TAP&CROWLER, a beer pub in Udagawacho, Shibuya, will host a Cloudwater Brew Co. and West Coast Brewing collaboration event, "W TAP TAKE OVER," on Saturday, June 27. The focus is the collab beer UMAMAMAM and a special lineup from both breweries.
Hop BroTAP&CROWLER in Shibuya is hosting W TAP TAKE OVER on Saturday, June 27. Getting Cloudwater Brew Co. and West Coast Brewing side by side like that is dangerously tempting.
MugiWait, that name sounds intense. What exactly is a tap takeover? Are the taps being seized by a hop militia?
Hop BroNot the bar, just the beer lines. A tap takeover event means the taps get filled with beers from featured breweries, and this one puts Cloudwater and WCB front and center.
MugiWhoa! But the star beer is UMAMAMAM, right? That name sounds like deliciousness doing cartwheels.
Hop BroExactly. The centerpiece is collab beer UMAMAMAM from Cloudwater Brew Co. and West Coast Brewing. The article doesn't reveal the exact style, but that makes it even more fun to guess what each brewery brought to the glass.
MugiAn undisclosed style makes me even more curious. When you say both breweries' personalities, what am I supposed to look for in the glass?
Hop BroThings like how the hop aroma lands and how the flavors layer. The whole setup makes the different hop approaches easy to compare, since both Cloudwater and WCB are bringing special selections too.
MugiWhat is this, a tasting boss battle? And TAP&CROWLER has 22 taps total, right? That's an intimidating amount of shiny temptation.
Hop BroExactly, and you can drink there or use their Crowler takeaway option. A Crowler is basically a can filled on the spot, so your favorite pour can come home with you.
MugiNo way, that rules. So it's not just drink-and-leave, it's drink-and-adopt. With Oku-Shibuya calm, I could actually sit down and compare everything without panic-chugging.
Hop BroThat's why this setup works so well. On June 27, this feels like the right way to compare Cloudwater and WCB, and honestly I'm already thirsty just talking about it.
MugiThen it's settled. One pint, then maybe another, then suddenly we're on a Shibuya beer field trip hunting down UMAMAMAM.
