Beer Pub Kirigirisu posts a five-beer tap list in Takashimadaira
Beer Pub Kirigirisu in Takashimadaira, Itabashi, Tokyo shared its daily tap list on Instagram. The lineup includes two beers from Ushitora Brewery, BREW DOG's Punk IPA, Ise Kadoya Beer's Sake Lees Hazy IPA ZAKU Natsuzake, and KIRIN's Heartland.
Hop BroTakashimadaira's Beer Pub Kirigirisu dropped today's ON TAP TODAY list on Instagram, and it's five taps ranging from IPA to easy classics.
MugiWait, five taps today sounds like a full cast reveal! Who made the lineup?
Hop BroWe've got Ushitora's Hop Sniper IPA, Doroyoi, BrewDog's PUNK IPA, Isekadoya's Sakekasu Hazy IPA ZAKU Summer Sake, and KIRIN Heartland.
MugiHold on, Sakekasu Hazy IPA is way too many words for one beer. What even is "hazy"?
Hop BroHazy basically means a cloudy IPA. It looks a little misty, keeps the bitterness softer, and pushes aroma forward.
MugiOhhh, so if it has sake lees, does it get a sake-like aroma too? That's a crossover episode.
Hop BroExactly. You can get ginjo-like notes in there, so the hops stay wild but the aroma lands in a neat, Japanese-style way.
MugiBut for a beginner like me, is there an easy first pint? I don't want to get sniped by hops on round one!
Hop BroDefinitely. Start with Heartland, then move into PUNK IPA or the Ushitora beers and you've got a clean tasting route right away.
MugiAnd they even posted 6:00-11:00 p.m. hours, with last order at 10:20 and new entry until 10:00. That's aggressively helpful.
Hop BroIf you're hunting for a first drink in Takashimadaira, checking Instagram's ON TAP TODAY before you go is the smart move. This list makes planning easy.
MugiThen it's settled! I'll open with Heartland, you take the ZAKU mission, and after that we need a pint now!
Beer Pub Kirigirisu in Takashimadaira, Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, posted its daily ON TAP TODAY lineup on Instagram. The post also noted the shop's hours: 18:00 opening / 23:00 closing, with last order at 22:20 and no new entry after 22:00.
The draft list brings together five beers with very different personalities, from hop-forward IPAs to an easygoing standard pour.
- Ushitora Brewery "Hopsniper IPA"
- Ushitora Brewery "Doroyoi"
- BREW DOG "PUNK IPA"
- Ise Kadoya Beer "Sake Lees Hazy IPA ZAKU Natsuzake"
- KIRIN "Heartland"
That mix makes the bar easy to use in more than one way: as a place for side-by-side IPA tasting, or as a neighborhood stop where you can end on something familiar and drinkable. For beer lovers in Tokyo's west side, Kirigirisu looks like the kind of pub worth checking before heading out for a pint.
