's Green Magic, a Hazy IPA, making it a neat 4.5% face-off.
MugiHold on, Casklish IPA sounds like a spell. What does that even mean?
Hop BroBasically, it aims for that soft, cask-like feel; CRACKIN' should land with bright orange aroma and an easy-drinking body.
MugiOhhh, so Green Magic brings the soft hazy texture side of things. Same ABV, totally different personality.
Hop BroAnd from last night there are two JOKUN BREWING LAB beers: BLK☆Star, a 5.0% stout, and Jokun IPA, a 7.0% Hazy IPA, listed as two special pours.
MugiThat escalated fast. A stout with depth and a 7.0% hazy? That's not a detour, that's a plan. Also, go early warning received.
Hop BroExactly. It's close to the station, easy for one quick glass, but the lineup is broad enough for a tasting route from light IPA to stout.
MugiI'm already building the order in my head: CRACKIN' first, Green Magic next. Tonight's first pint is locked.
Hop BroThat sequence works. Finish on BLK☆Star and you've got citrus, haze, heft, and roast, basically a complete Shimbashi night in four pours.
MugiNow I'm thirsty for real. After-work dash to IBREW sounds like the only responsible choice.
Four beers on tap in Shinbashi
CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Shinbashi Ekimae announced a guest-beer update in its Instagram post on August 28. The shop described the day as hot and muggy, and also noted that guests can drop in easily after work thanks to counter seating and standing service.
New taps for the day
- Gangi Brewing / CRACKIN'
Casklish IPA w/Orange Peel, Niigata, 4.5%
- NOMCRAFT BREWING / Green Magic
Hazy IPA, Wakayama, 4.5%
CRACKIN' is an orange-peel Casklish IPA, so the aroma and brightness should come through clearly. Green Magic offers a hazy, softer direction at the same ABV, making the pair easy to compare side by side.
Beers opened the evening before
- JOKUN BREWING LAB / BLK☆Star
Stout, Niigata, 5.0%
- JOKUN BREWING LAB / ジョークンIPA
Hazy IPA, Niigata, 7.0%
These two were opened the previous evening, and the post notes that they were treated as special beers. BLK☆Star gives the stout side of the lineup, while JOKUN IPA brings a stronger, fuller hazy option at 7.0% ABV. The shop also said the beers had already been pouring well, so an earlier visit makes sense.
Located in Shinbashi Ekimae Building No. 1, the bar is a practical stop for anyone who wants a short tasting session or a quick pint after work. This tap set moves from a citrusy IPA to a hazy IPA, then into stout and a stronger hazy beer, so it covers a wide range in one visit.
