CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza Hosts Our Brewing 19-Tap TTO
At CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza, a 19-tap takeover by Fukui's Our Brewing will be held from April 11 to 12. The lineup includes a wide range of IPAs and pilsners, led by the advance-release collaboration beer "Yuzu Dragon."
Hop BroHey, Our Brewing TTO is coming to Ginza. At CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza, for two days from April 11 to 12, the sight of all 19 taps lined up is already exciting.
MugiWhat, 19 taps!? With that many on the board, I might get so distracted I won't know what to order!
Hop BroThe highlight is the advance-release Yuzu Dragon. It's a Sake Pale Ale w/Yuzu, so it layers yuzu on top of a sake-like umami base, and the aroma comes through in a really interesting way.
MugiWhat is that! A beer like sake sounds sweet? Or is it crisp?
Hop BroNot just sweet. You can expect fermented rice-like nuances and a clean finish. And this time, since it ranges from IPA to pilsner, a side-by-side tasting will make the differences really clear.
MugiOhh! Great for tasting side by side means even beginners can enjoy it! But IPAs are the kind that sometimes surprise you with bitterness, right?
Hop BroExactly, and that's what makes this one fun. They've got everything from aroma-forward to firmly bitter, like the Hoppy Hour series of Cold IPAs and the Magic Flavour Oat Cream Hazy IPA.
MugiWait, they have a Cold IPA too!? Does drinking it cold make it even sharper?
Hop BroIt doesn't mean you drink it cold; it's designed for a crisp, clean mouthfeel. And there are also labels like Snow Buddy, Berry S’OUR, and Oat My Valentine, which play with fruitiness and acidity, so each tap has a really strong personality.
MugiWow, such a wide range of flavors is the best! And there are appearances by Okada-san, a special yuzu menu, plus take-home beer and limited-edition goods too. It feels like a festival!
Hop BroExactly, it's an event that puts beer at the center in Ginza. I'm thinking of starting with Yuzu Dragon and finishing with a pilsner. How about you, Mugi, go in from the citrus side?
MugiAbsolutely! It's the kind that makes you say I want to drink it right now. If there are 19 taps, today won't be about just one more glass - I could go for as many as I want!
Our Brewing's 19 taps gather
At CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza, the Our Brewing TTO will be held. The event runs for two days, from Saturday, April 11 to Sunday, April 12. In an Instagram post, a large lineup of all 19 taps was previewed.
The highlight is the advance release of the collaboration beer "Yuzu Dragon." According to the post, this is a Sake Pale Ale w/Yuzu. It is a beer that layers yuzu over a base with sake-like nuances, and the fact that it is being offered in advance is not to be missed by beer lovers.
The direction of the beers you can drink
Looking at the tap list, this time offers a broad lineup from fruity IPAs to bitterness-forward West Coast styles, plus pilsners and stouts. For example, several Cold IPAs from the "Hoppy Hour" series are lined up, and the "Magic Flavour" Oat Cream Hazy IPA is available in three variants. In addition, the range is broad, with labels such as "Snow Buddy," "Berry S’OUR," "Oat My Valentine," and "Täglich Pils."
The use of adjuncts is also clear, with yuzu, pineapple, strawberry & raspberry, cardamom, lemon, and more, making it easy to compare each tap's personality.
The atmosphere of the venue and how to enjoy it
The venue, CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza, is a beer pub with easy access in central Tokyo. Built with beer as the main focus, it is appealing because events make it easy to enjoy tap rotation and comparative tastings. The post also announced a visit from representative Okada, a special yuzu menu by Chef Anzaki, and gift campaigns for take-home beers and limited-edition goods.
This event combines a large-scale 19-tap TTO, an advance-release collaboration beer, and a food program. It is an event where you can taste the current state of Our Brewing while tracking the differences between each tap.
