The beer pub "Wailele ワイレレ" in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will be open from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM on Friday, May 22. With a lineup that includes Big Wave Golden Ale as well as IPA, stout, porter, and fruit-forward beers, it looks set to draw the attention of craft beer fans.
Hop BroA lively service is planned at Wailele in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, with 11 kegs scheduled to be tapped. It's from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM on Friday, May 22, and it's the kind of lineup that beer fans will want to put on their schedule.
MugiWhat! Eleven kegs!? I feel like I'd be tipsy before I even chose one. How am I supposed to decide!
Hop BroStart with Big Wave Golden Ale. It's Kona Brewing's light, easy-drinking golden ale, and it's not too bitter, so it's perfect as your first beer.
MugiHuhhh! A golden ale sounds like it would sparkle in gold. Wait, do beers get you excited just by how they look?
Hop BroThey do, they do. And this time, the IPA tasting battle is the exciting part. It runs from Ocean Avenue to Revision IPA, Moralité IPA, The Apprentice 2026, and Live Current IPA, so it's fun to chase the differences in hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiHold on, are hop bitterness differences really that noticeable? I can only picture a future where everything just tastes like, 'Whoa, bitter!'
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. For example, the hazy IPA Disco Ninja has a soft, airy aroma, while Milk Stout is dark and rich, and Coconut Hiwa Porter adds a coconut note to its roasted character.
MugiWhat is that, amazing! That dark, sweet, toasty character sounds like something you could drink like dessert. And coconut already makes it feel like a tropical getaway.
Hop BroAnd since there are beers from Hibiscus Wheat to Hagi Yuzu Ale, you can also go for a fruit-forward pour. Herbal notes and citrusy character make for a nice change of pace between IPAs.
MugiWhat, even a yuzu ale!? Today's a roller coaster of flavors. If I can take that kind of trip in Shibuya, I might never make it home!
Hop BroAnd Wailele is close to Shibuya Station, so it's easy to drop by, and it's practical that they accept cash, PayPay, and Hachipay. Credit cards aren't accepted, so if you go, just don't forget to bring enough cash.
MugiAlright, I'll make my first drink Big Wave, then go after the IPAs! Hop brother, this is clearly a "meet in Shibuya right now" situation!
