Swan Lake Pub Edo Tamachi branch showcases its standard five, plus seasonal and guest kegs
Swan Lake Pub Edo Tamachi branch has published its tap list. In addition to the five standard beers from its house brand, Swan Lake Beer, you can also see the seasonal kegs “#B-IPA” and “Miel Blanc,” the high-alcohol “Imperial Stout 2025,” and the guest beer “SHIGA KOGEN IPA.”
Hop BroToday it’s about Swan Lake Pub Edo Tamachi in Tokyo’s Shiba area publishing its tap list. They’ve got the house brand’s standards, seasonal kegs, and guest kegs too, so it’s a pretty substantial lineup.
MugiWhat! Even just the standard five is already impressive, and there’s more!? I’m going to get lost just looking at the menu!
Hop BroExactly. The core lineup is Swan Lake Beer: Golden Ale, Koshihikari Rice Lager, White Swan Weizen, Amber Swan Ale, and Porter. The nice thing is that it’s easy to compare a wide range of flavors.
MugiWhoa. But what’s a Rice Lager? Beer made with rice!? I can almost smell rice!
Hop BroThat’s right, Koshihikari Rice Lager is a style brewed with rice for a crisp, light finish. It helps to think of lager as something that tends to have a clean, snappy drinking profile thanks to low-temperature fermentation.
MugiI see. So White Swan Weizen is the kind of thing that feels soft and gentle? Even the name sounds elegant, like a white swan!
Hop BroGood read. Weizen is a wheat style, so it often has banana-like aromas and a smooth mouthfeel. With Amber Swan Ale and Porter in the mix, you get a lineup where color and richness can be enjoyed step by step.
MugiWhoa, that’s the kind of lineup that’s fun to compare! And they even have plenty of seasonal kegs, so it’s irresistible!
Hop BroThe seasonal taps are #B-IPA and Miel Blanc, and even Imperial Stout 2025, which is interesting. IPA puts the hop aroma front and center, and Imperial Stout, at Alc.10%, is dense and full-bodied; having that much range at one place is strong.
MugiWhat, Alc.10%!? That’s basically a tank in the beer world! And they even have SHIGA KOGEN IPA as a guest keg? Isn’t that cheating?
Hop BroThat’s what’s nice about Tamachi: they also mention Session I.P.A for takeout, and it’s easy to use with happy hour until 20:00 and no table charge. Whether you want one quick drink after work or a long tasting session, it works.
MugiThat’s the best! It’s perfect for a stop on the way home from work, and today there’s nothing for it but to go drink beer!
Hop BroIt’s decided then: let’s do a tasting in Tamachi and work our way through the standards and the seasonal kegs in order. Starting with something light, then moving to something rich, is the way to happiness.
