Hop BroBeer Pub Ishii in Sendagi updated Instagram on August 8, and this eight-beer tap list is seriously good!
MugiWait, eight Japanese pours already? That is way too strong a lineup. Tell me who's on it!
Hop BroStarting lineup: Hop Kotan Brewing's 'Pollux' leads off, plus Sankt Gallen's Golden Ale, North Island's Brown Ale, and Ushitora Brewery's 'Kammuryo.' It covers crisp, malty, and citrusy in one go.
MugiHold on, what is Brown Ale? The name makes it sound like barley tea's stylish cousin!
Hop BroIt tends to be brown in color with toasted malt, nutty notes, and a softer body. So think toasty, easy richness, not a heavy bruiser.
MugiOoh, and that dramatic name 'Kammuryo' is doing a lot. I want to order it before I even know what it tastes like!
Hop BroAnd the bench is stacked too: Brasserie Knot's WIND, Shiga Kogen Beer's Pale Ale, Hop Kotan's 'Akaki wa Sake no Toga,' and Let's Beer Works' 'Meow' are all in the next-wave lineup.
MugiWait, waiting to tap means the beers are backstage fixing their collars before showtime?
Hop BroPretty much. It means the keg isn't connected yet, but it's up next. Beer Pub Ishii shines because it rotates beers daily, so every visit changes the game.
MugiThat rules. A small pub on Yomise-dori where you can drop in for one after a walk? That's dangerous information.
Hop BroThe food changes day by day too, from snacks to proper plates, so the pairing options stay wide. Honestly, I'm already planning my first pint.
MugiSame. Start with Golden Ale, chase Meow when it opens, and call it perfect. I am fully ready for a Sendagi toast.
Updated Tap List
In its August 8 post, Beer Pub Ishii kicked off with Pollux from Hop Kotan Brewing, Golden Ale from Sankt Gallen, Brown Ale from North Island, and Kanmuryou from Ushitora Brewery. The post also listed the next beers to be tapped: WIND from Brasserie Knot, Pale Ale from Shiga Kogen, Akiki wa Sake no To ga from Hop Kotan Brewing, and Meow from Let's Beer Works.
The lineup covers a broad range of styles, from easy-drinking ales to brown ale and beers with distinctive names. That fits Beer Pub Ishii well: the pub is a small Sendagi spot on Yomise-dori that focuses on Japanese craft beer, with a rotating selection that changes over time. The house style is built around variety, so regulars can expect a different glass almost every visit.
The room itself is compact and casual, making it a good stop for a solo pint or a relaxed drink with a small group. Food changes with the day as well, so pairing a beer with a snack or a fuller plate is part of the experience. For anyone tracking Japanese craft beer in Tokyo, this is an easy place to keep on the radar.
