TBE Brewing taps ISEKADO’s Lush Hop IPA in Ebisu
TBE Brewing in Ebisu shared a keg photo on Instagram featuring ISEKADO’s Lush Hop IPA. The label shows 6.0% ABV, suggesting a fresh IPA addition to the pub’s rotating draft lineup.
Hop BroThis one's worth a look: at TBE Brewing in Ebisu, Lush Hop IPA is on tap. An ISEKADO keg just landed, and that's hard to ignore.
MugiWait, an ISEKADO IPA in Ebisu? The name alone sounds like hops are about to jump out of the glass!
Hop BroExactly. TBE Brewing is a 10-tap beer pub, and the woody interior is part of the charm. I like that they post the actual keg that's pouring right now.
MugiBut what even is Lush Hop? It sounds stylish, but also like a plant army is marching at me!
Hop BroIt's an American-style IPA, built around bright hop aroma and balanced bitterness. And the IBU 55 tells you they had a pretty clear target in mind.
MugiWhat is that, the IBU 55 boss fight? That number sounds intense enough to make my tongue file a complaint!
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness gauge. Fifty-five means properly IPA-bitter, but not just harsh for the sake of it, and the non-pasteurized, keep-cold label says they care about preserving aroma.
MugiOhhh! Then what about ABV 6.0%? Is that the kind that looks friendly and then sneaks up on you?
Hop BroThat's a fair read. The interesting part is the aroma-drinkability balance. At 6.0%, it shouldn't feel too light or too heavy, which makes it the kind of pint you want to judge in person.
MugiI'm already at full IPA craving over here! In that woody pub? Yeah, that sounds dangerously easy to say yes to.
Hop BroThen let's call it an Ebisu field test. I want to grab that ISEKADO Lush Hop IPA at TBE Brewing and check how the aroma actually pops in the glass.
TBE Brewing is a beer pub on the second floor of Shimbori Guitar Building in Ebisu-minami, Shibuya, Tokyo. According to the venue’s profile, it pours craft beer from Japan and abroad across 10 taps, in a wood-heavy, cozy interior.
In the Instagram post, the keg label clearly shows ISEKADO (Ise Kadoya Brewery) and Lush Hop IPA. The label also reads non-heat-treated, keep refrigerated, and 6.0% ABV. Another official ISEKADO post describes the beer as an American-style IPA at 6.0% ABV with 55 IBU, which points to a hop-forward beer with a firm but balanced bitterness.
For a neighborhood beer pub like TBE Brewing, a single keg photo can say a lot: what is on now, what kind of beer the bar is leaning into, and what drinkers can expect when they stop by. Lush Hop IPA is the kind of IPA that rewards attention to aroma and bitterness balance, so it is a useful one to note when it appears on tap.
