MugiWhat! 40 taps is way too many!? If that many are lined up, I’d freeze up from not knowing where to start drinking!
Hop BroAnd the contents are incredible. It’s 39 taps + 1 beer, and the collaboration beer is OWN GOAL IPA, brewed by Shunsuke and Yappi from IBREW Akihabara.
MugiWhat is that! It says American IPA, but isn’t all IPA bitter? And 7.5% alcohol sounds pretty strong!
Hop BroWhat makes it interesting is that it’s a pretty intense bitterness design at IBU 100. With bitterness like the harshness of youth, it layers in malt sweetness and body to make something that’s more than just bitter.
MugiRecreating the bitterness of youth in beer!? But hearing about the balance of bitterness and sweetness makes me kind of want to try it...
Hop BroAnd the event vibe is great too. On April 4 Wani-san will be there, on April 5 MARU-chan will be there, and there’ll be DJ appearances on both days plus a rock-paper-scissors tournament.
MugiWhoa! It’s basically an festival site rather than just a beer event! That’s the kind of thing that gets you hyped before you even drink.
Hop BroPlus there’ll be limited stadium-event food, so the appeal is being able to play around with the beer and food pairing. And being able to move through the event while tasting different beers right near the station in Akihabara is a big plus.
MugiWow, it's way too much of a tasting paradise! IPA lovers and people who want to try lots of different things are going to be thrilled.
Hop BroAnd the fact that this is the third time makes it even hotter. It feels like it’s becoming a signature U.B.P BREWERY event, so both regulars and first-timers are sure to be excited.
MugiJust reading this makes me thirsty... On April 4 and 5, I want to raise a glass in Akihabara with everything I’ve got!
U.B.P BREWERY Takes Over IBREW Akihabara
At CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Akihabara Station Front Store, U.B.P BREWERY 40TAP TAKE OVER will be held. The dates are Saturday, April 4 and Sunday, April 5, 2026. The post says it will be the "third time this year," and the setup will line up U.B.P BREWERY taps across the Akihabara beer pub.
This time, the lineup will be 39 taps + 1 collaboration beer. The collaboration beer is "OWN GOAL IPA," brewed with participation from IBREW Akihabara's "Shunsuke" and "Yappi." The style is American IPA, alcohol content is 7.5%, and IBU is 100. It is described as a beer designed with a strong bitterness reminiscent of the bitterness of youth, layered with malt sweetness and body.
Special guests are also scheduled to appear at the venue. On Saturday, April 4, head coach Wani-san will appear, and on Sunday, April 5, U.B.P's main slugger MARU-chan will join in. In addition, DJs will liven up both days, and a rock-paper-scissors tournament is also planned. It is content you can enjoy as an event, not just by drinking beer.
