Hop BroThis time it's a 19-tap takeover in Tokyo's Yaesu area. Our Brewing from Fukui is lined up all at once at CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza.
MugiWhoa, 19 taps is way too many! They're basically replacing every faucet in the place!
Hop BroExactly. It's set up to turn the whole shop into an Our Brewing lineup, and the highlight is the advance release of Yuzu Dragon.
MugiWhat is that? Just the name Dragon already sounds strong, and then it suddenly turns yuzu and gets all Japanese!?
Hop BroThe base is `Yellow Dragon`, which placed as the only Japanese entry in the JBC IPA category. They combine that with yuzu and finish it as a Sake Pale Ale, which is interesting.
MugiWait, it even has nuances from sake? That means the aroma alone is already like a party in your head!
Hop BroThe taps are pretty playful too, with Four Dimensions, multiple Hoppy Hour versions, and different Magic Flavour versions, so it's turning into a tasting paradise.
MugiHuh, but with IPA, pilsner, and all those styles, I might get confused. How do you enjoy the differences between styles?
Hop BroSimply put, IPA is all about hop aroma, pilsner feels crisp and clean, and fruit beers are fun because the aroma keeps changing. This time, with yuzu, strawberry, and lemon all in the mix, it's basically an aromatic journey.
MugiWhoa, if you call it an aromatic journey, I'm in! On April 11 and 12, I'd line up in Ginza just to drink this!
Hop BroYeah, if there's a beer you want, going early is the right move. I'd want to grab the advance Yuzu Dragon first, then go after the Hoppy Hour beers.
MugiThen I'll chase the citrus and raspberry! If we go, we definitely won't be coming home anytime soon!
At CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza, a tap takeover featuring Fukui brewery Our Brewing will take place over the two days of Saturday, April 11 and Sunday, April 12. This project is a large-scale one with all 19 taps, switching the bar's taps over all at once to an Our Brewing lineup.
The beer to watch is the collaboration beer `Yuzu Dragon`. The article says it will be released early as a Sake Pale Ale based on `Yellow Dragon`, which placed as the only Japanese entry in the JBC IPA category, with yuzu added. It is a beer that makes you curious as a drinker about how its vivid citrus character and sake-derived nuances are brought together.
The tap list includes `Four Dimensions`, `Hoppy Hour Ver. Waimea`, `Hoppy Hour Ver.JBC`, `Hoppy Hour Ver.Anchovy`, `Magic Flavour Ver.JBC`, `Magic Flavour Ver. Brewer's Blend`, `Magic Flavour Ver. Elani`, `Snow Buddy`, `Berry S'OUR`, `Oat My Valentine`, `ふくふくえ〜る`, `Lupulin Rex`, `Täglich Pils`, `Hop Breeze`, `Daybreaker`, `Runner's High`, `Second`, and `うちうらレモンエール`.
The lineup spans IPA, pilsners, Brut IPA, oat cream stout, and beers with fruit and spices, making it a clearly appealing set for side-by-side tasting. With elements like yuzu, pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, persimmon, cardamom, and lemon, it should be enjoyable just following the differences in aroma.
IBREW Ginza is an easy-to-use beer pub in central Tokyo where you can closely follow tap changes. TTOs like this are appealing because you can compare a range of labels all at once. Since some beers are limited in quantity, it's safer to go early if there is a particular glass you want.
