Beer Pub Ishii to close on August 20, listing eight beers
Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi announced it will be closed on August 20. The Instagram post also mentions beer-braised beef tendon and a tap lineup led by Songbird, Brasserie Knot, Let's Beer Works, and Hopkotan Brewing.
Hop BroI’ve got one from Beer Pub Ishii today. They posted on Instagram that they’ll be closed on August 20, but the current eight-beer lineup looks seriously strong.
MugiWait, closed on Aug 20? That’s a jump scare for anyone planning to go. So what makes this lineup so strong?
Hop BroThey also showed off beer-braised beef tendon, and that already sells the visit before you even get to the taps, which run from Songbird’s Wheat to Hobukotan Brewery’s Ihou.
MugiWhoa, beer-braised beef tendon already sounds like a win. But Wheat? Ihou? My stomach is ready and my brain is not!
Hop BroWheat is a wheat-based style, so it’s usually soft on the palate and easy to drink. It’s the kind of beer that works well as a first pint.
MugiOkay, got it! Then what about Brasserie Knot’s RIVER and Let’s Beer Works’ Akagizaka RedAle?
Hop BroAkagizaka RedAle is a red ale style, so you tend to get more malt richness. It gives the lineup a nice step up from light and breezy to fuller flavor.
MugiHold on, malt richness sounds very professor-mode. So... kind of toasty, cozy, and secretly delicious?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s pretty close. And the keg-waiting side is stacked too: Ashura Triple IPA, Hobukotan’s INVERSION, Hansharo’s Soun, and Let’s Beer Works’ Mellow.
MugiWhat is this, a luxury bench lineup? Even the beers waiting to be tapped sound like headliners!
Hop BroFor a place with just four taps, this is excellent range. Sitting down in Sendagi with a dish on the side and tasting through it all already makes me want a drink.
MugiThat settles it. We need a pre-closure strategy meeting. I’m starting with the beef tendon, and now I seriously want to drink all of it.
