On June 20, Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi posted its latest rainy-day tap list on Instagram.

Hop BroBeer Pub Ishii in Sendagi just posted a rainy-day tap list, and the lineup is seriously good.
MugiWait, they pick beers for rainy days? Beer Pub Ishii really reads the mood that well?
Hop BroYep. Out of four taps, three rotate daily, and one is the permanent Heartland. That's what makes the place fun every time you visit.
MugiHold on, three of four taps keep changing? That's basically a beer lottery and I am absolutely falling for it.
Hop BroThe starting four were Shingetsu Beer's Oatmeal Stout, Hansharo Beer's Toretate Green Tea Ale, Hop Kotan Brewery's AKIRA Bayashi, and Hitachino Nest's Grapefruit Lager.
MugiWhoa! But Oatmeal Stout? What is that, breakfast somehow turned into beer?
Hop BroIt just means oats are used to soften the texture of the stout. So think smooth dark beer, which is perfect for a rainy day.
MugiOkay, got it. So the Green Tea Ale and Grapefruit Lager are the fresh-and-bright team? I like having options beyond dark beer.
Hop BroExactly. And waiting to be tapped are Ushitora Brewery's Double Furin, Hop Kotan's epana #6, Sankt Gallen's Golden Ale, and Brasserie Knot's BIRD, so the next wave is strong too.
MugiWhat is this lineup, even the bench is stacked! A rainy-day stopover there is definitely not ending at one drink.
Hop BroRight? Put that kind of Japanese craft lineup on Yomise-dori between Sendagi and Yanaka, and it already feels like one drink won't cut it.
MugiTotally! I want to start with Grapefruit Lager, move to Green Tea Ale, and finish on the stout. I'm fully in a chase-the-drafts mood now!
Beer Pub Ishii, located at 3-45-8 Sendagi in Bunkyo, Tokyo along Yomise-dori, shared a new tap update suited to the rainy season. The pub’s official site describes a four-tap setup: three rotating taps and one permanent Heartland pour, which makes the beer list change from visit to visit.

- Hitachino Nest, "Grapefruit Lager"
Waiting in the wings were Ushi Tora Brewery "Double Furin," Hop Kotan Brewing "epana #6," Sankt Gallen "Golden Ale," and Brasserie Knot "BIRD." The range spans stout, tea-infused ale, lager, and golden ale, giving drinkers a clear sense of the day’s direction before they even step inside.
Beer Pub Ishii is a compact neighborhood beer pub focused on Japanese craft beer. Its location on the border of Sendagi and Yanaka makes it an easy stop for a quick pint after work or a slower session with food.
