The beer pub TBE Brewing in Ebisu Minami has unveiled its KEG lineup for May 2. In addition to 10 beers including CRAK Brewery's 'PIZZAPILS FREE STYLE' and Shiga Kogen Beer's 'Shiga Kogen IPA' and 'Sono Ju No.10 IPA', it is also previewing six NEXT TAP beers scheduled for the next round.
Hop BroThe TBE Brewing tap update in Ebisu Minami is interesting. On May 2, from CRAK Brewery's 'PIZZAPILS FREE STYLE' to Shiga Kogen, Ise Kadoya, and Yorocco, it's a lineup that makes your mouth water just looking at it.
MugiWhoa, I can see 16 labels? With that many, I'd get tipsy just reading the menu!
Hop BroEven the 10 beers on tap now are anchored by IPA and pale styles. 'Shiga Kogen IPA,' 'Sono Ju No.10 IPA,' 'Classic Pale Ale,' and 'Amber Swan Ale' are all there, so it's a setup that works for hop lovers and malt lovers alike.
MugiBut what exactly makes a hazy IPA hazy? Is there fog around it, or are my eyes just getting sleepy?
Hop BroGood question. It's an IPA with haze, and it tends to bring out juicy hop character and a soft mouthfeel. This time, beers like 'Strawberry Hazy IPA' and 'Lagoon Juicy IPA' stand out for putting aroma front and center.
MugiWow, fruit-forward beers make me want to drink right away! But 'PIZZAPILS FREE STYLE' sounds like pizza-only beer, and the name alone makes me hungry!
Hop BroExactly. It's easiest to think of it as a pizza-friendly lager style. It's light and crisp, and because it doesn't get in the way of food, it ties the whole table together nicely, from wild Indian tuna sashimi to spare ribs.
MugiThen I'm curious about the next NEXT TAP 6 beers too. 'Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver.' and 'Kind of Gold' sound like an adventure is about to begin!
Hop BroThat's the nice part. Mixing in collaborations and limited releases is so TBE Brewing. With Black Tide, Minoh, Shiga Kogen, WCB, and even DOGFISH × OXBOW × SHIGAKOGEN coming up, the tap list feels like a daily event.
MugiI'm already starving! Drinking through the draft lineup in Ebisu while snacking on sansho-simmered beef tendon or grilled Daisen chicken would be unbeatable.
