In a March 23 post from TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa, Flora Fermentation's "Dank IPA" was announced as being on tap. In Monday host MAIKO's comment, it is introduced as a delicate, well-balanced pour with a wide aromatic range that is not overly complex.
Hop BroAt TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa, just a 3-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station, Flora Fermentation's "Dank IPA" is on tap.
MugiWhoa! A beer called "Dank IPA" already sounds super aromatic! It feels like it could turn the whole room into beer!
Hop BroGood reaction. It's an IPA, and while it has a wide range of aromas, it doesn't leave you feeling worn out; it's very much a balanced beer.
MugiWait, hold on, what does "doesn't leave you feeling worn out" mean? Strong, but gentle?
Hop BroExactly. You get a solid hop aroma, but the bitterness and aroma don't run wild. In other words, it has a delicate sense of balance.
MugiI get it! Then it works as your first beer or your last beer, so it's basically perfect for anything!
Hop BroThat's right. And the shop also does counter drinking, and even growler fills by weight, so if you like it, you can take it home.
MugiA growler? What is that? Is a take-home style basically the beer world's takeout?
Hop BroPretty much. Inside the shop there's a lineup of 19 rotating taps, plus more than 40 bottled beers, so the fun is that you can be indecisive every time you go.
MugiWow, if it's easy to drop in whether you're alone or with a pet, that's amazing! That relaxed atmosphere makes me want to stop by casually!
Hop BroToday, let's have Dank IPA by the glass first, and if we like it, have another one at home. I want to enjoy it in two stages, in the shop and to take home.
MugiDeal! Let's do a happy two-way tasting, one pint in Shimokitazawa first and another after we get home!
At the beer pub TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa, just a 3-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station, Flora Fermentation's "Dank IPA" is now being served. In an Instagram post on Monday, March 23, 2026, Monday host MAIKO introduced it as a pour from her "highly recommended brewery." It is described as offering a variety of aromas while keeping a balance that makes it easy to drink without getting tired of it, with a flavor that works well as either your first pint or your last.
In addition to drinking at the counter, the shop also offers canned sales and growler fills. According to the shop information, it keeps 19 taps, mostly domestic and changing daily, plus more than 40 bottled beers, mainly from overseas, so the lineup changes every time you visit. It also welcomes solo visitors, people with pets, and families with children, creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy craft beer without pretense.
If you're wondering where to drink today, it might be best to stop by after checking the condition of the Dank IPA first. If you like it by the glass, you can also take it home in a growler and enjoy comparing it slowly at home. One pint in the shop and one to take home: that's the kind of two-setting enjoyment that feels uniquely TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa.
