Two kegs from Totopia and Beachwood tapped at Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo, open from 3 p.m. on weekdays
On May 15, Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo began pouring two kegs in line with its weekday hours of 3 p.m. to midnight. Totopia's hazy triple IPA "Loopphobia" and Beachwood's IPA "Amalgamator" are on tap, making it a great spot to compare guest beers.
Hop BroAt Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo, two kegs are tapped today. And with Totopia and Beachwood on the lineup, it's a pretty exciting day for guest-beer fans.
MugiWhoa! Just two kegs, and it's that impressive? It's weird how something so limited can somehow look even more luxurious!
Hop BroExactly. The first one is Totopia's Loopphobia, a Hazy Triple IPA at 9.0%. You can expect a dense hop aroma and a substantial body from it.
MugiI see! But words like hazy and triple IPA already sound intense, so I'm a little scared... what does it taste like?
Hop BroPut simply, it pushes the hop character forward so much that it looks cloudy, and the alcohol content is on the higher side, so it drinks with real heft. Just think of it as the kind of beer that lets you enjoy dense hop aroma.
MugiGot it! So the second one, Beachwood's Amalgamator, sounds a bit easier to drink, which is reassuring!
Hop BroThat's right. This one is an IPA at 7.1%, so it's easy to pair with food. As the name Beer Shokudo suggests, it's the kind of beer that's easy to enjoy with a meal.
MugiThen it really feels like the tasting comparison is the main event! Riding the wave of hops with Loopphobia, then resetting with Amalgamator sounds amazing!
Hop BroAnd on weekdays it opens at 3 p.m., so it's easy to stop by after work. On weekends and holidays, it opens from noon, so you can take your time from lunchtime too.
MugiNice, it feels like one-stop drinking in Takadanobaba! If it can switch to a 2.5-hour limit when it's crowded, then I'd want to go early and drink in peace even more.
Hop BroYeah, and since they also mention that sound carries easily, it's perfect for a day spent quietly savoring a glass. Honestly, now I'm seriously torn between starting with Loopphobia or Amalgamator.
MugiIf you're torn, you just drink both! I want to go right now for the guest-beer tasting comparison!

The shop announced, "Two kegs tapped today," and guest-beer comparisons seem likely to take center stage inside. Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo is known as a beer pub where you can enjoy food while drinking craft beer that changes on tap. The post also notes that during busy times, seating may be limited to 2.5 hours, and that because sound carries easily inside the shop, guests are asked to keep conversation to a minimum. It's a place well suited to slowly savoring a glass on a day when you want to relax.
