P2B Haus to Tap 6 New Kegs on 3/28, Including a Pink Beer for Cherry Blossom Season
The Kichijoji beer pub P2B Haus will open from 12:00 on March 28 and tap six new kegs. While the final keg of its 6th-anniversary beer is being retired, the lineup includes a fruit ale made with cherries, timed for hanami season.
Hop BroAt P2B Haus in Kichijoji, six new kegs are coming in all at once for the 12:00 opening on March 28. Seasonal tap changes like this really transform the atmosphere of the place, so it's not one to miss.
MugiWait, six new kegs at once!? If that many change all at once, I feel like I'd get drunk before I could even decide what to drink!
Hop BroThe highlight is Kanpai! Brewing's Sakurazaka Pale Ale. It's a fruit ale made with cherries, perfect for cherry blossom season. And since you can take it out in a plastic cup, it also works well as an outdoor drink.
MugiA fruit ale means a cherry beer? I kind of imagine it being like juice, but does it still really feel like beer?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it adds the aroma of fruit while still keeping the malt character at the base. It's not too sweet, and when it blends with the hop bitterness, it gives you a light, springlike feel.
MugiI see! So it's just right for having a drink under the cherry blossoms. If a pink beer showed up at hanami, I'd probably be shaking so much I'd want to take photos immediately!
Hop BroWhat's more, this is also the end of the final keg of CTO IPA. The close of the 6th-anniversary beer and the arrival of spring newcomers are lined up together, so the flow of the taps feels really clean.
MugiWait, hearing final keg makes it sound dramatic! It feels way too much like a limited-time idol in the beer world - you've got to drink it before it's gone!
Hop BroThe lineup is pretty broad too, with Brasserie Knot's NORA, KUNITACHI BREWERY's Kabu and Immer da, and NOMCRAFT Brewing's Habano Noir. Since it ranges from IPA to pilsner, you can choose anything from light to more full-bodied.
MugiWow, that's a tasting paradise! Today feels like the perfect plan is to start with Sakurazaka for the spring vibe, then finish clean with the Pilsner!
Hop BroIf you want to follow the seasonal tap updates, the 2nd floor of the Wakamatsu Building in Kichijoji is the place to aim for right now. So today, let's make it a stop on the way back from hanami and have that first drink.
MugiAgreed! I want to start spring beer time right now!
At Kichijoji's "P2B Haus," six new kegs will be tapped during business hours on March 28, 12:00-21:00. The lineup changes just after many kegs were kicked the previous day, and the final keg of "CTO IPA," which had been served as the 6th-anniversary beer, will also sell out. The taps in the shop have shifted to a composition with a springlike color palette and satisfying depth.
The main highlight this time is Kanpai! Brewing's "Sakurazaka Pale Ale". This fruit ale uses cherries and is timed to match the peak cherry blossom season. It is also available for takeaway in plastic cups, making it easy to take along as a companion for hanami. The lively tap update that feels right for a beer pub is neatly paired with the season.
The six new taps are:
- P2B Haus house ale "CTO IPA"
- Kanpai! Brewing "Sakurazaka Pale Ale"
- Brasserie Knot "NORA"
- KUNITACHI BREWERY "Kabu"
- KUNITACHI BREWERY "Immer da" w/ Komurobeer
- NOMCRAFT Brewing "Habano Noir"
In addition, the taps on this day will also include Hop Kotan "AKIRA ACT", FUKUOKA "SPRING BREEZE", Knot "TIP", BLACK TIDE "Bell Ringer", NOMCRAFT Brewing "Whole New World", and Wolfbräu "Pilsner". From IPA and kölsch to jasmine IPA and pilsner, the selection spans a wide range, making it easy to choose between something light and something more substantial.
The shop is on the 2nd floor of the Wakamatsu Building in Kichijoji. Regular hours are 16:00-23:00 on weekdays and 12:00-21:00 on weekends and holidays, with Wednesdays offering service in a slightly different style. Because the beer lineup changes quickly here, anyone who wants to keep up with the seasonal taps should aim to visit on update days like this one.
