An Instagram post from CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza announced the end of Shiokaze Blue Lab's two-day TTO and previewed an upcoming tap takeover by Our Brewing. About 20 taps are planned, including a debut for "Yuzu Dragon."
Hop BroIBREW Ginza in Yaesu, Tokyo, has wrapped up Shiokaze Blue Lab's two-day TTO and is now lining up Our Brewing next.
MugiWait, they do TTOs back to back like that!? A two-day TTO is already intense, and there's already another one!?
Hop BroExactly. Last time, it wasn't just beer; they even had an original song and a limited food item called Eating Kölsch, so the shop's playful spirit was in full swing.
MugiWhat even is Eating Kölsch? I can't tell if you're supposed to drink it or eat it! Is it a beer snack?
Hop BroBasically, it's a food item inspired by the refreshing character of Kölsch. And the next main event is the Our Brewing TTO.
MugiWow, it sounds powerful just from the name! And about 20 taps means I'd get lost before I even choose!
Hop BroOur Brewing is a rising name with the only domestic award in the JBC IPA category, and this time the lineup includes Sake Pale Ale, Yellow Dragon, and Yuzu Dragon, a beer based on those two.
MugiSake, yuzu, and dragon is way too much information! What does Yuzu Dragon taste like!?
Hop BroIt should have citrus aromas with hints of Japanese ingredients, appealing to IPA fans as well as people looking for a lighter drinking profile. On top of that, there will even be a guest visit by three people, including representative Okada and head brewer Nakanishi.
MugiBeing able to drink while hearing directly from the brewers is the best! A taste-off night in Ginza-Yaesu means there's no choice but to go!
The beer pub CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza in Tokyo's Yaesu district shared an update in an Instagram post on March 30. The post first looked back on a two-day tap takeover by Shiokaze Blue Lab, introducing shop-specific touches such as an original song and a limited food item called "Eating Kölsch," in addition to the beer.
The centerpiece of the follow-up announcement is a tap takeover by Our Brewing. According to the post, the brewery is a rising name with the only domestic award in the JBC IPA category, and this time a lineup of about 20 taps is planned, including the unveiling of Sake Pale Ale, Yellow Dragon, and Yuzu Dragon, a collaboration beer inspired by the two. Three guest visitors, including representative Okada and head brewer Nakanishi, are also scheduled to stop by, making this an event where guests can enjoy the stories behind the beers as well.
IBREW Ginza's appeal lies not only in the number of taps, but also in its close-to-the-brewery event design. In a TTO like this, the fun comes from tasting through the lineup and following the makers' personalities and the ideas behind the collaboration beers. This post offers something that should draw in a wide range of beer fans, from those who love hop-heavy IPAs to those who are looking for a beer with citrus aromas and Japanese ingredients.
For anyone who wants to take their time drinking craft beer in the Ginza-Yaesu area, IBREW Ginza's tap takeover announcement is an update hard to miss.
