At Ushi-Tora Stand, the beer pub in MIYASHITA PARK in Shibuya, four newly tapped craft beers from Ushi-Tora Brewery have arrived. From an IPA that celebrates bitterness to a beer where coconut, pineapple, and apple fruitiness come to the fore, the lineup offers a wide range of expressions.
Hop BroAt Ushi-Tora Stand in Shibuya's MIYASHITA PARK, four new Ushi-Tora Brewery beers have tapped.
MugiWhoa, four kinds!? Just seeing four new beers tapped makes today feel like an automatic win!
Hop BroThe one that stands out most is Nigai no Nigai no Nondeke~!, a name that sounds strong right from the start. It's a Sandiego Style Double IPA at 8.5%, and it really pushes bitterness to the front.
MugiWhat even is San Diego style!? If it's a Double IPA, what exactly gets doubled when you double an IPA?
Hop BroIn broad terms, the hop presence and alcohol character tend to come through strongly. Unlike the aroma-driven IPAs that are common these days, this one makes bitterness the star, so it should really land with people who like that old-school drinkability.
MugiI see, so it's the kind that hits your tongue hard! Then next I want to go with Adult Canned Beer for something a little more classic!
Hop BroThat's a good choice too. It's an American IPA at 6.5%, a solid, proper IPA that lets you enjoy hop aroma. And Coco Kara Pine is a Wheat ale with coconut and pineapple at 4.5%, giving off a sweet tropical aroma.
MugiCoconut and pineapple!? That's basically a tropical fruit festival. Is it really okay for beer to be this cheerful!?
Hop BroOf course it is. The last one, Happily Apple, is an Apple Sour ale at 5%, and its apple acidity comes through cleanly, so drinking it after an IPA gives a nice reset feeling.
MugiA fun tasting flight in Shibuya is pretty hard to beat. If it's open Monday through Sunday from 11:00 to 23:00 and has Happy Hour too, I definitely want to stop by after work!
Hop BroExactly. Start with the bitterness of Nigai no Nigai no Nondeke~!, then move into the fruit-driven beers, and the differences become really clear.
MugiAll right, let's have a drink in Shibuya today! At Ushi-Tora Stand, I want to try everything, from the bitter ones to the sweet ones!
Four new beers tapped on 3/25
At "Ushi-Tora Stand" in MIYASHITA PARK, Shibuya, four new craft beers were announced in a March 25 post. The lineup stands out for its playful Ushi-Tora Brewery-style naming and its wide range of styles.
- Nigai no Nigai no Nondeke~!
Sandiego Style Double IPA / 8.5%
- Adult Canned Beer
American IPA / 6.5%
- Coco Kara Pine
Coconut & Pineapple Wheat ale / 4.5%
- Happily Apple
Apple Sour ale / 5%
The caption explains that while strongly aromatic IPAs have become the mainstream lately, Nigai no Nigai no Nondeke~! is the one that will hit home for people who still want the old-school bitterness. Along with the bitterness-forward Double IPA, the lineup includes an IPA for enjoying hop aroma, a Wheat ale that looks intriguing with its coconut-and-pineapple combination, and a Sour ale that makes the most of apple acidity, making it easy to choose according to your mood.
The shop is located inside MIYASHITA PARK, an easy walk from Shibuya Station. It is easy to drop by in the middle of shopping or strolling around town, and that convenience is one of the store's strengths for casually trying craft beer. The post also listed business hours: Monday through Sunday, 11:00-23:00, with Happy Hour from 11:00-23:00 on weekdays and 11:00-18:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, during which a 470ml Pint is 300 yen off. It is a setup that works well for a drink after work or for a weekend tasting session.
For beer lovers, it would probably be easiest to start with the bitterness-forward IPA and then move on to the fruitier beers, so the differences in each beer's character become clear. On a day when you're looking for new taps in Shibuya, these are four to keep in mind.
