Uchu Brewing Toranomon, QDH TIPA 'Obsidian Tower' Cans Arrive
Uchu Brewing announced from its directly operated taproom on the second floor of Glass Rock at Toranomon Hills that cans of its QDH TIPA, "Obsidian Tower," have arrived. The post also said that one more table had been added to the terrace seating and that the Toranomon Hills opening commemorative beer has been doing well.
Hop BroAt the second floor of Glass Rock in Toranomon Hills, there’s talk of an Obsidian Tower can arrival. It’s a hop-packed QDH TIPA, very much Uchu Brewing style.
MugiWait, QDH TIPA? That sounds like a spell. If I drink it, do I get launched into space?
Hop BroTo put it simply, it’s a rich IPA with multiple layers of dry hopping, and TIPA is a strong style close to a triple IPA. Just remember it as a full-throttle, hop-forward, rich beer.
MugiOhhh! So Obsidian Tower sounds strong too, like a black obsidian tower. Does it smell as intense as it sounds?
Hop BroExactly. And the Toranomon tap list is flashy again, with a lineup full of space vibes. It ranges wildly from smoothie sour to quadruple IPA.
MugiWhat do you mean by wildly ranging! Having a quadruple IPA too makes it less like a meeting room and more like a lab.
Hop BroLab is actually pretty accurate. The strength is that you can drink their unique brews, made at the brewery in Hokuto, Yamanashi, on a permanent basis in Tokyo. It feels like they’re being delivered straight from Yamanashi to Toranomon.
MugiWait, they even added another table on the terrace? If I can have a drink outside, I’d be pulled in after work for sure.
Hop BroExactly. Hours are 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., last order at 8:30 p.m. It’s cashless, there’s no food service, but bringing in food bought in Toranomon Hills is allowed, which makes it easy to use.
MugiSo the commemorative beer is doing well, Obsidian Tower has arrived, and now I just want to drink it right away!
Based in Hokuto, Yamanashi Prefecture, Uchu Brewing is showing new movement at its permanent taproom in Toranomon Hills. In an official Instagram post, the brewery announced that cans of its QDH TIPA "Obsidian Tower," a rich beer packed with a huge amount of hops, had arrived. It also reported that the Toranomon Hills opening commemorative beer has been well received.
The post also mentioned that one more table had been added to the terrace seating, making it easier for more visitors to use the space. While the table will be removed in strong winds, the setup reflects a flexible approach suited to a downtown taproom and how it can adapt to the weather. Business hours are from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with last order at 8:30 p.m. It is cashless only, does not serve food, and allows guests to bring in food purchased inside Toranomon Hills.
The tap list that day included "OTAKU SMOOTHIE SOUR ALE," "Galactic Path INDIA PALE ALE," "Uchu Relax DDH HAZY PALE ALE," "COSMIC WHALE DDH IPA," "UCHU TORANOMON QDH QUADRUPLE IPA," and "Nothingness DDH DIPA." From smoothie sour to quadruple IPA, the lineup covered a wide range, showing the expressive breadth that is typical of Uchu Brewing.
Uchu Brewing is a brewery known for making beer with a space theme. From its brewery in Hokuto, Yamanashi, its distinctive beers can now be enjoyed on an ongoing basis at Toranomon Hills in Tokyo. The announcement of the canned release should also serve as a cue to check out the lineup on site.
