TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa taps Kinnki Pale Ale; Shibuya store announces a Utyoten Brewing collaboration event
In TAP&GROWLER’s official post from April 25, 2026, the Shimokitazawa shop announced a new tap for "Kinki Pale Ale ADHA-218 Line." The Shibuya shop also announced a launch event for "AUTMN LEAVES," a collaboration between Utyoten Brewing and T&C, showing activity at both locations at the same time.
Hop BroThe April 25 post from TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa has a lot going on. Kinki Pale Ale is on tap as a new pour, and the Shibuya shop is also promoting a collaboration event with Utyoten Brewing and T&C at the same time.
MugiWait, two headlines at once? A single post making the whole place feel busy has kind of a festival vibe!
Hop BroExactly. The Shimokitazawa shop is a draft-beer specialty store about a three-minute walk from the station, and the style is to fill a growler on the spot from a fresh keg.
MugiWhat's a growler? It sounds kind of spacey, but is it basically a takeout bottle?
Hop BroThat's a pretty good way to think about it. It's a washed container filled with draft beer to take home, and since they also offer standing drinking inside plus canned and bottled sales, the strength of the shop is that you can choose one glass at a time.
MugiWow! So what kind of flavor should I imagine for Kinki Pale Ale? The name sounds way too energetic!
Hop BroAs a pale ale, Kinki is all about hop aroma, with a nice balance of moderate bitterness and drinkability. The nickname ADHA-218 Line also has a playful feel, so it really gives off the excitement of a changing tap lineup.
MugiADHA-218 Line sounds less like beer and more like a secret transmission! But if it came with that name on the tap, I'd probably order it too.
Hop BroMeanwhile, the Shibuya shop is holding the launch event for AUTMN LEAVES, a collaboration between Utyoten Brewing and T&C, and it even comes with beer, food, and DJ sets. They're really covering every reason to drink.
MugiThat sounds amazing! A new tap in Shimokitazawa and an event in Shibuya means today is a bar-hopping kind of day. I'm going to start with a toast of Kinki and think after that!
