Hop BroTogoshi Ginza has a spot worth watching: drifter’s stand. On September 3, they posted that Totopia Brewery’s Expansionphobia and Tinyphobia are on this week’s tap list.
MugiWait, a Totopia Brewery double feature? Those names already sound intense. My excitement is basically carbonated now!
Hop BroFirst up, Expansionphobia is a DDH West Coast DIPA with Mosaic Cryo, Southern Cross, and even Southern Cross Hop Kief. It layers a golden color with fresh pineapple, soft bitterness, resin, and a dank texture.
MugiHold on, what is dank supposed to mean here? Your beer vocabulary just walked into a mysterious basement!
Hop BroBasically, it means big hop aroma. Think grassy, resinous, deep hop character, and with DDH the edges of that flavor get drawn really clearly.
MugiOhhh, so pineapple and resin means it can feel tropical but still sharp? The West Coast really is doing a lot!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It sounds built around a clean West Coast finish, while still letting you track every line of the hops.
MugiThen what about Tinyphobia? DH Sour IPA already sounds like a style having three opinions at once!
Hop BroTinyphobia uses Blackberry and Mango, plus cinnamon. It’s described as having a noble grape-like color, honeyed sweetness, wild-berry acidity, and a touch of tannic, earthy depth.
MugiWhat is this, a royal purple pour with berry tang and cinnamon too? That glass sounds like a fruit market and a forest teamed up!
Hop BroAnd the place itself helps. With an intimate 12-seat room, a two-person limit per group, and no smoking, it sounds ideal for calmly comparing Expansionphobia and Tinyphobia. I absolutely want a pint now.
MugiThen we need to move while the current tap list is hot! I totally want to chase Totopia in Togoshi Ginza and line these two up side by side right now!
[Drifter’s Stand](/app) in Togoshi Ginza, Tokyo, has highlighted two beers from Totopia Brewery in its latest Instagram post: Expansionphobia and Tinyphobia.
Expansionphobia is described as a DDH West Coast DIPA brewed with Mosaic Cryo, Southern Cross, and Southern Cross Hop Kief. The beer is presented as golden in color, with fresh pine, gentle bitterness, resinous notes, and a dank texture. It is a clear, hop-forward beer that leans into the modern West Coast style.
Tinyphobia is a DH Sour IPA made with blackberry, mango, and cinnamon. The post describes it as having a deep grape-like color, honeyed sweetness, berry-like acidity, a light astringency, and a wild, earthy edge. It reads as a more fruit-driven sour, with a wide interpretation of what sour beer can be.
The bar itself is a compact space, with a maximum of 12 guests inside and a two-person limit per group. That setting makes it a good stop for drinkers who want to focus on the beer rather than the noise around it. For fans of Totopia Brewery, this is a straightforward update worth noting.
