TBE Brewing Unveils CRAK Brewery and Shiga Kogen Beer on Its May 14 Keg Lineup
Ebisu's TBE Brewing has unveiled its keg lineup for May 14. Led by CRAK Brewery's "PIZZAPILS FREE STYLE," the list also features Ushitora Brewery, Minoh Beer, Ise Kadoya Beer, and Shiga Kogen Beer, while the food menu includes sashimi and pork spare ribs.
Hop BroTBE Brewing in Ebisu Minami has rolled out its May 14 keg lineup. It's on the second floor of the Shinbori Guitar Building, so it's easy to swing by after work, and today's lineup is pretty aggressive.
MugiWhoa! It's a beer update festival! And chasing taps in Ebisu already sounds fun!
Hop BroThe headliner is Italy's CRAK Brewery with "PIZZAPILS FREE STYLE." The name alone says it's built to go with pizza, and what's interesting is how it combines crisp lager-like edge with a playful spirit.
MugiWhat is that! That name feels so pizza-specific but "free style" sounds way too free, doesn't it? Do we basically have to dance while drinking?
Hop BroLeaving the dancing aside, the domestic lineup is seriously stacked, and it's basically an IPA traffic jam. Ushitora Brewery's Sachi Hop Session IPA, Minoh Beer's Kozaru IPA, Ise Kadoya Beer's Nikukyuu IPA, and Shiga Kogen Beer's Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver. are all on tap, which is strong.
MugiWow! All the names are cute but they hit hard with IPAs, which is unfair! Kozaru, Nikukyuu, Snow Monkey, it's basically a zoo!
Hop BroWhat's more, the next beers in line are interesting too, and just with the Shiga Kogen connection you can already see a flow with DPA, Kasumi, and Kind of Gold. Black Tide's #480 Tohoku Pride and Hoppukotan Brewing's Misty Way are on deck too, so it's a dream setup for IPA fans.
MugiWait, they're even previewing the next tap candidates? That's way too considerate! But if they're offering that much, isn't the only option to keep coming back?
Hop BroAnd the food lineup doesn't cut corners either, with strong options for both fish and meat. You've got bonito tataki carpaccio, salt-grilled red sea bream scraps, marinated pork spare ribs, extra-thick pork ham katsu, and an obanzai platter, so it works for everything from light bites to a full-on meal.
MugiOhhh! Beer and food in balance is the best. If they have sashimi and spare ribs, it feels like they'll take anything I order and make it work!
Hop BroThat's why, if you're chasing domestic and international craft beer in Ebisu, this is a place to keep on tonight's list. Start with PIZZAPILS FREE STYLE, then let yourself get swept up in the wave of IPAs.
MugiYeah, I can't take it anymore, I want to go drinking tonight! I want to stand in Ebisu looking at the taps and seriously agonize over whether to get the bonito or the ham katsu!
