San.publichouse taps Teenage Brewing's Spentage Sour IPA
San.publichouse, a beer pub in Uehara, Shibuya, Tokyo, has added Teenage Brewing's Spentage Sour IPA as a guest beer. The beer is built around cassis, framboise, and balsamic vinegar, giving it a layered fruit-and-acid profile.
Hop BroThere’s a fresh tap worth talking about: San.publichouse in Yoyogi-Uehara just poured Spentage / Sour IPA as a guest beer.
MugiWait, a Sour IPA? That name is doing too much. Is it tart, hoppy, or both?
Hop BroPretty much both. It’s from Teenage Brewing, built with cassis, framboise, and balsamic vinegar for layered fruit and acidity.
MugiWhat does defined acidity even mean? Is the sourness lining up in formation or something?
Hop BroNot marching, exactly. Structured acidity just means the sourness has a clear shape instead of feeling blurry, and at 5.0% ABV it should stay easy to drink.
MugiOhh, so the berries come in loud and then it lands clean. Clean finish sounds dangerously crushable!
Hop BroExactly, and the hops are Citra, Hallertau Blanc, and Strata, with light tannic texture adding grip underneath all that fruit.
MugiHold on, what is tannin doing in my beer chat? Did this suddenly become wine school?
Hop BroIt’s that gentle drying grip in your mouth. This is also a collab brew with Spent Grain, so the recipe sounds seriously dialed in, and now I want a glass.
MugiThen we need to go while the keg is on. Tea, standing bar vibes, and a sour-fruity IPA? I want to fact-check that flavor immediately!
San.publichouse in Uehara, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, has updated its guest beer lineup with Spentage / Sour IPA from Teenage Brewing. The Instagram post describes it as a sour IPA made with cassis, framboise, and balsamic vinegar, and lists it at 5.0% ABV.
According to Teenage Brewing's beer page, Spentage leans into deep berry character, a bright acidic edge, and a light tannic finish. The beer also uses Citra, Hallertau Blanc, and Strata hops, which help support its layered aroma and structure.
Spentage is a collaboration between Teenage Brewing and Spent Grain. The beer brings together Teenage's recipe-driven approach and Spent Grain's technical expertise in brewery setup and support, making it a well-built sour IPA rather than just a fruit-forward novelty.
San.publichouse itself is a standing-style craft beer and tea bar, so it fits this kind of rotating guest tap well. For beer drinkers in Tokyo looking for something with clear fruit character and a crisp, structured sour profile, this is a tap worth checking while it is available.
