Shibuya’s Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar adds two new Totopia Brewery beers
Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar in Shibuya has introduced two new Totopia Brewery beers: Luckphobia and Invasionphobia. The lineup pairs a DDH Hazy Pale Ale with a stronger 2x Mash DDH Hazy TIPA, making it a neat side-by-side hop comparison.
Hop BroShibuya has a fresh Totopia Brewery drop worth talking about today. Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar just brought in Luckphobia and Invasionphobia.
MugiWait, Totopia in Shibuya already sounds dangerous! Those names are intense, so what kind of two beers are we talking about?
Hop BroFirst up, Luckphobia is a DDH Hazy Pale Ale at 5.0% ABV. It feels nectar-soft, stacks gentle sweetness with juicy fruit, then finishes with a dank green edge.
MugiHold on, what is DDH!? You said that way too casually, and my beginner brain is already in a hop traffic jam!
Hop BroDDH is basically extra hop aroma mode. It is a method that pushes aroma forward, and Hazy usually means cloudy with a juicy, soft texture.
MugiOhh, cloudy and juicy I can picture! So what about the other one, Invasionphobia?
Hop BroThat one is a 2x Mash DDH Hazy TIPA at 9.5% ABV. It opens with ripe-fruit intensity, then a bitter, dense resin note rolls in after.
Mugi9.5%!? Daytime Shibuya drinking with that sounds like a final boss battle! And TIPA means triple the attitude too, right?
Hop BroClose enough. It is basically a dense hop monster of a strong hazy beer. Krush, Nectaron, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin Hop Kief keep the outline really sharp.
MugiWhat is Hop Kief!? That suddenly sounds like some kind of wizard powder!
Hop BroMore or less, think of it as concentrated hop goodness. It helps build a firm aromatic core, which is why both beers feel so unmistakably Totopia Brewery.
MugiGot it! If they have 20 taps and takeaway cans, I want to taste them side by side there and bring home my favorite.
Hop BroThat is the move. Start with Luckphobia for the easy 5% lane, then finish with Invasionphobia if you want the full ride.
MugiNow I am sold. I can already see the Shibuya detour happening: one pour at the bar, one can for later.
At Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar on the first floor of all day place shibuya, two new Totopia Brewery beers have been added to the lineup. The beer pub offers 20 taps and a fridge full of cans to go, so it works both as a place for a quick pint and as a stop for takeaway cans.
The two beers featured in the post are:
- Luckphobia / DDH Hazy Pale Ale / 5.0% ABV. It is brewed with Simcoe, Mosaic, Riwaka, and Nelson Sauvin Hop Kief. The beer is described as having a nectar-like texture, gentle sweetness, and juicy fruit character, with a subtle dank green note in the finish.
- Invasionphobia / 2x Mash DDH Hazy TIPA / 9.5% ABV. It uses Krush, Nectaron, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin Hop Kief. The flavor leans into ripe-fruit aromatics, then closes with a dense, bitter, resinous aftertaste.
Both beers show the kind of clear hop expression Totopia Brewery is known for. The contrast is easy to read: one is a softer, lighter hazy pale ale, while the other pushes into a fuller, stronger TIPA profile. For beer drinkers who want to compare hop-driven styles in one stop, this is a straightforward and appealing pair.
