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…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED Another trip out of Tokyo today, and probably a badly timed blog post for reasons I will explain below. Chateau Kamiya in Ushiku, about 50 minutes from Ueno into Ibaraki is a brewery, winery, fake chateau and gardens complex that produces some very easy drinking beers and sells them at…
The last of my brief flurry of Yokohama places (there are more to do, but that will require another trip). Today, it’s the right to the point named Craft Beer Bar. This is another place in easy walking distance of Kannai station. This seems to be a really good area to have a drink or…
Just a quick post today to mention the upcoming Keyaki Autumn beer festival (hope they don’t mind me using their picture above). The Spring version was my first Keyaki and since then I have been excitedly awaiting this edition. The Spring festival was great with loads of great breweries and beers and a really nice…
Yokohama again today, and a place that might now get overlooked because of all the places opening with lots of taps. El Nubichinom is tiny. Standing only with not really much room for more than 7 or 8 people at a push. Situated next to a canal, which sounds very picturesque, but it’s in a…
Today, a place that probably should have been on here already by now. No trip to Yokohama would be complete without finishing off the day with a quick pint or two or three at Thrash Zone near Yokohama station. My excuse for not writing about it yet is due to my inability to take a…
Today, the latest in a chain of Chuo line ‘lots of wood’ brewpubs. It is fair to say they are quite a lot of similarities between this place, Bakushu Kobo in Koenji and Bakushu Dojo in Asagaya. My limited knowledge of the history of these places amounts to the fact that Koenji was first and…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW MOVED TO SHIZUOKA. THERE ARE DETAILS AT THE FACEBOOK PAGE LINKED TO BELOW Finally, a new blog post, after a brief hiatus where I returned to Europe for a little holiday and drank far too much for me to even want to think about beer for a while after returning to…
THIS WAS A ONE SUMMER ONLY THING, SO PLEASE DON’T TRY TO GO THERE NOW. I’LL UPDATE IF THERE IS ANYTHING INTERESTING THERE THIS YEAR. A quick post on what is one of the first craft beer beer gardens that I have seen. As you may be aware, Summer is the season for drinking beer…
Today, a post on Dry Dock, a nautically themed bar in Shinbashi. I have long intended to visit here as I have heard good things about it. Dry Dock has been around for a few years now, making it one of the more established places in Tokyo. I was curious to see how it compared…
