Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara announces a March 16 tap update, with limited kegs being tapped one after another
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara has published its tap list for March 16, 2026. In addition to two newly arrived beers from Tamamura Honten, the lineup includes distinctive guest beers from breweries in Japan and overseas. It is a selection that invites side-by-side tasting and is easy to drop into after work.
Hop BroCraft Beer Scissors in Akihabara updated its taps on March 16, and the part about limited kegs being tapped one after another is pretty exciting.
MugiWhoa, that's strong for a place you can hit after work! Is this one mostly guest beers?
Hop BroExactly. The main point is the two new Tamamura Honten beers, taro and ore no sake, coming in.
MugiWhat are those names? They're wild! And the explanation mentions long aging in red wine barrels too, so this is basically chemistry class now!?
Hop BroBasically, when you let beer rest in barrels, it picks up aroma from the wood, which brings out fruit-like notes and a sharper acidity. This one is designed with Hakuho peach-like nuances in mind, too.
MugiOhhh, so there are lighter ones too, not just heavy stuff? I'm the type who wants to compare different styles!
Hop BroOf course. There's Swan Lake's #B-IPA, Fujizakura Heights Beer's Helles, and even Eclipse 2024, so the style range is really broad.
MugiFrom a bourbon-barrel stout to a Helles on the same day!? That just makes me feel like my stomach is about to turn into a taproom!
Hop BroAnd they welcome growler and plastic-cup takeout, so you can keep the session going at home too. In Akihabara, being able to follow domestic and overseas beers at the same time is this shop's strength.
MugiThat's settled then! Let's go around the list instead of stopping at one, and take our favorite home at the end. Tonight is clearly a straight-to-Scissors kind of course!
