A Drink Invitation on a Rain-Cleared Friday

Daikanyama craft beer bar "Bibibi." has published a tap list post to let people know it is open for business on Friday. The caption simply says, "It's Friday! The rain has stopped! Let's drink!" and conveys the easygoing feeling of wanting to raise a glass casually in the evening after the rain clears.

"Bibibi." is a beer pub in Daikanyama-cho, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo. With 10 taps and a standing-focused interior, it places importance on domestic craft beer and on sharing the stories of the people who make it. Though it is a small shop, its appeal lies in the lineup of beers on each tap, each with its own character, giving beer lovers the pleasure of thinking about the next pour while they drink.

Rather than putting specific beer names front and center, this post is the kind that conveys the atmosphere of the day itself. On a post-rain evening in Daikanyama, it is a light, Bibibi.-like invitation that also works well for a quick stop for one drink after work.

It is easy to reach from Daikanyama Station and also walkable from the Ebisu area, so it is a convenient destination not only when there is a tap you want to try, but also when you just want to stop in for your first drink. For anyone who wants to connect with the makers' backgrounds through beer, it was a fitting post for getting a feel for "Bibibi." right now.
