Shimbashi DRY-DOCK at 3-25-10 Shinbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo is back with a guest-beer update. In a June 3 post, the beer pub greeted followers with a casual good evening and warned about the weather before getting to the main point: the guest beer on tap is Uchoten Brewing's `Old-Fashin Love`.

The post keeps the focus on the beer itself. Rather than a long menu rundown, it names the brewery and the beer clearly, which makes the update useful for drinkers who are tracking what is pouring now. For anyone heading to Shinbashi for a pint, that kind of straight-ahead announcement is exactly what you want.

The caption also says DRY-DOCK is 15 days away from its 19th anniversary. That adds some context to the pour: this is a bar that is moving toward a milestone while still rotating in guest beer. In other words, there is both continuity and change behind the counter, which is part of what keeps a beer pub interesting.

For beer fans, the appeal is simple. A familiar Shinbashi address, a guest beer from Uchoten Brewing (有頂天醸造), and a beer with a memorable name in `Old-Fashin Love`. If you follow guest taps, this is the kind of post worth checking before your next stop in the area.
