Hop BroEbisu's TAP&TUMBLER has a fresh tap opening on deck, with Y Market Brewing's Onigashima IX Hazy IPA now pouring from TAP 4.
MugiWait, that Onigashima name is way too intense! It sounds less like a beer and more like a final boss fight!
Hop BroAnd it's a Hazy IPA at 8.0%, described as seriously hazy, so I'm expecting a bold, dense hit of hop character.
MugiOkay, but what hazy means is still a mystery to me. Cloudy equals tasty isn't the whole story, right?
Hop BroRight, the key is the hop-forward aroma. It pushes fruity fragrance up front, keeps bitterness from getting too sharp, and makes the beer feel juicy.
MugiJuicy by design? That is an alarmingly delicious sentence for a beer. My brain is still buffering!
Hop BroTAP&TUMBLER also has a self-pour system, so you get a glass and a POUR card, then serve exactly as much as you want.
MugiNo way, 0.1-ounce billing? That means even an 8.0% beer can start with a totally innocent 'just one sip' face!
Hop BroIt's two minutes from Ebisu Station with a 15-tap lineup focused on Japanese beer, plus daily restocks of overseas bottles and cans, and even HOP Butcher for the World packages just came in.
MugiAnd bring-your-own food too? That's overpowered. I could spend longer planning snacks than the actual drinking.
Hop BroExactly, and you can drink in-store, so the smart move is to start small and test that seriously hazy hit before going back for more.
MugiThat's it, I want this now. Let's raid Onigashima tonight, although that 8.0% might defeat me before the beer does!
Y Market Brewing on TAP 4
In TAP&TUMBLER Ebisu’s June 19 post, TAP 4 was announced as pouring Y Market Brewing’s Onigashima IX Hazy IPA at 8.0% ABV. The caption described it as a bold hazy beer, suggesting a hop-forward pour for drinkers looking for something dense and expressive. The same post also mentioned that packaged beers from Hop Butcher for the World had arrived.
A self-pour beer bar in Ebisu
TAP&TUMBLER is a craft beer volume shop about a two-minute walk from Ebisu Station. It features a self-service beer station, where guests receive a glass and POUR card from staff and then pour the amount they want themselves. Beer is charged in 0.1-ounce increments, making it easy to sample just a little or settle in for more.
15 taps and a bring-your-own-food setup
The shop keeps 15 taps rotating with mainly Japanese beer brands, plus more than 40 international cans and bottles arriving daily. Dine-in is available, but the bar does not serve food, and bringing your own food is welcome. That straightforward setup puts the beer front and center, making a guest-tap day a good time to check out a fresh release carefully and at your own pace.
