TAP & TUMBLER Ebisu Updated to 14 Taps Centered on The Veil Brewing Co.
At TAP & TUMBLER (Tap and Tumbler) in Ebisu, Tokyo, a 14-tap lineup centered on The Veil Brewing Co., along with Kyoto Brewing, Yellow Beer Works, Nomcraft Brewing, and others, was confirmed. With a self-serve system, you can enjoy beer in the distinctive way that draft-by-weight pouring allows.
Hop BroTAP & TUMBLER in Ebisu is now on a 14-tap lineup centered on The Veil Brewing Co., and the selection is pretty aggressive.
MugiWhoa! With 14 taps, I'd be so overwhelmed I'd probably just spin in circles and fall over!
Hop BroAnd it's not just any tap bar either - it's a self-serve POUR card system, so the fun is pouring your own beer and enjoying it by weight.
MugiWhat! Pouring your own beer like that - doesn't the foam go wild?
Hop BroThat's the clever part: they adjust the CO2+N2 ratio for each beer style, so they can change the foam and mouthfeel.
MugiWait, CO2 and N2 as in the gases? Changing the personality of the foam suddenly sounds like a science class!
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, higher carbonation makes it crisp, while nitrogen makes it smoother. And Tap 1 has a DRINK ME comparison lined up, so it's easy to compare the hop character between the Yellow Beer Works version and the Kyoto Brewing version.
MugiNice! A comparison of beers with the same name is basically a treasure hunt for craft beer fans!
Hop BroAnd the stars aren't just IPAs - along with The Veil's Nerve Endings and Herd, they also have Nomcraft Brewing's NOMCLASSIC Irish Stout and Flora Fermentation's Raven.
MugiWhat! Being able to follow everything from IPA to stout in one place is pretty indulgent, and I love it!
Hop BroIt's also only a 2-minute walk from Ebisu Station, and since outside food is welcome, it's easy to linger while sampling different kegs little by little.
MugiThen let's compare small pours today, and finish with one more drink while we bring snacks!
Hop BroSounds good - this is dangerous in Ebisu. If we keep working through the kegs one by one, before we know it, both of us will be fully in the mood to keep drinking.
The Current 14-Tap Lineup
TAP & TUMBLER Ebisu is a craft beer by-the-weight shop about a 2-minute walk from Ebisu Station. It also offers standing drink service inside the shop, and its defining feature is a self-service style where you pour your own beer using a POUR card. Because the CO2+N2 ratio is adjusted by beer style, it is easy to enjoy differences in foam and mouthfeel even at the same bar.
The ON TAP MENU confirmed this time showed a lineup in which The Veil Brewing Co.'s IPA range firmly anchored the list, while domestic breweries were also represented broadly. In particular, Tap 1 pairing Yellow Beer Works' "DRINK ME ~WEST COAST PILSNER Ver.~" with Kyoto Brewing's "DRINK ME!" makes it easy to compare differences in hop character.
The main lineup includes The Veil Brewing Co.'s "Nerve Endings," "IdontwanttoBU!³: Enhanced," "Herd," "J.O.Y.," "whiteferrari," "Merciless Merciless," and "Demon," as well as HUMANSBEER's "GUAVA&MANGO," Passific Brewing's "Oh Teacher The Pool," GROUNDTAP BREWERY's "AKAMOGURA," Nomcraft Brewing's "NOMCLASSIC Irish Stout," and Flora Fermentation's "Raven." Not only does it have depth in IPAs, but it also features fruit beer, Japanese rice lager, Irish red, and dry stout, making it interesting as a place where you can follow a wide range of styles in a single stop.
The Shop's Appeal
The interior is set up with a counter, standing tables, and benches, making it easy to accommodate everything from a quick drink to groups. The shop does not serve food, but outside food is welcome, which makes it convenient to build your plans around the beers you want to drink. It is a good spot for days when you want to spend time in Ebisu sampling a few kegs that catch your eye, little by little.
