Even though it has been open for quite a while, until now I’ve failed to get to Bay Brewing’s Totsuka branch. This is in part due to the fact that I don’t get to Yokohama particularly often and every time I do, there are so many new places that have opened, and they are a…
With three places in totally different parts of the prefecture on here having proper write ups, I thought that visiting a new brewery in Ibaraki would give me a good opportunity to finally start a round up post. (Which doesn’t completely make sense, but it’s much easier to do digest posts for non Tokyo places,…
Caliquors Tokyo West is the sister bar of similarly named Caliquors Tokyo in Kanda, but this time it’s in Chitose Funabashi, about three minutes from the station. I really like the Kanda branch so I was quite pleased to hear that a new branch had opened about the same distance from my place in the…
I was slightly disappointed when I went to add a new place to my Gifu round up and found that I hadn’t bothered making a Gifu round up. Last time we were here it was Yell Ale or nowhere in Gifu city. Now there seems to be a lot of new(ish) places, but we were…
Today, a place I probably thought I would never make it to. Kawaguchi isn’t very far from Tokyo, but at the same time, it wasn’t really on my list of places to go. From my very limited experience of going there, it seemed like quite a nice place, so more fool me for not putting…
UPDATE: Inabaku seems to have closed and has been taken over by Beerdock, who I guess are brewing beers on site now. I’m really not sure about any of these details though, so will go back and update when I have. For now, I’ll leave the old write up below to at least give you…
Today we have a moderately new brewery in Kawasaki, not too far from Mizonokuchi station but actually closer to Takatsu. (I was going to say newly opened, but they were celebrating their first anniversary when we visited… Clearly I don’t get to new places as quickly as I used to). I’d heard mixed things about…
Today a place that I was going to save and add to the next digest post, but maybe feels like it deserves a post of its own. There’s not a great deal to say though, so it will be very brief and all condensed into one paragraph. Maybe this is a good way to go…
Today we visit the first iBrew bar outside of Tokyo. Some people have long been calling for an iBrew in Yokohama and their dream has now come true. I visited the bar on the first Saturday it was open as I had a football match in Yokohama later that afternoon. The match was terrible so…
Golden Week and two football away games gave us the excuse to take an extremely indirect route back home from Fukuoka via Kyoto, visiting plenty of Shimane places on the way. We crossed into Tottori briefly, but the place we went to there was a Belgian beer bar, and having visited no other places, it…
