TBE Brewing in Ebisu posts a Shiga Kogen-led July 6 lineup
TBE Brewing in Ebisu Minami shared its July 6 keg lineup. The list is led by multiple Shiga Kogen Beer pours, alongside beers from Egret Brewery, Cavedocchi, Ise Kadoya Beer, Flora Fermentation, and Kobo Brewery, plus a food menu built for a longer stay.
Hop BroTBE Brewing in Ebisu just dropped its July 6 keg lineup, and it's 14 beers built around Shiga Kogen Beer.
MugiWhat, 14 beers on tap? And centered on Shiga Kogen too? That's the kind of news that makes me want to camp by the faucet!
Hop BroEven the current Shiga Kogen set alone is a five-beer run: DPA, Africa Pale Ale, Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label, Sono Ju No.10 IPA, and Kind of Gold.
MugiWait, what's a KEG? The second I see three capital letters, my brain assumes there's a quiz coming!
Hop BroA keg is the draft beer barrel hooked up to the tap system. And this list says stock is low, so the good stuff could vanish fast.
MugiNo way, running low instantly turns this into a panic mission. If I take too long, my future pint is gone!
Hop BroIt isn't just Shiga Kogen either. Egre Brewery's White Harmony, Cave d'Occi's Shift Lines, Isekadoya's Mister Dank, Utsurobune, and Crazy make the guest brewery lineup seriously strong too.
MugiWhat is that name, Mister Dank? I haven't even tasted it and it already sounds like hops are about to slam dunk me!
Hop BroThe next candidates are hot too: KASUMI, Egre IPA, SHIGA KOGEN IPA 2.03 Center of the Universe, and House IPA. This setup is perfect for side-by-side tasting.
MugiWhoa, beers from the same brewery can taste that different? With a tasting flight, what am I even supposed to focus on?
Hop BroEven within IPA, the aroma, bitterness, and recipe balance can change a lot. The fun is comparing the face of the hops from beer to beer.
MugiAnd they've got bluefin sashimi, steak, and oil pasta too? That's a stacked food menu. My stomach has officially entered the chat.
Hop BroStart light with sashimi, then let a steak catch an IPA and you're in great shape. TBE Brewing really nails beer and dinner together.
MugiThat's it, I need a glass now. I want to start with Shiga Kogen Beer and stay long enough to catch the next tap change!
Current keg lineup
In the July 6 post, TBE Brewing notes that the remaining beer is running low, so earlier visits may be the safest bet.

They are joined by Egret Brewery / White Harmony, Cavedocchi / Shift Lines, Ise Kadoya Beer / Mister Dunk, Flora Fermentation / Utsurobune, and Kobo Brewery / Crazy.
Next taps
The next tap list points to Shiga Kogen Beer / KASUMI, Egret Brewery / Egret IPA, Shiga Kogen Beer / SHIGA KOGEN IPA 2.03 Center of the Universe, and Shiga Kogen Beer / House IPA. With Shiga Kogen at the center and other breweries filling in the gaps, the bar is set up for side-by-side tasting.
Food
Recommended dishes for the day include natural bluefin tuna, grape beef shoulder steak, oven-roasted pork spare ribs, barley-fed pork fillet tonkatsu, vegetable ajillo with baguette, house-made roast pork snack, and oil pasta with mussels, paprika, and zucchini. As a beer pub in Ebisu Minami, TBE Brewing pairs a rotating tap list with a food menu that makes it easy to settle in for both drinks and dinner.
