CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza in Yaesu, Tokyo, has tapped BALDYS GOOD BEER’s sour ale ACID PUNCH. The beer pub also announced TOKYO BEER COLLECTION 2026 ~ 47 Tokyo Breweries Tap Takeover ~ for October 1.
Hop BroToday's topic is ACID PUNCH on tap. At CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza in Yaesu, they’ve started pouring BALDYS GOOD BEER from Kabutocho.
MugiWait, a sour ale means a tart beer, right? Even the name sounds like it punches back!
Hop BroExactly. It sits at an easy 5% ABV, with a sharp acidic snap up front, but it still keeps a malt backbone so it doesn’t finish thin.
MugiHold on, malt backbone? What is that? Does this beer have a spine now?!
Hop BroPretty much in flavor terms. It means grainy depth still sticks around, so it’s not just sour for the sake of being sour.
MugiOhhh! And BALDYS GOOD BEER being called a two-story brewery totally caught me off guard!
Hop BroYeah, it sounds like the place uses tight brewing design, stacking the setup efficiently inside a compact space. That kind of brewer nerdery gets me every time.
MugiWhat is that, a lair? And they even do special bicycle delivery? That backstory is way too strong!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. You’re not just drinking beer, you’re tasting the brewer’s personality too. The story adds dimension to the glass.
MugiOkay, I get it now! And if IBREW Ginza is easy for solo visits, I could totally swing by after work.
Hop BroExactly. It has counter seats, tables, and an English menu, and they’re already teasing the TOKYO BEER COLLECTION on October 1, 2026, so I want to gauge the place with ACID PUNCH first.
MugiThat’s the perfect plan! Let’s make tonight’s first pour ACID PUNCH, then count down to the October tap takeover!
