IBREW Opens “Cherry Cheers” at All Locations, Also Served at Akihabara Ekimae Store
Starting Monday, June 1, IBREW will simultaneously tap its original “girls' night beer,” Cherry Cheers, at all of its locations. It is a limited Belgian Wit w/ Cherry with an ABV of 5%, and it will also be available at the Akihabara Ekimae store.
Hop BroStarting June 1, IBREW is doing a simultaneous tap of Cherry Cheers. You can drink it at the Akihabara Ekimae store too, and honestly, that limited-edition feel is really exciting.
MugiWait, what do you mean by girls' night beer? Is it something only women can drink? The name is way too sparkly already!
Hop BroThe name is cute, but the beer itself is serious stuff: Belgian Wit w/ Cherry. It layers the lightness of a Belgian white with the sweet-tart flavor of cherry, and at ABV 5% it’s easy to drink.
MugiBelgian white? That sounds complicated again! Is it something fluffy? Or does it mean a white beer with foamy bubbles?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it’s a style that doesn’t push maltiness too hard, and instead brings out yeast-derived aromas and the softness of wheat. And this one keeps the flashy hops subdued, so the cherry fruitiness takes center stage. That makes it easy to get into even if you’re not into big bitterness.
MugiI see! So it’s less of a beer and more of a stylish one with an emphasis on fruitiness. Now I totally get why they say it’s good for people who don’t like beer!
Hop BroWhat’s more, the interesting thing about this project is that it matches IBREW’s girls' night course. For 3,000 yen for 2 hours, you get all-you-can-drink craft beer across 30 to 47 varieties, and you can extend it to 3 hours for an extra 500 yen.
MugiWait, 30 to 47 varieties? That’s way too many! If you drink one glass at a time, you might end up becoming part of the tap lineup yourself! This tasting setup is serious!
Hop BroExactly. IBREW’s strength is basically a tasting paradise. The Akihabara Ekimae store is on the first floor in Kanda-Sakuma-cho 3-chome, so it’s easy to get to from the station, and it’s a great place to swing by after work and aim for a limited keg.
MugiAnd anyone can order it, right? Then it’s great that everybody can toast together without worrying about the name. Once June 1 arrives, I want to head to Akihabara and meet this cherry-fresh glass for myself!
Simultaneous tap at all locations on June 1
Starting Monday, June 1, IBREW will tap its original limited beer, Cherry Cheers, at all of its locations. The style is Belgian Wit w/ Cherry, and the alcohol content is 5%. Brewing was handled in-house, and it is said that Sona, the female manager of the Shinbashi store, also took part in the brew day.
The beer is designed to layer the sweet-tart character of cherry onto the light, easygoing profile of a Belgian white. In the post, it is introduced as a beer “for people who do not usually like beer, as well as craft beer fans.” Rather than pushing a flashy hop aroma, it emphasizes a balance of fruitiness and drinkability.
This project is tied to IBREW’s ongoing girls' night course. The post says that for 2 hours and 3,000 yen, you can drink all you want from 30 to 47 craft beers, and that +500 yen extends the time to 3 hours. Since you can also enjoy tasting comparisons that are not possible with a normal all-you-can-drink plan, it seems like a good fit for people who want to sample a few taps at a time.
CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Akihabara Ekimae is a beer pub on the first floor of a building in Kanda-Sakuma-cho 3-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. It is in an easy-to-walk location from Akihabara Station, making it convenient to stop by after work or between shopping trips. As expected of IBREW, which is known for its large number of taps, it is a place where you can start with a limited beer and then compare several labels depending on your mood that day.
Cherry Cheers is available in limited quantities and will end once the keg runs out. Although the post calls it a “girls' night beer,” it also states that anyone, including male customers, can order it, so after June 1 it is worth trying this new release in Akihabara as well.
