Three New Drinks Tapped at Shibuya Parco B1F as Beer Boy Beefs Up Its Hop Lineup
At Tachinomi Beer Boy Shibuya Parco, three new beers, including FACTION BREWING's "HAMARU IPA," have been tapped. The lineup features a West Coast IPA, a Session IPA, and a grape-scented hard cider, alongside existing IPLs and a pilsner for side-by-side tasting. Special operating information for March 29 is also being announced.
Hop BroAt Shibuya Parco B1F, Tachinomi Beer Boy has put out another interesting tap lineup. This time, FACTION BREWING's "HAMARU IPA," Onidensetsu's "Ashiki IPA," and Green Neighbors' "Kan no Awai" are all newly tapped, and it's a lineup that really hits for hop fans.
MugiWhoa! Three new taps? That suddenly feels like a party! And with two IPAs plus a grape-scented hard cider, it's already fun before I even decide what to order!
Hop BroThat's the good part. In particular, "HAMARU IPA" is a West Coast IPA, so bright citrus aromas and a sharp bitterness take center stage. In a season like this, a crisp beer like that really snaps you into the mood.
MugiBut wait, what's a West Coast IPA? A beer from the west side of the ocean? It's like geography becomes flavor, and now I'm totally tangled up!
Hop BroBasically, it's the American West Coast style of IPA, with vivid hop aroma, clear bitterness, and a relatively dry finish. Instead of thinking about the west side of the ocean, it helps to think of it as a flavor design that feels "West Coast-ish."
MugiI get it! Then Onidensetsu's "Ashiki IPA" says Session IPA on it, which means it's a bit lighter, right? The kind you can keep drinking and drinking?
Hop BroExactly. A Session IPA emphasizes drinkability, so even with a modest alcohol level, it still has proper hop character. It's an ideal balance: easy to drink, but not at all lacking.
MugiAnd "Kan no Awai" sounds stylish just from the name! A hard cider with grape aroma seems perfect for days when you're not feeling beer. Wine fans would probably be smiling too!
Hop BroExactly. And the shop's post also says you can compare it with the existing IPLs and pilsner. When you line up hop-forward IPAs, a cider that plays with aroma, and crisp lager styles, the differences in flavor become much more three-dimensional.
MugiThat makes me want to try them one by one from lunchtime! Fun from the very first drink really does sound like this place. If I drop by after shopping, I feel like my whole way home will be floating!
Hop BroWhat's more, there's also notice of a special operation on March 29, when they're planning to pour things like English Pale Ale, English IPA, and Ordinary Bitter, which are solidly British-style. Tap movement is speeding up heading into spring, so there are almost too many reasons to go.
MugiWow, after hearing Hop Brother's explanation, I definitely want to drink there! If I can compare beers in Shibuya, I'm starting with an IPA today and finishing with the cider!
The beer pub "Tachinomi Beer Boy Shibuya Parco," located on the B1F of Shibuya Parco, shared its latest tap information in a March 25 post. This time, the focus is on hop-forward new taps, with a lineup that suits the shop's style of being fun from the very first drink, even from lunchtime on weekdays.
The three new taps are:
- FACTION BREWING "HAMARU IPA" (West Coast IPA)
- Onidensetsu "Ashiki IPA" (Session IPA)
- Green Neighbors "Kan no Awai" (Hard Cider w/Grape)
The post also suggests tasting them alongside the two IPLs and one West Coast Pilsner already on tap. For those who want citrusy or herbal aromas, the two IPAs are the pick; for those seeking a wine-like aroma, "Kan no Awai" is the choice. It is an easy-to-navigate lineup tailored to taste preferences.
The beers being served that day also include Hantaro Beer "Hojicha ESB," CRAFTROCK "Laguna," SHOHEI x Teenage "ZEN IPA," Teenage "Serendipity," BTB "TOHOKU PRIDE," HOPDOG "Tohoku Emotion IPL," Kibo no Oka Brewery "Hind Shank," and KIRIN "Heart Land." With styles ranging across Japan and overseas, the shop's strength is that it can handle everything from a light single pint to a full comparison tasting.
In addition, the announcement mentions special offerings planned for March 29 to coincide with a staff member's last day: Isana "English Pale Ale," Bighand Bros. "English IPA," and Kanpai!'s "Ordinary Bitter" series. It also announced upcoming events on April 11 for LIBUSHI Bashamichi TTO and on April 25 for Brasserie Knot TTO, signaling that tap movement is accelerating toward spring.
Business hours are 11:30 to 22:30, with only drinks and simple snacks available from 14:00 to 16:00. Conveniently located in central Shibuya for shopping trips or after work, this is a place where you can sample a wide variety of drinks at the brisk pace that only a standing bar can offer.
