TAP&TUMBLER Ebisu taps GRANDLINE Brewing’s “VERY VERY BERRY” and more
TAP&TUMBLER in Ebisu posted a July 3 update featuring new kegs. GRANDLINE Brewing’s fruity sour ale “VERY VERY BERRY” and “Daylight” from 有頂天醸造 are now on tap, while the bar’s 4th-anniversary beer “TT4” is set to sell out with the current keg.
Hop BroEbisu has a fresh tap rush today. TAP&TUMBLER just put on GRANDLINE Brewing's VERY VERY BERRY and Uchoten Brewery's Daylight, and the anniversary beer TT4 is on its last keg.
MugiWhat! VERY VERY BERRY sounds like the name is shouting berries at me. How berry-heavy is this thing?
Hop BroIt's a four-berry blend with blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, and blueberry in a 4.5% Fruited Sour Ale, so it's built to feel super juicy.
MugiWait, Fruited Sour Ale sounds like berries joined a sports team. What does that actually mean?
Hop BroNo training camp, but it's basically adult berry lemonade. You get tart sour-ale acidity plus layered fruit, so it drinks bright, juicy, and sweet-tangy.
MugiOkay, then what's Daylight all about? The name sounds gentle, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroDaylight from Uchoten Brewery is a Belgian Single at 5.2%, with fermentation-driven spicy and fruity notes, then a dry finish and crisp bitterness.
MugiWhoa, fermentation-driven aroma makes it sound like a chemistry lab. So the yeast is secretly doing all the cool work?
Hop BroExactly, that's the yeast showing off. Even without piling on extra fruit or hops, yeast can create spice-like and fruit-like character.
MugiNow I get it, this is a compare-and-contrast flight. Start juicy with berries, then snap back with that dry Belgian finish.
Hop BroAnd TT4 is ending with this keg, so don't wait. TAP&TUMBLER also does counter pours, canned sales, and growler fills, and it's easy to visit solo, with pets, or with kids.
MugiThat settles it, this is an Ebisu beer run. I want VERY VERY BERRY, Daylight, and a last-minute TT4 if there's any left!

A Fruited Sour Ale at 4.5%. The beer is packed with four berries: blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, and blueberry.

- "TT4" anniversary beer from @break_edge_beer_works
TAP&TUMBLER’s 4th-anniversary beer will be retired once the current keg runs out, so anyone who has not tried it yet will want to move quickly.
The bar also notes that solo guests, pets, and children are welcome, with counter drinking, can sales, and growler fills available. Reservations and the day’s tap list are linked from the profile, which fits the casual, beer-first style of the shop in Ebisu.
For drinkers looking to compare a juicy sour with a dry, spicy Belgian-style beer, this is the kind of tap update that makes a stop in Ebisu worthwhile.
