TBE Brewing posts July 18 keg lineup with Shiga Kogen and WCB
TBE Brewing, a beer pub in Ebisu Minami, Tokyo, shared its July 18 keg lineup on Instagram. The board leans heavily toward Japanese breweries such as Shiga Kogen, Y Market, and Miyazaki Hideji, with CRAK Brewery also listed as a next tap.
Hop BroToday's topic is TBE Brewing's July 18 keg lineup in Ebisu-minami. With Shiga Kogen and WCB in the mix, it's the kind of board that makes you want to camp in front of the taps.
MugiWhat! Shiga Kogen and WCB in the same lineup talk? That's unfairly strong. Is TBE Brewing always this aggressive with its taps?
Hop BroPretty much. On now they've got Miyazaki Hideji's Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed Session Hazy IPA, Shiga Kogen's KASUMI and Sono Ju No.10 IPA, plus Hop Doc's hard cider.
MugiHold on, Session Hazy IPA sounds like a speed spell. Is session a concert? Is hazy just cloudy weather?
Hop BroBasically, Session means lower alcohol and easy to keep drinking, and Hazy IPA means cloudy and juicy. So it's a light-and-juicy setup, which is dangerously crushable in summer.
MugiWow! And if it's not just IPA but cider too, the flavor range is huge. Even beginners can have fun with that.
Hop BroThat's where TBE is sharp. The next wave is stacked too: Romanchikku Mura's Tochigi Very Berry Sour, CRAK Brewery's Mundaka, WCB's Analog Glow, and Kunitachi's Transit. The NEXT TAP BEER board is loaded.
MugiNo way! And Shiga Kogen's Yuru Blue Spelt is coming too, right? What even is spelt? A fairy? A grain? A finishing move?
Hop BroNot a finishing move, an ancient grain. Using spelt can add a rustic little depth, so you're really tasting ancient grain character in the beer.
MugiThe beer list is already wild, and then they hit you with bluefin tuna sashimi and grape-fed beef chuck steak? The food game is absurd. My stomach just called a meeting.
Hop BroAnd they're taking it easy through the holiday weekend, which makes it a great sit-down drinking spot in Ebisu. KASUMI with sashimi, Sono Ju No.10 IPA with steak, that kind of back-and-forth pairing is the whole point.
MugiThat's it, I'm done for. My throat reacted just imagining it. Tonight I want a first-pint strategy meeting at TBE Brewing and a serious debate over cider first or IPA first!
