Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi lines up two Shiga Kogen beers and four upcoming taps
Beer Pub Ishii’s Instagram post paired sautéed shiitake mushrooms with a tap update: Shiga Kogen Beer’s SCHWARTZ!? and NEW ENGI-LAND IPA were pouring, while Isehara Brewery’s Toretate Green Tea Ale and Sankt Gallen’s Pineapple Ale were listed as coming up.
Hop BroBeer Pub Ishii in Sendagi just posted a tap update that's basically a perfect drinking route. It starts with Shiga Kogen Beer's SCHWARTZ!? and NEW ENGI-LAND IPA.
MugiWhat! Two Shiga Kogen beers to open with? And there was sauteed shiitake in the photo too? That's hitting both my thirst and my stomach!
Hop BroNEW ENGI-LAND IPA is a juicy IPA, so the hop aroma opens up right away. It should pair nicely with the mushroom's umami.
MugiWait, juicy IPA? What is that supposed to mean? Is there actual fruit juice in it?
Hop BroNot literal juice. It means fruit-like hop aroma. It's often hazy, soft on the palate, and makes you think, 'peach? citrus?'
MugiOhhh! Then SCHWARTZ!? sounds like a dark beer situation, and with shiitake on the side that's basically autumn forest mode!
Hop BroThat image is oddly accurate. And Beer Pub Ishii runs a four-tap setup: three rotating taps plus one permanent Heartland, which makes the whole flow fun.
MugiNo way! So they connect the next keg as each barrel empties? That means the lineup changes every time you visit. That's beer roulette!
Hop BroExactly, and the beers waiting next are Hansharo and St. Gallen. Fresh Green Tea Ale and Pineapple Ale as the next move is honestly unfair.
MugiGreen tea into pineapple is a flavor roller coaster! You go in for one drink and suddenly your whole night is gone!
Hop BroPlaces like this always make me want to drink the whole sequence. Start with Shiga Kogen, then follow whatever opens next.
MugiI'm fully sold, I want a glass now! Let's grab sauteed shiitake and follow that tap lineup in Sendagi!
What the post showed
Beer Pub Ishii, a craft-beer pub in Sendagi at 3-45-8, Tokyo, shared an Instagram update featuring a small plate of sautéed shiitake mushrooms alongside its current tap lineup. The post opened with Shiga Kogen Beer’s SCHWARTZ!? and NEW ENGI-LAND IPA, then listed Isehara Brewery’s Toretate Green Tea Ale and Sankt Gallen’s Pineapple Ale as the next beers to be tapped.
A four-tap pub
According to the pub’s official site, Beer Pub Ishii has four taps in total, with three rotating each day and one permanent tap reserved for Kirin Heartland. As kegs run out, they are replaced one by one, so the lineup changes from visit to visit. That makes the pub a good place to experience a different combination of Japanese craft beers every time.
Beer and food together
The kitchen offers everything from small snacks to more substantial dishes, so a plate like the shiitake sauté fits naturally into the beer flow. Starting with the two Shiga Kogen beers and moving on to the coming taps from Isehara Brewery and Sankt Gallen gives the night a clear progression. Compact, neighborhood-focused, and built for an easy stop-in pint, it is the kind of pub where one drink can turn into a longer session without trying to be more than it is.
