Ebisu TBE Brewing to Feature 16 Domestic and International Beers on Tap on March 23
The Ebisu beer pub TBE Brewing has released its KEG lineup for March 23. From Yatsugatake Touchdown's cold-brew coffee lager to CRAK Brewery's DDH IPA, the selection spans a wide range of distinctive domestic and international beers, and six upcoming taps have also been announced.
Hop BroHey, Mugi-chan, TBE Brewing in Ebisu just dropped its March 23 tap update. It’s on the second floor of the Shinbori Guitar Building, and this time the lineup is packed with distinctive picks from Japan and abroad.
MugiWait, 16 domestic and international beers!? With that many, my memory buffer is going to fill up before I even choose!
Hop BroThe first highlight is Yatsugatake Touchdown’s Cold-Brew Coffee Lager. At 5.0%, it has the clean feel of a lager with the roasted aroma of coffee layered on top, so it stays light but still has depth.
MugiCold brew means the coffee is swimming inside the beer? Is that what you’d call a roasty landing?
Hop BroPretty close, but no swimming. The extraction keeps the edges from getting harsh, so the bitterness doesn’t run wild and everything stays balanced. And Yorocco Beer’s Natsumikan Saison is also 4.0%, with citrus character and saison brightness that feel very spring-like.
MugiWhat is that, it already sounds delicious just from the name! And spring-like aroma? That’s the kind of beer you want after cherry blossom viewing!
Hop BroFor IPA fans, the lineup gets even better, with Open Air’s Hop Viking, Iwate Kura Beer’s Sakura Arashi IPA - PinkTyhoon -, and even Shiga Kogen Beer’s Sono Juu No.10 IPA. It’s exciting because you can line up domestic IPAs and compare them side by side.
MugiHop Viking sounds to me like a hop-world all-you-can-eat buffet. Are they all bold and aggressive?
Hop BroExactly, and from overseas there’s also CRAK Brewery’s FUCK INDUSTRIAL DDH IPA on tap. DDH uses a generous dry-hop charge, which really pushes the aroma forward, so the hop presence is quite vivid.
MugiWow, they even have the next planned tap openings listed. Minoh Beer’s Honey Saison, Kunitachi Brewery’s Gakugeidaimae... now I just want to take my time and bar-hop around Ebisu today!
Hop BroRight? There’s also the casual rotating food menu, so it’s the kind of place where you want to linger and make it a beer-focused night. Mugi-chan, why not start with the Cold-Brew Coffee Lager and finish with the DDH IPA?
MugiAgreed! Then I’m going with a flow from roastiness to hops! Seeing a tap list like this makes it impossible to stop wanting a drink!
