Hop BroHere’s the draft beer lineup at Wailele in Shibuya’s Dogenzaka: on Saturday, April 4, they’re open from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with last order at 8:00 p.m. And because they’re going on a holiday break starting next week, this is a day to really take in the lineup without any new keg changes.
MugiWait, so even without any keg changes it’s still worth going? So that means it’s basically a chance to drink what’s already on tap?
Hop BroExactly. This time the lineup is set to include Big Wave Golden Ale plus Mountain Beach West Coast Pilsner, Kampai from Torrance DDH IPA, Coffee Porter, and Uncle Pineapple, so there’s a wide range from light to roasted styles.
MugiWhat the heck! A DDH IPA sounds like the hops are going wild just from the name alone. What’s actually different about it?
Hop BroDDH gives you the idea of double dry-hopping, which pushes the aroma forward. It’s not just bitterness; tropical notes and juiciness come through more clearly, and Smog City Brewing’s Kampai from Torrance is the kind of beer that makes that easy to imagine.
MugiOhhh! So if there’s also a roast-forward porter, it feels like you can travel from sweet aromas to crisp styles all in one night!
Hop BroExactly, and the announcement also lists future rotation candidates like Societe’s Session IPA, Threes’ Between the Lines, Trademark’s Codebreaker West Coast IPA, Left Hand’s Milk Stout, and Maui’s Coconut Hiwa Porter.
MugiWait, even the candidates are that fancy? And the note saying to prioritize the written info basically means you’re supposed to study the menu and do your homework in advance!
Hop BroAnd since they’re scheduled to close temporarily starting April 6, the right move is to go on Saturday, April 4. Checking the lineup before drinking in Shibuya makes choosing even more fun.
MugiI’ve already decided my first beer is Big Wave! After that I’ll want to chase the IPAs and the porters too. Today, the two of us should definitely get pulled toward Dogenzaka!
