IBREW Ebisu Ekimae Store Simultaneously Taps Outsider Brewing's "Cherry Cheers" on June 1
At CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ebisu Ekimae, the original beer "Cherry Cheers" was tapped simultaneously across all locations on June 1. A limited Belgian Wit w/ Cherry with 5% ABV, it was brewed by Outsider Brewing.
Hop BroOn June 1, Cherry Cheers was tapped simultaneously at IBREW Ebisu Ekimae. It's a pretty intriguing beer, pairing Belgian wit with cherry.
MugiWait, simultaneous tapping across all locations? They're really going all out! It sounds like a festival, and I'm getting excited!
Hop BroAnd the style is Belgian Wit w/ Cherry. The softness of wheat, a bit of spice, and then the sweet-tart cherry flavor layered on top make it easy for beginners to enjoy.
MugiBelgian wit... what does the softness of wheat mean? Beer can feel fluffy? That's kind of mysterious!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The yeast-driven aroma and the gentle grainy mouthfeel are easygoing. And with ABV 5%, it strikes a nice balance between drinkability and satisfaction.
MugiI see! And just hearing the sweet-tartness of cherry makes my mouth tingle! Does it have a dessert-like vibe?
Hop BroThe key is that it's not too dessert-like, and the brewing was handled by Outsider Brewing. IBREW says Sonoka from the Shimbashi branch also took part in the brew, so it definitely has that limited-release feel.
MugiWait, took part in the brew? That's so intense! Stories like that make me want to drink it even more!
Hop BroAnd it's just a short walk from Ebisu Station, open every day from 13:00 to 23:00. Plus, the girls' night course offers 30 to 47 beers all-you-can-drink, so the tasting game is serious.
MugiThat sounds dangerously fun! I want to track new releases in Ebisu myself and start with Cherry Cheers before moving on to a bunch more!
