IBREW Ginza Store Taps Bighand Bros.×Shiokaze Brew Lab English IPA
At CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza, an English IPA from the collaboration between Bighand Bros. and Shiokaze Brew Lab has been tapped. The post introduced it as "British Style Craft Beer Tap Takeover Day 2" and also announced upcoming event information.
Hop BroAt IBREW Ginza, there’s talk of an English IPA tapping. It’s a collaboration between Bighand Bros. and Shiokaze Brew Lab, and it really feels like a wave of British-style vibes has arrived.
MugiWhoa! An English-style IPA in Ginza? Suddenly it sounds like the venue got classy out of nowhere!
Hop BroExactly. The post introduced it as British Style Craft Beer Tap Takeover Day 2. Since it’s a project where the taps are switched over all at once, the shop’s character comes through pretty clearly.
MugiA tap takeover, huh? Wait, you mean like taking over the faucet? That sounds a little dangerous!
Hop BroThe image is close, but it’s harmless. It’s an event where beers from different breweries are lined up all at once, making it easy to compare the differences in flavor.
MugiI see. So what makes that English IPA feel so typically British?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. It has a solid malt backbone, with hop aroma layered on top, so it tends to have depth that’s more than just bitterness.
MugiOhhh! So it comes in softly through the aroma, and then the malty richness follows after? That’s the kind of thing that makes you hungry.
Hop BroExactly. And because it’s a collaboration beer, there’s also the fun of seeing how Bighand Bros. and Shiokaze Brew Lab's interpretations overlap.
MugiAnd they even listed future big events in the event info too, which is unfair! I’m curious about the Nobody Brewing Tap Takeover on August 8 and 9, and TOKYO BEER COLLECTION 2026 on October 1 too!
Hop BroIt’s nice that you can drink a British-style IPA in the Yaesu area and imagine the next projects too. Today it’s one pint in Ginza, and it makes you want to keep following the next tap takeover as well.
MugiAlright, now my head is full of beer! I’m in the mood to compare beers, so let’s make a stop in Ginza today!
A post at CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza in Tokyo's Yaesu district announced "British Style Craft Beer Tap Takeover Day 2." The focus this time is the tapping of a collaborative English IPA by Bighand Bros. and Shiokaze Brew Lab. With its British-style theme, it stands out as a pint to enjoy with attention to the depth of the malt and the aroma of the hops.
IBREW Ginza is a beer pub where you can enjoy craft beer on tap. Because of the shop's character, it is easy to follow each beer's individuality one pint at a time, and in a project like a tap takeover, the breweries' ideas and differences in flavor-making come through clearly. This time, too, because it is a collaboration beer, it invites you to see how the interpretations of both sides overlap in a way that is different from a standalone label.
The event information section of the post also listed Nobody Brewing Tap Takeover 〜Collaboration Beer Unveiling〜 on August 8 and 9, as well as TOKYO BEER COLLECTION 2026 〜47 Tokyo Breweries Tap Takeover〜 on October 1. It is the kind of announcement you'd expect from a craft beer shop, giving you a taste of British-style IPA in the Yaesu area while also keeping an eye on bigger upcoming events.
