TBE Brewing in Ebisu Lines Up 16 Beers for May 16, Including Shiga Kogen and Isekado
The beer pub TBE Brewing in Ebisu Minami has released its KEG lineup for May 16. In addition to labels from around Japan such as Shiga Kogen Beer, Isekadoya Beer, and BLACK TIDE Brewing, the selection also includes upcoming next taps, making for a wide-ranging lineup.
Hop BroTBE Brewing in Ebisu Minami has just dropped the full May 16 tap lineup. I like how they’re not only listing the current drafts but also showing the NEXT TAP BEER too. It really gives off a “today’s going to be fun” vibe.
MugiWait, a 16-beer lineup is too much! My eyes are already darting around just looking at the menu. Is there even a timeline where I can drink all of these?
Hop BroThere is, or rather, this is the kind of lineup where getting lost is part of the fun. Right now they’ve got Shiga Kogen Beer’s DPA, Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver., Sono Ju No.10 IPA, plus BLACK TIDE’s #480 Tohoku Pride, and more.
MugiDPA? What even is that! I get IPA, but DPA suddenly feels like a code word!
Hop BroIf you think of DPA as something like a dry, easy-drinking pale ale, it becomes easier to approach. In other words, just expect a style with a light bitterness that goes down smoothly.
MugiI see! Then I might be interested in the session IPA. Ushitora Brewery’s Sachihop Session IPA already sounds like the hops are full of energy!
Hop BroThat’s a good angle. A session IPA keeps the alcohol lower while letting you enjoy the aroma, so its appeal is all about being aromatic and light on its feet. And with Minoh Beer’s Kozaru IPA, Isekadoya Beer’s NIKUKYU IPA, and even Sakekasu Hazy IPA ZAKU Shinryoku on the board, it’s fun to see the different styles side by side.
MugiWait, a sake lees hazy IPA!? That has to be delicious. Sake lees is the stuff that gives off that soft sake aroma, right?
Hop BroExactly. Hazy beers are known for their cloudy, soft mouthfeel, and when you add the nuance of sake lees, they often get a rounded aftertaste. On top of that, the next taps include BLACK TIDE’s #490 Hazy Wave Ver.1.0, Shiga Kogen’s Kasumi, and even DOGFISH × OXBOW × SHIGAKOGEN’s Kind of Gold, so they’re really going all in.
MugiThey even have collaborations!? This is like beer comparison heaven. I’m starting to think I should cancel my plans and head to Ebisu today!
Hop BroThat sounds like the right call. It looks like some beers are already running low, so grab anything you’re curious about early, and then let’s make it a contest to see how many rounds we can go.
