Beerpub Ishii, located at 3-45-8 Sendagi in Bunkyo, Tokyo, shared an updated tap list in its August 15 post. The lineup is presented in the pub's typical style: what is pouring now, and what is likely to come next.

On tap now


- Brasserie Knot "AWA-Awa"
- Oni Densetsu Beer "Kinki Pale Ale"
- Ushitora Brewery "Shibuya de Paradise Hazy IPA"
- Songbird "Wheat"

Waiting to be tapped


- Let's Beer Works "Kichijozaka IPA Classic"
- Brasserie Knot "RIVER"
- Let's Beer Works "Akagizaka RedAle"
- Hoppukotan Brewing "Iho"

The current four cover a clear range of flavors, from the fruity character of "AWA-Awa" to a pale ale, a hazy IPA, and a wheat beer. Once the four pending beers join the board, the selection should broaden further, especially for drinkers who like moving between IPA, red ale, and brewery-specific interpretations of style.

That changing draft lineup is part of the appeal of a beer pub like Ishii in Sendagi: it is a place where the board itself tells the story. For beer fans, the next pour may be just as interesting as the current one.
