Ebisu TBE Brewing rolls out 15 beers from Japan and abroad in its March 24 tap update
The Ebisu beer pub TBE Brewing has released its KEG lineup for March 24. From Yatsugatake Touchdown's cold-brew coffee lager to CRAK Brewery's DDH IPA, the selection brings together distinctive beers from Japan and overseas. Five upcoming taps are also announced.
Hop BroEbisu's TBE Brewing updated its taps on March 24. Domestic and international distinctive beers are lined up, and just seeing it makes you think, "Yeah, tonight is going to be a long one."
MugiWait, 15 beers from Japan and abroad is a lot, isn't it!? With that many, I feel like I'd be tipsy before I even choose!
Hop BroThe first star this time is Yatsugatake Touchdown's Cold Brew Coffee Lager. It has the light drinkability of a lager with the aroma of coffee on top, so it's crisp on the palate but leaves a soft, deep finish.
MugiCold brew coffee? So it's beer, but it's coffee too? Wait, isn't that like too many genres in one glass!?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. When the extraction temperature is low, the bitterness doesn't get harsh and the aroma comes through cleanly. So the crispness of a lager and the roasty notes of coffee don't really clash.
MugiI get it! And the lineup also has the heft of IPAs, right? Then hop lovers are going to be totally satisfied!
Hop BroExactly. Open Air's Hop Viking, Iwate Kura's Sakura Ran IPA, West Coast's Boom Box, and Shiga Kogen's Sono Juu No.10 IPA let you really enjoy the range of bitterness and aroma.
MugiBut what is DDH IPA? Is that some kind of spell!? We're not supposed to shout it while drinking, right!?
Hop BroDDH stands for double dry hop, a method where hops are added again after fermentation to push the aroma forward. Beers like CRAK Brewery's FUCK INDUSTRIAL DDH IPA are punchy in both name and flavor, the kind that really lets you enjoy hop presence.
MugiAnd they even have sashimi, grilled chicken, and spare ribs? That's unfair! I'm also curious about the next tap, Honey Saison, and if I stop by after work, I feel like I'll definitely be happy!
Hop BroEven if the raised seating area is reserved, it's nice that you can still enjoy the calm second-floor space from the box seats or counter. You can follow both what's available now and what's coming next, so this is basically tonight's drink, decided.
