Hop BroAt Wailele in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, they put out the draft lineup for May 15 service, and first up is Big Wave Golden Ale as the anchor. Starting off with a Hawaiian vibe is nice, isn't it?
MugiWait! A beer pub with a Hawaiian vibe? That's basically vacation mode the moment you walk in! Even though it's Shibuya, it sounds like you can hear the sound of the waves!
Hop BroAnd it's not just Kona Brewing's staple lineup either. They've got guest beers from Threes Brewing, Burnt Mill Brewery, and Revision Brewing too. Being able to enjoy a mix of U.S., U.K., Canadian, and European names all at once is strong.
MugiWhat is that! A mix of U.S., U.K., Canadian, and European names? It's like a world championship! You can travel that much in just one place?
Hop BroYou really can. For example, from Point Success IPA to Revision IPA, it's a lineup that IPA fans who love big aromas won't want to miss, and it's slick that Moralité IPA and The Apprentice 2026 are in between too.
MugiHuh. But with an IPA tasting lineup, isn't it just bitterness? I'm still a little nervous about that part.
Hop BroIt's not just bitterness. The hop aroma, citrus notes, piney character, and juiciness all differ, and there are also styles like Northeast-style hazy IPA that use haze to round out the mouthfeel.
MugiWait! A rounded mouthfeel from haze? It's like the beer is intentionally turning into a cloud!? That has to be delicious!
Hop BroAnd the dark beers aren't neglected either. With Left Hand Brewing's Milk Stout and Maui Brewing's Coconut Hiwa Porter, you can also enjoy roasty beers.
MugiWow! And they even have Hibiscus Wheat and Hagi Yuzu Ale too? They're really well stocked in fruit-forward styles! Today isn't a venue where tastes split; it's a day where everyone wins.
Hop BroExactly. Wailele is in Dogenzaka, easy to reach from Shibuya, and the appeal is being able to enjoy whatever's on tap today, so the right move is to choose one beer at a time based on your mood.
MugiI've decided! I'll start with Big Wave and finish with the stout! Hop, let's go raise a glass together today!
