TBE Brewing in Ebisu shares June 30 keg lineup with Shiga Kogen and Ise Kadoya
TBE Brewing, a beer pub in Ebisu Minami, Shibuya, posted its June 30 keg lineup. The board lists 10 domestic beers ranging from 4.0% to 7.5%, and also previews Egre IPA as the next tap.
Hop BroToday's headline is TBE Brewing in Ebisu dropping its June 30 keg lineup, and it's packed with Shiga Kogen Beer, Isekadoya Beer, and eight more Japanese pours.
MugiWait, ten beers total? I walk in for one casual drink and suddenly I need a full battle plan!
Hop BroExactly, and the range runs from 4.0% to 7.5%, so you can start light with Ishinomaki Hop's May the Force Be With You and climb all the way to Shiga Kogen's Sono Ju No.10 IPA. That's serious range for one tap list.
MugiHold on, keg lineup sounds super industry-coded. You just mean the draft beers pouring today, right?
Hop BroYep, that's it. Think of it like the starting rotation in the cooler, and the IPA side is especially clear here with Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label and Sono Ju No.10 IPA as a two-IPA setup.
MugiOooh, so if I want big hop energy those are the obvious picks. Also, 'Silver Label' sounds less like beer and more like a refrigerator that could beat me up.
Hop BroThe name sounds intense, but the style is the real clue. IPA usually means brighter aroma and firmer bitterness, and Isekadoya's Mr. Dank suggests that resiny hop character people chase in bolder pours.
MugiWhat even is dank in beer? Is this a pint or a slam dunk? The second you said resin, my brain ran straight to a hardware store.
Hop BroNo basketball, just aroma. 'Dank' usually points to deeper hop notes like pine, herbs, and that sticky, loud character, so with Juicy Parade from Ushiku and White Harmony from Egret around, this is basically a tasting playground.
MugiAnd then the food list comes in with bluefin tuna sashimi, spare ribs, and oyster ajillo, so the beer-food combo is way too strong. My stomach has already entered before I have.
Hop BroIt gets worse in the best way, because the next tap is Egret IPA at 5.5%, so you can obsess over the current ten kegs or start plotting the next pour. That's tap list temptation at a dangerous level.
MugiI'm sold. Start light, finish with Shiga Kogen or Isekadoya, and accept reality. Tonight has more than one pint written all over it!

Food options in the same post include sashimi of wild bluefin tuna, pork spare ribs baked in the oven, grilled sausage assortment, breaded pork fillet cutlet, oyster ajillo with baguette, house-made yakibuta, simmered kotsubugai snails from Hokkaido, and an oil pasta with mussels, tomatoes, and zucchini.
