Back to Satellite shops, and this will for the time being, be a very small post, as at the moment this is the only Satellite Shop I have found in the Shinjuku area. As ever, if you know of any more in the area, please let me know on tokyobeerdrinker@gmail.com and I’ll visit and add…
Happy New Year, and here is my first post of 2014, although it actually relates to a visit I made in 2013. Today, a place that I initially had reservations about, for reasons I will explain below, but which is definitely worthy of a place on this blog. The Aldgate in Shibuya is something of…
NOW CLOSED THIS PLACE, ONCE HACHI, IS NOW CUT LET ME. FROM THE PHOTOS ON THE INTERNET, IT LOOKS LIKE ONLY THE FOOD CONCEPT HAS CHANGED, BUT TAKE ALL OF THE INFORMATION BELOW WITH A GRAIN OF SALT AS IT COULD BE TOTALLY WRONG NOW. I’VE UPDATED THE OPENING HOURS AND OF COURSE THE PICTURE…
Just a short post to mention the upcoming Tokyo release party for this excellent new Japanese beer book. The release party will be held at the Baird Nakameguro Taproom on December 6th from 7pm and there will be a selection of special guest beers on to mark the occasion. And more importantly you will be…
THIS BAR IS NOW CLOSED. I HAVE LEFT THE POST HERE FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES, BUT DON’T TRY TO GO THERE! IT’S SHUT. Today, one of the first craft beer places I went to in Tokyo after I arrived here, but somewhere I haven’t managed to get back to since then. A couple of weeks after…
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED Today Bamboo, in a rarely visited (at least for me) area of Shinjuku. Bamboo has been on my list of places to go for a while, but I have only just managed to get there. Bamboo doesn’t have the biggest selection in Tokyo, but what it lacks in variety,…
THIS BAR IS NOW CLOSED. I HAVE LEFT THE POST HERE FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES, BUT DON’T TRY TO GO THERE! IT’S SHUT. This was supposed to be the first of a new set of posts, intended for places that don’t have a massive beer selection, or don’t really have so many Japanese beers, but are…
Today, the interestingly named Craft Beer Server Land. I have passed through Iidabashi quite a few times but have never got off here, so I was in uncharted territory. From looking at the review on Craft Beer Tokyo there was one thing that immediately jumped out at me. The prices and sizes are exactly the…
Another post, and another new branch of a famous Tokyo beer name. This time it is Devil Craft that have expanded by opening a new site in Hamamatsucho. This is an area I haven’t been to much before. In fact, I think only once to go to the sake PR centre to give myself a…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED BUT THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF OTHER CRAFT BEER MARKETS. YOU CAN SEE THEM BY CLICKING THE CRAFT BEER MARKET TAG OR BY CLICKING THE LINK IN THE THIRD LINE OF THE THIS POST Today, what should be a relatively short post. On Thursday, Craft Beer Market opened their third…
