Five New Taps Open at TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa, Including U.B.P Brewery
In a April 29, 2026 post from TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa, five beers were on the lineup thanks to new taps from the previous day plus two more added that morning. Ranging from Hazy DIPA to dark lager, the selection offers something to enjoy either via growler fill or by drinking in-store.
Hop BroToday, the tap update at TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa is hot. Three beers were added the day before, and two more this morning, bringing the total lineup to five.
MugiWhoa, that much movement? Five new taps opened? The taps are like living creatures!
Hop BroThe lineup includes Hazy Celebration!!, Tamaya Radius!!, Spiral!!, Luna!!, and Everyday IPA!!. With names like U.B.P Brewery, Brew Classic Beer, and Nara Brewing Co. in the mix, the range is pretty broad.
MugiWait, what’s the difference between a Hazy DIPA and a Hazy IPA? Just the names make my head feel fuzzy!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, a Hazy DIPA is fuller and more intensely hoppy, while a Hazy IPA is one step lighter than that. Both are hazy, juicy styles, meant for really enjoying the aroma.
MugiSo even if it looks like juice, you can’t let your guard down! And American Belgo Style Ale sounds like it’s packed with information just from the name alone!
Hop BroIt combines the punch of American hops with the character of Belgian yeast. In other words, the appeal is its layered aroma, and it changes expression every time you drink it.
MugiOhhh, so Luna!!'s dark lager is the more subdued one? I always picture black beer as heavy!
Hop BroExactly. It has a solid drinking profile, with roasted notes and a light toasted character to enjoy. And with a standard-bearer like Everyday IPA!! in the lineup too, you can really vary the mood depending on the day.
MugiAnd you can fill a growler, right? Drink at the shop, then if you like it, take it home and keep going there. That’s the best!
Hop BroExactly. If it’s just a three-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station and you can drink standing inside or take it out, then there’s really no reason not to stop by today.
MugiYeah, this is totally a must-try tasting lineup. If Hazy through dark lager are all on tap, the choice alone is fun, and now I’m already thinking about beer!
TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa updated its tap list on April 29. According to the post, three new beers had been added the day before, and two more had just been connected that morning. As you would expect from a shop just three minutes on foot from Shimokitazawa Station, the taps turn over quickly, creating the fun of chasing what is pouring that day.
The current lineup consists of these five beers:
- Hazy Celebration!! / U.B.P Brewery (Hazy DIPA)
- Tamaya Radius!! / Brew Classic Beer (Hazy IPA)
- Spiral!! / Nara Brewing Co. (American Belgo Style Ale)
- Luna!! / OHLOY Brewing (Dark Lager)
- Everyday IPA!! / Great Dane Japan (IPA)
The range of styles is also a highlight. In addition to the richly hoppy Hazy DIPA and Hazy IPA, the lineup includes an American Belgo Style Ale that incorporates Belgian elements, a dark lager with a solid drinking profile, and a classic, no-frills IPA. It is a lineup that lets you choose one beer at a time to match your mood, and it also makes tasting flights easy to build.
TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa is known for filling growlers with draft beer on each order. In addition to in-store standing drinking, you can take beer home and enjoy it there or elsewhere, balancing the pleasure of drinking on tap with the convenience of takeaway. It works well not only for a quick drink in Shimokitazawa, but also for taking home a label that catches your eye in a growler.
At the turn from spring to early summer, the taps are changing briskly, just as the shop says. It is the kind of update that makes choosing your glass part of the fun.
