Today a quick post about an upcoming beer festival that has got quite a lot of people talking. Mikkeller are bringing their epic Beer Celebration festival to Tokyo for the first time in September and it looks like being something quite different from the beer festivals that we are used to in Japan. I’m not…

Beer Ma Kanda (NOW CLOSED)
Today a post about a fairly new branch for Beer Ma, who up till now have been mainly all about the Kita Senju area of Tokyo, but have now ventured further into the centre. This is great for me, as it feels a lot easier to go to a Kanda bottle shop and bar than…
Tokyo Old Boys Brewing (Formerly Inazuma) NOW CLOSED
This place is now closed with Tokyo Old Boys moving to their new location in Hachioji. You can read about that place here. Today, another relatively new brewpub and, as seems to have been the case recently, one which has actually managed to start brewing. Still waiting for the Watering Hole to do so six…
Beer Bar Fujizakura Roppongi (NOW CLOSED)
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED Sorry about the photo… Today a place that I’ve always fancied going to but have been put off by the location and the cost. Fujizakura always seem to make very nice beers and they are a brewery I always head for at Keyaki to try their new seasonals so I…
Brewery & Restaurant Carvaan
I’ve been losing touch recently with all the new places that are opening. Keeping this blog completely up to date would require a lot of time, a lot of money and a lot of health. To be honest, I’m probably lacking in all three of these. Therefore, now I have to rely on tips from…
Riot Beer
A quick post today on another new brewery. There really have been quite a few of them opening recently. Once again, I’ve jumped the gun by going before they have actually started brewing, so will revisit and update this post when they do. (See below, it’s done!). Here’s what you need to know. – Small…
TDM 1874 Brewery
This may just be the fastest turn around ever from visiting somewhere and putting it on here. I finally managed to make it to TDM this lunchtime. It should have been sooner as I’ve been hearing plenty of good things about their beers, but I guess I am still officially on hiatus so I’m going…
Brief Nagoya intermission, part 4: Beer Pub Brick Lane
I recently found myself back in Nagoya for football and took the opportunity to visit a new place to put on here. Brick Lane probably makes most Brits think of the East End of London and curry, but this is a different kind of Brick Lane which focuses on burgers and, for the most part,…
Regional Produce/Satellite Shops 9: Ginza area
I’ve done Higashi Ginza and Ginza Itchome and now have finally made it to Ginza proper. Ginza Nagano It’s another Nagano place and can’t really compete with Shinshu Sake Mura for all round excellence, but does offer a few breweries and a small drinking section at front (one tap of beer, I think). They had…
Bucket HERE / Kakegawa Farm Brewing
[Quick update, they are now brewing their own beer under the name Kakegawa Farm Brewing. The brewery is quite close to this place and they seem to have a few of their own beers on so I’m also marking this as a brewery tap now. Check the facebook page for details] Today, a brief post…
