Shimbashi DRY-DOCK taps anniversary beers from Swan Lake and Minami Shinshu
Shimbashi DRY-DOCK, the beer pub under the tracks in Shinbashi, has announced Swan Lake Beer’s 29th-anniversary beer, Rouge Cerise, and Minami Shinshu Beer’s 30th-anniversary Pale Ale in its latest Instagram post. Nara Brewing’s CHARM and Shimane Beer’s Koizumi Yagumo no Kuro Beer are also on the lineup.
Hop BroShimbashi DRY-DOCK in Shinbashi has basically kicked off a birthday beer festival on tap. You can drink Swan Lake’s 29th anniversary Rouge Cerise and Minamishinshu Beer’s 30th anniversary 30th Pale Ale at the same time.
MugiWhat! That’s double celebration mode! And under the railway in Shinbashi of all places? That’s exactly the kind of post-work stop that wrecks my self-control.
Hop BroThe lineup is tight too: Nara Brewing’s Hazy IPA CHARM is on, and Shimane Beer’s Koizumi Yakumo Black Beer is there as well. The black beer is even listed as almost gone.
MugiHold on, Hazy IPA suddenly sounds like a science-lab spell! What does it actually mean in normal human terms?
Hop BroA hazy IPA is a cloudy IPA with juicy aroma first energy. It’s less about sharp bitterness and more about soft, fruity hop character, so it’s pretty friendly even if you’re still new to craft beer.
MugiOooh, so it’s a fragrance-forward beer! Then Rouge Cerise from Swan Lake sounds like it’s going for something bright and fruity too, right?
Hop BroThat’s the hook. The 29th anniversary Rouge Cerise has a name that instantly suggests fruitiness, and that alone gives it a special-event aura. It feels like the kind of beer that steals the conversation from the first sip.
MugiMeanwhile, Minamishinshu’s 30th Pale Ale sounds like the best food buddy out of the bunch! Pair that with Hana’s Saturday-only specials and suddenly this is a full-on party.
Hop BroExactly. Shimbashi DRY-DOCK is great at making food and beer flights feel natural. You’ve got the hoppy side with CHARM and the roasty side with the black beer, so the range is wide enough to play with.
MugiJust hearing this makes a one-beer-after-work stop sound cinematic. It’s like you get to toast both a 29th and a 30th anniversary in one visit.
Hop BroThat’s why this lineup makes me want a Shinbashi cheers immediately. Start bright with Rouge Cerise, settle in with 30th Pale Ale, then chase that nearly-finished black beer before it disappears.
Shimbashi DRY-DOCK, a beer pub tucked under the railway viaduct in Shinbashi, has refreshed its guest-beer lineup. In the latest Instagram post, the shop also mentioned Hana-san’s special Saturday menu alongside the new taps.
The newly connected beers are Swan Lake Beer’s 29th-anniversary release, Rouge Cerise, and Minami Shinshu Beer’s 30th-anniversary beer, 30th Pale Ale. Both are celebratory brews, with Rouge Cerise carrying a vivid fruit-forward impression in its name and 30th Pale Ale sounding like a classic, food-friendly choice for the pub table.
Also listed are Nara Brewing’s Hazy IPA CHARM and Koizumi Yagumo no Kuro Beer from Shimane Beer (Beer Hearn), both down to their last pours. From a hoppy haze to a roasty dark beer, the range makes for an easy drink-through lineup. It is the kind of selection that fits Shimbashi DRY-DOCK well: a casual pub where beer and food can be enjoyed side by side after work in central Tokyo.
