OPPERBACCO TAP TAKEOVER to Be Held at IBREW Ginza on April 25-26
An Instagram post from CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza introduced the scene from a tap takeover with Our Brewing and announced the upcoming OPPERBACCO TAP TAKEOVER scheduled for April 25 and 26. It also mentioned a collaboration beer and a limited IPA making its first appearance in Japan.
Hop BroOn IBREW Ginza's Instagram, they first showed scenes from the Our Brewing Tap Takeover. Apparently, it was the IBREW group's first time doing one, so they were clearly going all out.
MugiWait, their first time!? Just hearing tap takeover makes it sound like a festival, but what do they actually do?
Hop BroBasically, it's an event where they line up a whole bunch of beers from one brewery on draft. The highlight this time was a beer introduced as Yuzu Dragon, and it was also presented in English as Yuzu Sake Ale.
MugiYuzu and sake ale, that's a lot of information in one name! It said yuzu is the accent, so is it more of a refreshing style?
Hop BroExactly. It has a light, easy-drinking feel with yuzu aroma and a hint of tartness. What's interesting is that it changes character depending on the temperature, so it gives a different impression when it's cold and when it warms up a bit.
MugiOh, that sounds like it'd be fun to pair with food too! If they even suggested food pairings, it makes you want to go to the bar itself!
Hop BroAnd the teaser for the next event is the real headline. They’re planning an OPPERBACCO TAP TAKEOVER for April 25 and 26, with Italian craft beer taking center stage.
MugiItalian craft beer!? The style factor just shot up! If importer Akira is also scheduled to visit, the energy on site is probably going to be intense.
Hop BroAnd the one you can't miss is the Black Hazy IPA. It was announced as having only one keg imported domestically, so this is the kind of rare pick that gets beer fans excited.
MugiOnly one keg? That's a straight-up scramble! If you can drink a limited IPA like that in Ginza, you basically have no choice but to clear your schedule. That one-keg rarity is way too strong!
Hop BroIBREW Ginza is the kind of place that's great for taking your time and enjoying limited rotating beers, and this time the range goes from yuzu-based to Italian-style. Days like this make me want to go experience that happiness of comparing beers.
MugiI'm completely in that mood too! The lineup is the kind that makes you think, I want to drink right now. This is definitely one of those 'we should just go together' situations!
