Beer pub Bibibi in Daikanyama, Tokyo, is currently serving its original collaboration beer, Bibibibibraphone.

The beer was brewed jointly with Butterfly Brewery, based in Kasugai, Aichi. Bibibi has developed original beers for its annual staff summer gathering, and this release marks a long-awaited collaboration with Butterfly Brewery, a brewery the pub has known since its early days.

Bibibibibraphone is a gose, a style characterized by acidity and salinity. For Butterfly Brewery, it represents a new stylistic challenge. Lemon, an ingredient the brewery had not previously used, was added to create a highly drinkable lemon gose suited to warm weather. Expect a bright lemon aroma, lively acidity, and a balanced touch of salt.

The name also reflects Butterfly Brewery’s connection with music. The brewery has named beers after instruments such as the guitar, flute, piccolo, and viola. The vibraphone was chosen because it pairs naturally with the name Bibibi, resulting in the playful title Bibibibibraphone.

Located in Castle Mansion in Daikanyama, Bibibi is a beer pub where guests can enjoy not only carefully selected craft beer but also the stories behind each collaboration. Visitors looking for a refreshing, citrus-forward beer in Daikanyama can check the pub’s current availability before visiting.
