CIDER SHACK in Shibuya adds KUNITACHI 1926, Daisen G Beer, and Matsumoto Brewery
CIDER SHACK, a beer pub in Shibuya, shared its latest tap lineup on Instagram. The current selection includes KUNITACHI BREWERY’s Kölsch-style 1926, Daisen G Beer’s Weizenbock, and Matsumoto Brewery’s RADIUS IPA, pointing to a slightly fuller-bodied lineup.
Hop BroIf I were picking a Shibuya stop tonight, CIDER SHACK’s latest taps would be hard to ignore. They’ve got KUNITACHI 1926, Daisen G Beer, and Matsumoto Brewery all lined up.
MugiWait, those names sound intense! What order am I supposed to drink them in without embarrassing myself?
Hop BroYou start with KUNITACHI BREWERY’s Kolsch 1926 for a light entry, move to Daisen G Beer’s Weizenbock for malt depth, and finish with Matsumoto Brewery’s RADIUS IPA for the hop kick.
MugiHold on, Weizenbock sounds like a spell from a wizard pub. I’m already scared of ordering it wrong!
Hop BroFair reaction. Think of it as a richer wheat beer with soft wheat character plus the sturdy body of a bock. Bold, but still very inviting.
MugiOhhh, so it goes from light to heavy like climbing stairs with beer at the top. Ending on an IPA sounds kind of glorious.
Hop BroExactly, it builds a drinking rhythm really well. The Kolsch gets you moving, the Weizenbock adds weight, and RADIUS IPA closes with bitterness and aroma.
MugiA rhythm? What is that, sprint training for beer? Am I supposed to stretch before the first sip?
Hop BroThat just means each pour leads naturally to the next one. And CIDER SHACK keeps it unfussy while still letting the brewers’ intent come through, which makes me want to start with 1926 right now.
MugiThen we’re going from Kolsch to IPA in proper order. Add light snacks and somen at the end, and now I absolutely want a drink.
Located in Shibuya’s Higashi neighborhood, CIDER SHACK is a beer pub built around cider and craft beer. In its latest Instagram post, the shop presented a lineup that matches its concept of selecting beers that are unadorned and clearly reflect the brewer’s intent.
The beer lineup starts with KUNITACHI BREWERY’s Kölsch-style `1926`, followed by Daisen G Beer’s Weizenbock and Matsumoto Brewery’s `RADIUS IPA`. It is an easy lineup to read from left to right: a crisp first pour, a maltier middle beer, and an IPA to finish.
The post also notes that the lineup leans a little heavier than usual, which suits the warmer season. Food is kept light, with easy snacks on hand and even somen noodles available as a closing option. The result is a pub that keeps beer at the center while still feeling like a place for everyday drinking, not a stage for overstatement.
