Mikkeller Tokyo posts a July-August update with a Niigata Cavedocchi tap takeover
Mikkeller Tokyo, the beer pub in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, shared a July-August photo dump on August 26. The update highlights a tap takeover featuring 10 beers from Niigata Cavedocchi and the venue’s annual lager week.
Hop BroShibuya’s summer just got serious, because Mikkeller Tokyo pulled off a tap takeover with 10 beers from Niigata’s Cave d’Occi, and that is absolutely worth talking about.
MugiWait, what! Ten beers on tap at once? That sounds less like a bar and more like a beer amusement park.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of a tap takeover. They lined up a whole set of Cave d’Occi beers, so you get to taste one producer’s personality across the board in a single visit.
MugiHold on, tap takeover sounds like somebody hijacked the faucets. Should I be worried for the beer lines?
Hop BroNo faucet crimes here. Think of it as a single-brewery festival where one maker fills the taps and you get their full vibe in one shot.
MugiOhhh, and they also did their annual Lager Week, right? More than 20 lager taps sounds like the coldest party in town.
Hop BroThe lineup was strong too: Mikkeller Ice Cold Pilsner, Velvet Pilsner, NZ Mysterious Hoppy Pilsner, and Warpigs Threeborg Pilsner. Very pilsner-forward, very summer-ready.
MugiYou lost me at pilsner-forward. Is that a beer term or are you secretly casting a spell?
Hop BroSimple version: pilsner is a lager with a clean, crisp finish. It refreshes fast, feels bright, and on a hot day it’s the kind of first sip that resets your whole body.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! So between the tap list, the photos, and the outside events, it’s basically beach-party energy with better beer.
Hop BroExactly, and it wasn’t just the pub either. They also had a Mikkeller 20-year art show, so the whole thing felt like a full summer program instead of one isolated event.
MugiThat’s it, I’m done pretending to be calm. This whole story just makes me want a tasting flight immediately, and I’m starting with the coldest pilsner possible.
Mikkeller Tokyo, a beer pub in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, posted a July-and-August photo dump on August 26. The update recaps the venue’s summer activity and gives a clear look at what was on tap.
The main highlight is a long-awaited tap takeover featuring 10 beers from Niigata Cavedocchi. According to the post, it was a day for a rich comparison tasting in the middle of Shibuya. The venue also ran its annual lager week, with more than 20 carefully selected taps coming on at once.
The tap board shown in the post includes `Mikkeller Ice Cold Pilsner`, `Mikkeller Velvet Pilsner`, `Mikkeller NZ Mysterious Hoppy Pilsner`, and `Warpigs Threeborg Pilsner`. The lineup leans heavily toward pilsner and lager territory, which fits the venue’s focus well.
The post also mentions a beach party in Zushi and a Mikkeller 20th-anniversary artwork exhibition. For beer fans, the appeal is straightforward: Mikkeller Tokyo is still a place where seasonal events and a rotating tap list are closely tied together, and the summer calendar remains active.
