Two New Kegs Open at Kichijoji P2B Haus, with Munatsuzaka IPA and Manticore Arriving
On March 19, 2026, two new kegs were tapped at the Kichijoji beer pub P2B Haus. Kampei! Brewing's signature American IPA, "Munatsuzaka IPA," and FLORA FERMENTATION's Hazy IPA, "Manticore," went on tap at the same time. With two IPAs of distinct character at the center, the lineup offered a chance to enjoy the diversity of domestic breweries.
Hop BroToday at Kichijoji's P2B Haus, there are two new kegs tapped at once! Munatsuzaka IPA and Manticore are on tap, and the 16:00 to 23:00 slot on March 19 is the time to go!
MugiWhoa, both at the same time!? And they're both IPAs too? That's a must-try comparison lineup!
Hop BroOne is Kampei! Brewing's Munatsuzaka IPA. The style is a classic American IPA, with pine and grapefruit notes and a firmly bitter design.
Mugi"Chest-punching bitterness" is a strong name! Also, what's "dank"? You're using hop-bro vocabulary now!
Hop BroDank means a deep, resinous hop-derived aroma. Basically, it gives the beer a lower center of gravity in bitterness and aroma, so it feels more substantial to drink!
MugiI see! So what about the other one, Manticore? The name already gives mid-boss-in-an-RPG energy!
Hop BroIt's FLORA FERMENTATION's Hazy IPA, with mango and passion fruit aromas up front, but a bitterness that lingers gently at the end, making it a tropical lingering-finish build.
MugiWhat! So it's a hazy that doesn't just stop at being juicy? I really love that it's not sweet-only!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, P2B Haus that day had IPL, Hoppy Helles, West Coast Pilsner, and even Fruit Ale, so it's a broad tap lineup centered on domestic breweries. That's exciting.
MugiBitterness fans go for Munatsuzaka IPA, fruit fans go for Manticore, and then finish with both! I want to go tonight already; my throat is fully in craft mode!
March 19 brings a two-beer feature: a “bitter IPA” and a “tropical hazy”
At P2B Haus in Kichijoji, Tokyo, two new kegs were tapped on March 19 from 16:00 to 23:00. The stars this time were Kampei! Brewing’s Munatsuzaka IPA (American IPA) and Shiga’s FLORA FERMENTATION’s Manticore (Hazy IPA).
"Munatsuzaka IPA" is described in the post as having a firm bitterness that feels like it “punches you in the chest.” It is a classic American IPA with pine- and grapefruit-like citrus notes, a grassy edge, and a slight dank hop character, plus solid body. Meanwhile, "Manticore" stands out for its tropical aroma of mango and passion fruit, along with a smooth mouthfeel. It does not stop at fruitiness alone; bitterness lingers gently toward the finish, making it a hazy that also satisfies those looking for real drinking depth.
The taps that day ranged widely, from lagers to fruit-driven styles
According to the day’s announcement, P2B Haus’s lineup, centered on its own beers and domestic breweries, included IPL, Hoppy Helles, Hazy Pale Ale, Session IPA, West Coast Pilsner, Fruit IPA, Fruit Ale, Hefeweizen, and Helles Lager. In other words, while the focus was on IPAs, the lineup also let guests work through everything from easy-drinking pours to aroma-forward styles and beers that pair well with food.
Located on the second floor in the Honmachi area of Kichijoji, P2B Haus is the kind of beer pub that works well for everyday visits, while also offering the fun of following daily tap updates. On days with two new keg launches, even a familiar bar suddenly gives you a clear reason to go today. If you want bitterness, choose Munatsuzaka IPA; if you want fruit character balanced with a lingering finish, choose Manticore. It is the kind of day that makes you want to compare styles side by side.
