drifter’s stand in Togoshi Ginza Adds RIKRI BREWING’s Second Batch
drifter’s stand, a beer pub in Togoshi Ginza, has received the second guest lineup from Gakugei Daigaku’s RIKRI BREWING. The tap list includes a West Coast IPA, a Farmhouse Ale, and a Kölsch Style beer, all built around a clear, dry profile.
Hop BroThis one’s worth talking about: new taps at drifter’s stand. RIKRI BREWING from Gakugei-daigaku just sent over round two, and there are three guest beers in the lineup.
MugiWait, three beers in round two? That sounds serious. What showed up?
Hop BroThe theme is clean and dry drinking. SPIRAL is a West Coast IPA, Holyfield is a Farmhouse Ale, and Encore is a Kölsch Style beer.
MugiWhoa, those names go hard. It already sounds like a fight card and an encore at the same time. What’s SPIRAL like?
Hop BroSPIRAL uses Riwaka and Citra plus Nelson Sauvin and Strata CGX, so you get grapefruity citrus, fresh green notes, a bit of dankness, and then a crisp dry finish.
MugiWhat is that dank thing supposed to mean? Please don’t tell me I need a flavor dictionary and a flashlight.
Hop BroThink of it as green resin vibes. Not musty basement, more sticky herbaceous depth. And Holyfield gets this cool farmhouse yeast character with white grape and ripe pear notes.
MugiHold on, farmhouse yeast character? And then you casually drop phenols like I’m supposed to nod wisely?
Hop BroIn this case, phenols often mean peppery spice aromas. Think pepper or clove. Encore goes sharp and clear with green lemon, green apple, hay, and Mittelfrüh-driven floral and herbal notes, so honestly I want a full side-by-side tasting.
MugiThen let’s go for the three-beer tasting flight! A small room, calm vibe, max twelve people, and two per group? That sounds perfect for a serious-but-fun beer mission.
drifter’s stand in Togoshi Ginza has brought in the second guest shipment from [RIKRI BREWING](/app) in Gakugei Daigaku. The bar highlights the brewery’s clean, clear IPA character, and this round adds three pale, modern beers to the lineup.
The beers listed are:
- SPIRAL (West Coast IPA)
- Holyfield (Farmhouse Ale)
- Encore (Kölsch Style)
SPIRAL is a West Coast IPA brewed with Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, Citra, and Strata CGX. The brewery describes grapefruit-like citrus, green herbaceous notes, and a dank edge, with a dry finish designed for repeat drinking.
Holyfield is a Farmhouse Ale built on farmhouse yeast character, plus Triumph and Nelson Sauvin. The notes point to white grape, ripe pear, and a gentle citrus sweetness.
Encore is a Kölsch Style beer with a dry, sharp profile. Its aroma is described as blue lemon, green apple, dried flowers, and hay, along with floral, herbal, and muscat-like nuances from Mittelfrüh.
The venue itself is small and tightly run, with a posted limit of two guests per group and a maximum of 12 people inside. That makes it a focused place to drink through RIKRI’s latest release before heading out to the brewery itself.
