Beer Pub Ishii Announces Maintenance and Publishes Tap Status for 8 Beers
Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, announced maintenance on Instagram and shared its current tap lineup. The post lists four beers available at opening and four more waiting to be tapped, giving a clear idea of what might pour next.
Hop BroSendagi's Beer Pub Ishii has revealed its post-maintenance taps. The current lineup is pretty stout and interesting.
MugiWhoa, starting with four beers on tap means you can already choose that many? It feels like they're having a meeting in front of the fridge!
Hop BroThe first is Kanpai! Brewing's Gekizaka Dark Mild Ale, the second is Let's Beer Works' HOPPY HUE, and then Hop Kotan Brewing's Ume Migachi and Shiga Kogen Beer's Porter. Since there's a solid malt-forward core, you can really see the balance between toastiness and drinkability.
MugiDark Mild Ale sounds hard already from the name. What does it actually taste like? I thought Gekizaka meant it would be super spicy!
Hop BroNot spicy at all. Mild means lighter and easier to drink, while Dark points to the color and toasted character of roasted malt. In other words, it's refreshing yet toasty.
MugiI see! So the porter fits that same line too, like something gently and richly tasty. I'm about to get caught in a toasty rabbit hole!
Hop BroAnd on deck for tapping are Sankt Gallen's Yokohama XPA, North Island's Sylvan Relic, Chichibu Beer’s Natsukuma no Lager, and Ushitora Brewery's Yozora no Simkou. The fact that you can't predict the next pour is what makes it fun.
MugiWhat is that, the kind of place where your fate changes every time you visit? XPA and lager on standby are totally different characters from the sturdy lineup before!
Hop BroExactly. XPA tends to put hops up front, and lager is all about crispness. A post-maintenance tap list shows the shop's current mood. That map of what to drink is so very Ishii.
MugiWednesday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., and Sunday from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. means we could stop by after work! Seeing the best pick for tonight makes us want to go right away too!
