taki in Shibuya taps Shiga Kogen Beer’s House IPA, joins three-beer lineup
The beer pub taki in Sakuragaoka, Shibuya updated its tap list for July 30. Shiga Kogen Beer’s House IPA is now on tap, alongside Minoh Beer’s PLUM GOSE and Ise Kadoya Beer’s Beyond the Pacific.
Hop BroShibuya’s taki just rolled out a fresh tap update today. The new pour is Shiga Kogen Beer’s House IPA, making it a neat lineup of three.
MugiWhat, really? Shiga Kogen Beer in Shibuya? And the name House IPA already sounds like it means business!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. House IPA is an Imperial IPA, sitting at 8.0% ABV, but it’s still designed to feel crisp and refreshing.
MugiWait, what is an Imperial IPA? It sounds like a beer served in a royal palace and now I’m nervous.
Hop BroBasically, it means a bigger IPA with more weight and strength. But this one is only 13 IBU, so it’s not built to be harshly bitter.
MugiHuh! Then what does 100% Maris Otter mean? That phrase just walked in wearing a brewer’s lab coat.
Hop BroThat’s the name of a classic British malt. It gives a biscuity backbone, and that helps the hop character stand out cleanly.
MugiOkay, got it! So Minoh Beer’s PLUM GOSE is more tart and fruity, which makes it a totally different vibe from House IPA.
Hop BroExactly. And Isekadoya Beer’s Beyond the Pacific is also on tap, so you get sour-fruity, lingering-aromatic, and full-bodied all in one set.
MugiAnd taki sounds perfect for weeknights too! Open from 5 p.m., so this is basically a post-work three-beer field trip.
Hop BroAt taki near Shibuya Station, it really feels like a three-way tasting flight waiting to happen. Pair it with food, then finish strong with House IPA.
MugiNope, that’s it, I want a pint now. Start with PLUM GOSE for the surprise, then end on House IPA for the grand finale!
