10 Latest Taps Revealed on the B1F of Shibuya PARCO; Two Notable TTOs in April
Standing Beer Boy Shibuya PARCO has released its latest tap lineup. Ten domestic and international beers are on offer, including FACTION BREWING, Teenage, and Hansharo Beer, and TTO events are also scheduled for April 11 and April 25. Spring buzz is building around this Shibuya spot, where you can casually drop in and enjoy a walkable, stand-up beer experience.
Hop BroThe latest 10 taps on the B1F of Shibuya PARCO are a pretty hot update. Standing Beer Boy Shibuya PARCO has lined up everything from FACTION BREWING and Teenage to Hansharo Beer, so you can get a full overview of the current tap scene at once.
MugiWait, 10 domestic and international beers at once!? Being able to compare that many in Shibuya sounds almost too good to be true!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is really well put together. From hop-forward IPAs like FACTION BREWING's "HAMARU IPA" to food-friendly Roasted Tea ESB, plus lager styles, there's a real range to choose from depending on your mood.
MugiESB? I thought that was the name of a tea! Suddenly a super-advanced term showed up, and my brain started fizzing!
Hop BroESB stands for English Special Bitter, a style with pleasant malt aroma and a moderate bitterness. Hansharo Beer's "Roasted Tea ESB" has that roasted-tea-like aroma layered on top, which gives it a Japanese nuance and makes it interesting.
MugiOhhh! So "Roasted Tea ESB" sounds like it would pair well with tea sweets. It's sneaky how a beer can make you feel kind of relaxed!
Hop BroThen you also get SHOHEI x Teenage's "ZEN IPA" and Teenage's "Serendipity," so there is a solid sense of contemporary craft beer culture too. It smartly shows regional character with BTB and HOPDOG labels while slotting in hop-aroma-heavy beers in between.
MugiWhat is that lineup? I feel like I'd get lost trying to decide the drinking order! Start with the IPA or settle in with a lager first? That's a full strategy meeting!
Hop BroIn cases like that, you either start light and move toward IPAs, or go in from the hop-heaviest beers first to get your palate used to it. Dropping in a crisp, clean beer like KIRIN's "Heart Land" makes it easier to build the overall flow.
MugiAnd there are two TTOs in April, right? Hearing that makes me want to open my beer calendar before my actual schedule!
Hop BroRight, it's "LIBUSHI Bashamichi TTO" on April 11 and "Brasserie Knot TTO" on April 25. TTO stands for tap takeover, and it's a day when the brewery takes center stage, so the atmosphere in the shop gets even more intense.
MugiI get it, so there's a real reason to go, not just to drink casually! If I can drink while roaming around Shibuya, I'm already in the mood for beer today!
Hop BroIn the end, places like this are great because they let you quickly get a feel for what craft beer is doing right now. Looking over the latest taps on the B1F of Shibuya PARCO, then ending up with 'just one drink' that turns into one more, that's the happiest kind of flow.
MugiYeah, yeah, this is definitely the kind of night where 'just one drink' isn't going to be enough! Then I'll go with Serendipity, and hop bro can take HAMARU IPA, and we'll start with a toast!
