IBREW Ginza launches a spring series, announces La Trappe visit and four notable events
CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza reported that the team from Dutch Trappist brand "La Trappe" visited the bar. It also released event information for a series of programs to be held from March through April, featuring G-BRAND “Bespoke” BEERERS, Shiokaze Blue Lab, Our Brewing, and OPPERBACCO.
Hop BroThe Ginza beer scene is heating up now, and IBREW Ginza’s spring series has arrived! It even overlaps with a visit from the La Trappe team.
MugiWait, the Dutch one!? A La Trappe visit right off the bat feels way too international!
Hop BroFrom 3/16-19 it’s St.Patrick’s Day with G-BRAND “Bespoke” BEERERS, then 3/28-29 Shiokaze Blue Lab, 4/11-12 Our Brewing, and 4/25-26 OPPERBACCO. It’s a straight run of four weekend events.
MugiThat’s a lot of info, popping like hops! By the way, what does TTO mean? A spell?
Hop BroTTO stands for Tap Takeover, meaning the taps are basically taken over all at once and that brewery’s beers line up in force.
MugiThat sounds amazing! But what exactly is La Trappe? Trappist beer just sounds powerful by name alone!
Hop BroTrappist beers are a category with roots in monastic tradition, and the post introduced La Trappe as something beer lovers around the world know. In short, it carries the weight of monastery roots.
MugiWow, and if each event has an early tap of a collaboration beer, then there’s a new experience every time you go!
Hop BroExactly. The strength is that in Ginza and Kyobashi you can track everything from overseas Trappist beers to domestic collaborations and even overseas brewery TTOs. It’s truly designed for repeat visits.
MugiThen I’m aiming for Shiokaze Blue Lab on 3/28-29 and Our Brewing on 4/11-12! I’m putting together a weekend-hopping plan!
Hop BroGood idea. Finish it off with OPPERBACCO TAP TAKEOVER on 4/25-26, and you can see spring’s beer lineup completion coming into view!
MugiI can’t wait anymore, I want to toast right now! This whole flow is a spring that makes you want to drink everything!
The latest post from CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza introduced a visit from the Dutch La Trappe team. The post described La Trappe as a brand "known to beer lovers around the world as a Trappist beer," and the fact that you can enjoy beer in this context in Ginza is itself a major topic.
Announced Event Information
The four projects clearly listed in the post are as follows.
- 3/16-3/19: IBREW St.Patrick’s Day
- G-BRAND “Bespoke” BEERERS collaboration beer on tap

What Kind of Beer Can You Drink?
The key points that stand out from this information are the consecutive lineup of early tapping of collaboration beers and TTOs (Tap Takeovers). Rather than one-off events that end in a single day, this is a structure that keeps the momentum going step by step from mid-March through late April, making it likely that you will encounter different beers each time you return.
Being able to follow everything from overseas Trappist context to domestic collaborations and even overseas brewery TTOs in the Ginza/Kyobashi area all in one place is exactly the kind of strength that defines IBREW Ginza as a beer pub. If your goal is to compare beers, it is best to plan around each weekend event.
