Kagurazaka Craft Beer Server Land Announces Four Kegs Tapped Today, March 26
The Kagurazaka beer pub "Craft Beer Server Land" has released its tap lineup for Thursday, March 26. Today's release features four kegs. From Akashi Brewery's Weizen to selections from ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS, Oni Densetsu Ji Beer, and Shonan Beer, the lineup lets you enjoy distinct personalities from Japanese breweries across different styles.
Hop BroCraft Beer Server Land in Kagurazaka is going hard today with four kegs tapped. From Akashi Brewery's Weizen to Ishinomaki Umi Kaze IPL, Kinoni Pale Ale, and Sticky Fingaz Hazy IPA, the range is great.
MugiWait, you can compare four styles? I thought Weizen was supposed to be soft and fluffy, but what even is an IPL? The name already sounds intense!
Hop BroAn IPL is a style that aims for lager-like crispness while leaning toward IPA. With something like Ishinomaki Umi Kaze IPL, you keep the hop aroma up front while the finish stays sharp, and that makes it hard to stop at one more sip.
MugiI see... but why is a Hazy IPA cloudy? It kind of looks like juice, like it's pretending to be beer!
Hop BroThat's because the goal is to enjoy the juicy haze. Sticky Fingaz Hazy IPA brings the aroma forward and doesn't make the bitterness too angular, so the tropical character comes through more easily.
MugiWhoa, so if you compare that with a Weizen's wheat softness, it would feel like a completely different person!
Hop BroExactly. Weizen's appeal is its wheat-driven mouthfeel, and it can even show banana-like yeast aromas. With Akashi Brewery's pour, it's the kind of beer that gently loosens you up first.
MugiWait, you can drink that in the basement in Kagurazaka? That's the perfect after-work reward! And with that calm Kagurazaka atmosphere, it feels like even your buzz would become more refined!
Hop BroThe strength of the place is that you can choose based on your mood that day. They also have a classic anchor like Kinoni Pale Ale, so you can play around with the bolder Hazy IPA and then land on a Pale Ale at the end.
MugiWhat is that, a beer course menu? I'm about to fall into the black hole of tasting comparisons... Ishinomaki Umi Kaze IPL and Kinoni Pale Ale both sound tempting, and now I can literally feel the taps multiplying in my head!
Hop BroThen tonight, let's seriously do a four-keg tasting at Craft Beer Server Land in Kagurazaka. If we move from Weizen all the way to Hazy IPA, we both might end up wanting to drink so much we won't want to go home.
MugiWhat, that's amazing! I have too many candidate drinks for tonight, but on a night like this, even the time spent deciding is delicious.
If you want to take your time with craft beer in the Kagurazaka area, Craft Beer Server Land remains a place to watch, where you can face each glass one at a time in its calm underground space. In the March 26 post, four beers were announced as today's tapped beers.

- Weizen (Akashi Brewery)
- Ishinomaki Umi Kaze IPL (ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS)
- Kinoni Pale Ale (Oni Densetsu Ji Beer)
- Sticky Fingaz Hazy IPA (Shonan Beer)
From the Weizen, which should offer the soft mouthfeel typical of wheat, to the IPL, where hop character can be enjoyed with lager-like crispness, to the Pale Ale built around a classic style, and the juicy appeal of the Hazy IPA, this is a lineup that lets you compare four different directions on the same day.
The shop is located at Okawa Building B1F, 2-9-3 Kagurazaka, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo.
