Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo taps five guest beers featuring Marlowe, Beak and Uchu
Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo has announced its June 13 tap lineup. The selection centers on Marlowe and also includes Beak, Uchu Brewing, Ghost Town Brewing and West Coast Brewing, giving beer fans a broad mix from hazy IPAs to an American pale ale.
Hop BroToday's headline is five fresh guest taps at Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo on June 13, built around Marlowe with Beak, Uchu, Ghost Town, and West Coast Brewing in the mix.
MugiWait, that's basically a Marlowe party! And if they open at noon on weekends, my daytime drinking excuse is officially approved!
Hop BroThe standout is Yeah No Yeah, a Marlowe x Beak Hazy Double IPA at 8.7%. It's the biggest, boldest pour in the lineup.
MugiWhoa, but Hazy Double IPA already sounds like it could bench-press me. What's 'double,' and what's 'hazy'?
Hop BroPut simply, it's extra-hop mode. Double IPA usually means more malt, more hops, and more alcohol, while hazy means a cloudy look with juicy, fruit-forward aroma.
MugiOkay, juicy aroma makes it sound much friendlier. But 8.7% still feels like one glass away from me giving a very emotional TED Talk.
Hop BroThat's why the side-by-side matters. Marlowe's 3 Corn and William are both Hazy IPAs, but at 6.7% and 6.0%, so you can compare how the body and finish change.
MugiNo way, so it's same style, different personality? That's basically a reality show for hazy beers, and I am seated.
Hop BroThen you add Uchu x Ghost Town's Summoning the Void and West Coast Brewing's Beach Ball Time. That gives you classic IPA character plus an easy 5.5% American Pale Ale for pairing.
MugiWith rotisserie chicken and hazy to pale flights, that sounds dangerously perfect. I can already feel myself getting pulled toward Takadanobaba.
Hop BroEven with tap seven gone, five kegs are plenty for a serious session, and honestly, I want a pint with chicken right now.
MugiSame, I want one right now! I'll warm up with Beach Ball Time, then charge straight into Yeah No Yeah.
Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo, a beer pub in Takadanobaba, Tokyo, posted a June 13 lineup featuring five guest beers. The venue opens at noon on weekends and holidays, making it an easy stop for a long, relaxed tasting session.
The taps include "Yeah No Yeah" by Marlowe × Beak, a hazy double IPA at 8.7%. Marlowe also appears with "Ghost Signatures: 3cone" and "William [Batch 6]", both hazy IPAs at 6.7% and 6.0%. That gives the bar three Marlowe beers on the board, all in the hazy spectrum but with different strengths and textures.
Rounding out the list are "Summoning the Void" by Uchu Brewing × Ghost Town Brewing, an IPA at 7.0%, and "Beach Ball Time" by West Coast Brewing, an American pale ale at 5.5%. The lineup moves from rich and juicy to lighter and more hop-forward, so guests can choose between intensity and drinkability.
At the time of the post, the seventh beer had already sold out, but the remaining five taps still offered a clear snapshot of the bar’s rotating guest-beer approach. Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo is known for a beer-first atmosphere, with sound carrying a bit inside the room, which makes it a place where drinkers can focus on the glass in front of them. Pairing this lineup with food such as rotisserie chicken or small plates would make for a straightforward, beer-centric visit.
