Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi posts a chicken confit and eight-beer tap update
Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, shared an update featuring chicken confit and its current tap lineup. The beers on tap start with four names from Hopkotan Brewing, Miyata Beer, Brasserie Knot, and Ushitora Brewery, while four more beers are listed as waiting to be tapped.
Hop BroSendagi’s Beer Pub Ishii just rolled out a tap update with chicken confit on the side. That is a very deliberate way to make people stay for another pint.
MugiWhat, not just beer but a real food pairing too? That is absolutely a show-up-hungry situation!
Hop BroAnd the first four pours are a perfect comparison lineup. There’s Hop Kotan Brewing’s Ongoing, Miyata Beer’s Golden Ale, Brasserie Knot’s FLOWER, and Ushitora Brewery’s Hopsniper IPA.
MugiThose names already sound intense... but what does tap lineup even mean? Is this like introducing the band members before the concert?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s not far off. A tap lineup is the set of draft beers currently connected, and the order matters because it shapes the flow from light and easy to bold and bitter.
MugiOhhh! So you could start with Golden Ale and then work your way up to Hopsniper IPA like a difficulty curve?
Hop BroExactly, and the beers waiting to be opened are strong follow-up moves too. There’s Sankt Gallen’s Whey Sour Ale Strawberry, Kanpai! Brewing’s Konpirazaka Mexican Lager, Brasserie Knot’s BIRD, and Shingetsu Beer’s American IPA1.
MugiHold on, Whey Sour Ale is a thing? That sounds like a science project that somehow also brought strawberries!
Hop BroWhey is milk serum, and it can give a beer soft, gentle acidity. Add strawberry on top and it could land somewhere between bright refreshment and dessert territory.
MugiThat is wild, my mouth is already busy before I’ve even ordered. And if the taps keep rotating, the whole table mood changes every time!
Hop BroThey also posted 6pm to 11pm hours for August 10 and 11, so the ideal move is confit on the table, Golden Ale first, IPA second, and maybe getting lucky with one of the waiting taps.
MugiThen it’s settled. In Sendagi, I’m going for one plate, two pints... or maybe three. Beer Pub Ishii sounds way too tempting now!
