Two new kegs tapped at Btaps Toranomon Hills, including Cloudwater × Green Cheek
Btaps Toranomon Hills announced new guest beer taps on March 18, 2026. In this Part.1, Cloudwater × Green Cheek's West Coast IPA and Burnt Mill × Sureshot's Hazy IPA make an appearance. At the Toranomon Hills beer pub, an easy stop on the way home from work, you can compare two beers with very different personalities.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the new taps at Btaps Toranomon Hills! In Part.1 on March 18, 2026, two overseas collaboration IPAs arrived.
MugiWhoa, right in the middle of the office district? That’s basically the ultimate post-work beeline.
Hop BroThe first one is West Coast IPA Is Dead from Cloudwater × Green Cheek. It’s 7.2% ABV, with Citra-driven citrus, Simcoe-driven pine, and a crisp, sharp bitterness taking center stage.
MugiWhat? Those Citra and Simcoe names sound like spells. How are they different?
Hop BroThey’re both hop varieties. Citra is known for citrus notes, while Simcoe leans piney. In other words, they’re splitting the aroma roles to build the beer’s shape.
MugiOhhh! So the other one is the Hazy IPA side I heard about?
Hop BroExactly. Burnt Mill × Sureshot’s Gravity Waves is 6% ABV and puts tropical fruitiness front and center. Citrus, pineapple, and stone fruit spread out softly.
MugiSo even though they’re both IPA, one is sharp and the other juicy. That makes this a must-compare lineup!
Hop BroYep, and since the day’s taps can also be checked in separate images or Stories, it helps to check the latest lineup before you go if you want to aim for a specific beer.
MugiAlright, I’m starting with Gravity Waves and then finishing with the West Coast one. That’s my Toranomon hop crawl plan!
Hop BroNice. I’ll go in reverse and compare notes. I’m in the mood to pick my first pint right now!
