Hop BroIn Tokushima, terrace38 is hosting a tap takeover with two local breweries all together. 2nd Story Ale Works and SABURO BREWING are the main attractions, and March 29 is shaping up to be a pretty hot day.
MugiWait, a tap takeover is the one where all the beers at the shop get swapped out, right? That sounds super event-like!
Hop BroExactly. The key point this time is that everything will be served on draft. Since you can drink it fresh from the keg instead of from bottles or cans, the aroma and mouthfeel come through more clearly.
MugiWhoa, but Topsy Choco Orange already sounds like way too much information. Is it chocolate? Is it orange? Wait, is it a dessert?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Since it’s a dessert stout, it seems to layer chocolate and orange impressions onto the richness of a dark beer, so it could work well as a drink after a meal.
MugiWhat is that! Sweet but bitter? My brain is confused, but I want to drink it! And there’s even NZ Pilsner too. Pilsner is supposed to be the lighter, crisper kind, right?
Hop BroYeah, pilsner is one of the classic crisp styles. When the hop profile stands out, it’s not just light and easy-drinking anymore; the aroma also becomes more noticeable. Comparing NZ and West Coast styles really makes the differences in character stand out.
MugiOhhh! So West Coast Pilsner is sharp and crisp, and Hazy is more soft and fluffy? Just the names alone are making the tasting more fun!
Hop BroExactly. The Hazy citrus IPA is appealing for its citrus character and juiciness, while West Coast styles stand out for their bitterness and clarity, so even within the same IPA family, their personalities are completely different.
MugiAnd the venue is a Filipino food diner, right? Pairing food with beer sounds like a guaranteed win!
Hop BroThat’s right. terrace38 is in Higashi-Senba, Tokushima City, so it’s easy to get to, and since it’s on March 29, it makes you want to clear your schedule. I’d like to have a drink after work too, so Mugi-chan, want to go taste everything together?
MugiI’m in! I can already feel myself falling into the rabbit hole of beer tasting, and now all I can think about is beer!
A TAP TAKE OVER will be held on March 29 at terrace38, a Filipino food diner in Higashi-Senba, Tokushima City. The stars of this event are two popular local breweries, 2nd Story Ale Works and SABURO BREWING. According to the shop owner’s guide, all beers will be served on draft, so the key point is that you can enjoy them in a fresh condition that bottles and cans cannot offer.
Planned Beer Lineup
- Topsy Choco Orange (Dessert Stout)
- NZ Pilsner
- West Coast Pilsner
- Hazy citrus IPA
Looking at the lineup, it brings together styles that cater to a wide range of tastes, from dessert stout to pilsner, hop-forward West Coast styles with a clear edge, and a citrusy Hazy IPA. The selection offers everything from beers that are not too heavy as a drink after a meal to ones that let you fully enjoy aroma and bitterness, making it a fun lineup for side-by-side tasting.
The venue, terrace38, is a beer pub on the first floor of the Kokusai Higashi-Senba 113 Building in Higashi-Senba, Tokushima City. It is easy to access from along the Shinmachi River, and the location also offers a convenient route from the Tokushima Marche site. Since guests can naturally enjoy food and beer pairings inside the shop, it seems like a great fit for an event like a tap takeover.
The event will be held on Sunday, March 29, from 9:00 to 20:00. It looks like a great opportunity not only for people who follow Tokushima’s craft beer scene, but also for those who do not often do side-by-side tastings, to experience the individuality of local breweries all at once.
