DD4D's HAZY IPA and 254 Beer’s BLACK IPA tapped at Shimbashi DRY-DOCK
At the beer pub Shimbashi DRY-DOCK in Shimbashi, DD4D BREWING's HAZY IPA and 254 Beer’s BLACK IPA have been tapped. Alongside the standard Asahi Super Dry, Shimoda Lager, Miel Blanc, and more are also on the board, offering a wide range of pints to enjoy.
Hop BroYou know what? At Shimbashi DRY-DOCK under the Shimbashi tracks, DD4D’s HAZY IPA and 254 Beer’s BLACK IPA got tapped. And because their standard Asahi Super Dry is the core of the lineup too, the push-and-pull is laid out really cleanly.
MugiWhat! Hazy IPA and Black IPA sound like total opposites just from the names! Black, but it's IPA? My brain is already full of beer!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Hazy is a style with haze and juicy character, while Black IPA brings roasted, toasty notes, so both the look and aroma really stand out. DRY-DOCK's board is the definition of a lineup with character.
MugiWhat is that! Roasting, like coffee? But IPA is supposed to be hop-forward, right? Black and hoppy—what kind of world is that!
Hop BroBlack IPA is a style that brings out some of the toasty character of roasted malt while keeping citrus and tropical hop aromas up front. So toastiness and bitterness coexist, and it can feel lighter than it looks.
MugiOhhh! Hearing that makes me want to compare them. And the board also has Shimoda Lager and Miel Blanc and more, so there are so many choices that it's fun!
Hop BroExactly. With German Pilsner Shimoda Lager, Matsue Beer Herun's white beer, and NONCRAFT's Tengu Groove all on tap, you've got everything from easy-drinking pints to aromatic styles. DRY-DOCK's strength is being able to choose from a wide range of pints.
MugiAnd the main beer being Asahi Super Dry is surprising too! But if they care about dedicated glassware, cooling, and even washing, then a simple lager must be amazing!
Hop BroThat's the core of DRY-DOCK. The flashy guest beers draw your eye, but the shop's identity is in how carefully they serve Super Dry. Plus they have chicken baskets and potato salad, so it's really perfect for a drink after work.
MugiNow I really want to go! But next Monday the 20th is a closing day, right? Then I guess I have to check the hours and go see the board update!
Hop BroThat's the plan. Start with Asahi Super Dry to settle your palate, then DD4D's HAZY IPA, and finish with 254 Beer’s BLACK IPA. Tonight really makes me want to raise a glass in Shimbashi.
The guest beer lineup has been updated at Shimbashi DRY-DOCK, the beer pub under the tracks near Shimbashi Station. In a post, the shop greeted customers with, “Hello! It’s started! This is Dry Dock!” and the blackboard at the entrance now lists DD4D BREWING’s HAZY IPA and 254 Beer’s BLACK IPA among the new additions.
The pub's core offering is Asahi Super Dry, served carefully in specially designed glasses and through dedicated dispensers. Its official website also emphasizes its commitment to treating each pint with care, from the glassware to cooling and washing, clearly establishing its identity as a place where simple lager is enjoyed slowly and thoughtfully.
This time, the blackboard shows:
- Shimoda Brewing Company’s German Pilsner, "Shimoda Lager"
- Matsue Beer Herun’s "Yukionna 'Setchan's White Beer'"
- NONCRAFT BREWING’s "Tengu Groove"
- Swan Lake Beer’s "Miel Blanc"
- DD4D BREWING’s "HAZY IPA"
- 254 Beer’s "BLACK IPA"
The selection spans pilsner, white beer, American pale, honey-style, hazy, and black IPA, making it easy to choose according to your mood, from an easy-drinking pint to something aroma-driven.
The food menu focuses on classic beer-friendly dishes such as chicken baskets, potato salad, and artisan omelets. In the relaxed atmosphere of the semi-basement space, it’s also a good place to compare a few drinks after work. There is also notice that the shop will be closed next Monday the 20th, so it’s best to check the business information before visiting.
