New "Strawberry Ale" on Tap at Ottotto BREWERY Shibuya Dogenzaka
In an Instagram post from Ottotto BREWERY Shibuya Dogenzaka (December 14, 2025), the shop announced that "Strawberry Ale" had gone on sale as its final new beer of the year. As the cold weather deepens, the beer is being promoted as a drink with sweetness, easy drinking, and a well-balanced profile.
Hop BroOttotto BREWERY in Shibuya just dropped its final new release of the year, the Strawberry Ale tap opening, and they even started serving it early in a December 14, 2025 post!
MugiWhoa! Releasing it ahead of schedule is such a vibe! Just hearing "the final new beer of the year" makes me way too curious!
Hop BroIt’s at 1F, 2-25-15 Dogenzaka, easy to get to from the station, and this time they’re really putting the spotlight on drinkability, sweetness, and balance.
MugiOhh, I always think of strawberries as super sweet, but if it’s a balance-first beer, it sounds like it’d pair well with food too!
Hop BroExactly. I’m guessing it’s the kind of beer designed for winter-friendly fruit character, with berry-derived ester notes and a light body.
MugiWhat is that! Esters? Are you casting a spell?! You suddenly started a science class on me!
Hop BroSorry, sorry. To put it simply, esters are fruity aroma compounds produced during fermentation! They’re one of the elements that make the strawberry-like character feel pleasant.
MugiGot it! And with the 2-hour all-you-can-drink plan, the weekend-only 3-hour option, and even closed on 1/1, open from 1/2, it’s easy to plan around the year-end and New Year schedule too!
Hop BroIt works whether you’re stopping by for one drink after work or settling in for a proper night out, and if you’re aiming for Shibuya, a timing-limited new release like this is definitely one to catch.
MugiIt’s decided! Tonight we’re having a Strawberry Ale toast in Dogenzaka, because that’s exactly what I want on a cold night!
The beer pub Ottotto BREWERY Shibuya Dogenzaka in Shibuya’s Dogenzaka area (1F Fukuda Building, 2-25-15 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) announced in a December 14, 2025 post that its new craft beer, "Strawberry Ale," had been tapped.
The post noted that the beer, which had originally been scheduled for release the following day, was instead offered a day early, and highlighted drinkability, sweetness, and balance as its main qualities. For those who enjoy berry-like aromas and a subtle fruity character, this is a seasonal beer that feels especially tempting in winter.
The shop is located in the Dogenzaka area, which is easy to reach from Shibuya Station, making it convenient both for a single drink after work and for a full night out. The post also mentioned its all-you-can-drink plan (2 hours), a 3-hour plan available only on weekends, and year-end/New Year business hours (closed on 1/1, open from 1/2), making it easy to imagine using the shop during the busy season of year-end gatherings and drinking parties.
What stands out most this time is, of course, the Strawberry Ale promoted as the shop’s "final new beer of the year." If you're looking for craft beer in Shibuya, this is one place worth visiting not just for the regular lineup, but for a limited-timing new release like this one.
