TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa Taps Guest Beers from Uchu Brewing and Flora Fermentation
In a post on April 15, 2026, TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa announced the anniversary beer "drink me!" along with new taps of Uchu Brewing's "galactc path" and Flora Fermentation's "lups-strata-". At this craft beer bulk-sales shop near Shimokitazawa Station, you can enjoy beer by the glass in-store or have it filled into a growler.
Hop BroAt TAP&GROWLER in Shimokitazawa, the anniversary beer and two new ones went on at the same time. Uchu Brewing's "galactc path" and Flora Fermentation's "lups-strata-" were added, making for a pretty bold lineup.
MugiWait, two beers on the same day!? And there is even the anniversary beer "drink me!" too, so there's so much tap info that I can't keep up!
Hop BroThat's what makes TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa interesting: because it's a bulk-sales specialty shop, the lineup feels very day-to-day. You can have it filled from the keg on the spot and take it home, and you can also drink standing in the shop.
MugiWhat's standing drinking!? Do you mean you can drink there on the spot? Bulk sales sound kind of like a beer stall, and that makes it exciting!
Hop BroBasically, you can have a drink in the shop and, if you like it, fill a growler and take it home. And this time it's a high-alcohol IPA plus a clear pale ale, so the contrast is really nice.
MugiA high-alcohol IPA means stronger alcohol, right? If I drank that, I'd probably get launched straight into space!
Hop BroThat's exactly the kind of vibe Uchu Brewing is known for, and "galactc path" is the kind of beer you'd expect to be rich and satisfying. On the other hand, Flora Fermentation's "lups-strata-" sounds like it will act as a bridge with its clean drinking character.
MugiThat lineup is amazing! Kicking things off with a solid IPA and then settling down with a pale ale sounds like a huge win for the stomach!
Hop BroWhat's more, the official lineup has 19 domestic-focused taps, plus more than 40 kinds of imported bottles, so even the time spent choosing is fun. They don't serve food, but bringing your own is okay, so pairing the beers with your favorite snacks is an option too.
MugiThat's great! It's nice that it's good for solo drinking, and it's lovely that you can try a little, then take some home too.
Hop BroThen tonight, I think we should compare drink me! as well. It's right near Shimokitazawa Station, and on a day like this, I want to savor the shop's personality in full.
MugiYeah, I already want to drink it! Tasting three interesting beers side by side is our answer for tonight!
New Taps
In TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa's April 15, 2026 post, the shop introduced the anniversary beer "drink me!" while also adding two new guest beers.
- Uchu Brewing "galactc path": a high-alcohol IPA
- Flora Fermentation "lups-strata-": a clear pale ale
The post also noted that new taps were being added after the anniversary, which highlights the shop's strength: the lineup changes from day to day. With a substantial IPA and an easy-drinking pale ale arriving on the same day, it is a lineup that makes it easy to enjoy a wide range of flavors.
Shop Features
TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa is a craft beer bulk-sales shop just a 3-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station. Its defining feature is growler service, where beer is filled directly from the keg for each order, and the shop's indoor space can also be used for standing drinking. The official website lists 19 taps, mainly domestic beers, plus more than 40 bottled beers, mainly imported, making this a shop where the pleasure of choosing beer is front and center.
There is no food service, but bringing your own food is allowed. It works well for a casual solo stop, and it also suits the style of trying a few interesting labels in small amounts before taking them home. On a day like this post, when you can follow an anniversary beer and guest beers together, the shop's character comes into even clearer view.
What to Drink
The main highlight here is the contrast between the two styles that arrived on the same day. Uchu Brewing's "galactc path" offers substance as a high-alcohol IPA, while Flora Fermentation's "lups-strata-" should provide a clean palate as a clear pale ale. Together with the anniversary beer "drink me!", this gives you the choice of casually comparing them in the shop or taking them home in a growler to enjoy more slowly, which feels very true to this store.
