TBE Brewing updates its Ebisu keg lineup with craft beers from across Japan
TBE Brewing in Ebisu Minami, Tokyo, updated its keg lineup in an Instagram post on June 26. The bar now features 10 beers from breweries around Japan, plus three next taps already announced. The list is food-friendly and built for easy drinking and comparison.
Hop BroTBE Brewing in Ebisu just refreshed its 10-keg lineup, and this is a seriously strong list.
MugiWhat! In an easy Ebisu stop-in kind of spot? That is dangerous news for my after-work plans!
Hop BroThe range is great too, from Ishinomaki Hop's 'May the Force Be With You' at 4.0% up to Minoh Beer's 'Rockin' O-saru' at 8.5%, so it's a wide tap spread.
MugiNo way! If they've got gentler picks like Eagle Brewery's 'White Harmony' and Ushiku Brewery's 'Juicy Parade', that's a soft drinking side for newer craft beer fans too!
Hop BroExactly. For IPA drinkers, Isekadoya's 'Rush Hop IPA' plus Shiga Kogen's 'Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label' and 'Sono Ju No.10 IPA' make this a full hop-aroma lineup.
MugiWait, what even is full hop-aroma lineup? You just switched into brewer meeting mode!
Hop BroBasically, it means the beer opens with citrusy or grassy aromas. That's why tuna sashimi or a grilled sausage platter turns into a food pairing game.
MugiThen give me oysters ajillo or the mussel, tomato, and zucchini oil pasta, and let me do a little tasting flight until my stomach starts applauding!
Hop BroAnd the trap gets even better, because the next tap teaser includes Eagle IPA, Isekadoya's Mr. Dank, and Flora Fermentation's Utsurobune.
MugiSo I need to check the tap list before heading to Ebisu, right? I'm already ordering my first glass in my head!
Hop BroThat's the move. With 'Rush Hop IPA' and 'Rockin' O-saru' already running low, first round at TBE feels like the only correct answer tonight.
