Hop BroAt the beer pub `taki` in Shibuya Sakuragaoka, a limited-edition HIGHBURY × Baeren beer is being tapped today. It's called `ONMENBRAU／オンメンブロイ`, and the fact that you can enjoy it on all 3 taps today is pretty exciting for beer fans, isn't it?
MugiWhoa, only 3 taps? That doesn't sound like much, but it makes it feel like a lineup of chosen three!
Hop Bro`taki` is a place that serves beer and sake selected from all over Japan, and this time `ONMENBRAU`, `Yamaguchi no Mugi`, and `Rising Sun Pale Ale` are on tap. That kind of rotating-keg fun is what makes this place special.
MugiWhat? `ONMENBRAU` sounds strong just from the name, but what kind of beer is a Rauch Bock?
Hop BroRauch means smoke, and Bock is basically a fuller-bodied lager, so in short, it's a beer where the toasty aroma of smoked malt takes center stage. And with an ABV of 7.0-8.0%, it has a solid body, so it lands heavier than it looks.
MugiOh, so it's the kind that doesn't just smell good, but really hits once you drink it. The number 65% rauch malt also makes me feel like a craft beer insider!
Hop BroExactly. Because it uses 65% German rauch malt overall, the smoke aroma forms the core of the beer. And the way they keep the aroma restrained with 100% German hops is really understated in a good way.
MugiThat sounds super well balanced! And `taki` having six counter seats and four table seats gives it a great small-space density, too.
Hop BroIt's easy to get to from Shibuya Station, and you can pair it with creative Japanese dishes and fresh seafood sourced directly from suppliers. So even with a characterful beer like `ONMENBRAU`, the appeal is that you can drink it calmly with food.
MugiNice, I want to try `Yamaguchi no Mugi` and `Rising Sun Pale Ale` too, and now I feel like I want to finish all three beers today!
Hop BroRight? Days like this make even deciding fun. So for the last round, let's start with the toastiness and strength of `ONMENBRAU`, then use the other two to set the flow.
MugiAgreed! Today I feel like going to `taki` to drink a glass of limited-edition brew!
Enjoy Three Taps in Shibuya Sakuragaoka, Including a Limited Brew
The beer pub `taki` in Sakuragaoka-cho, Shibuya Ward, is open today, Tuesday, April 14, from 17:00 to 24:00. Last order is 23:00 for food and 23:30 for drinks, and the shop will be closed the following day.
`taki` is a place that serves Japanese craft beer and sake selected by the owner after traveling around the country. Draft beer is offered on a rotating 3-tap basis, and this time a new keg was tapped as a guest beer.
Tapped Beers
- `HIGHBURY × Baeren` `ONMENBRAU／オンメンブロイ`
- `Yamaguchi Beer` `Yamaguchi no Mugi`
- `Baird Brewing` `Rising Sun Pale Ale`
The highlight is the collaboration beer `ONMENBRAU／オンメンブロイ` from `HIGHBURY × Baeren`. It is a `Rauch Bock`, with an ABV of `7.0-8.0%`, and is characterized by the toasty aroma of smoked malt, a robust body, and a gentle aroma from 100% German hops. The description calls it a rich lager made with 65% German rauch malt (smoked malt).
`taki` is a small shop with six counter seats and four table seats, and it is conveniently located for access from Shibuya Station. The appeal is being able to enjoy rotating craft beer quietly alongside creative Japanese dishes and fresh seafood sourced directly from producers. It is a place with a wide selection that includes sake as well, but on days like this, when an individualistic guest keg goes on tap, it is a business day beer lovers will want to check out.
