Today we visit Akita on my mission to cover loads of places all over Japan in a slapdash manner. To be fair though, I’ve been to Akita a couple of time so I at least have the experience of a repeat visit. If you think of Akita city, Aqula is probably the first beer thing…
Today we’re moving on to Miyagi. There is a slight problem though in that I have already done posts for places in Sendai which is in Miyagi. Rather than delete and repost or move stuff around, I’m just going to list those places on here with links to the other blog posts. Hope that’s not…
Given that there’s not a great deal of opportunity to go to new bars at the moment with our ever extending and increasingly ineffective state of emergency (29 weeks out of 33 so far this year, fact fans), I thought that I might do some round up posts of places out of Tokyo that are…
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS PRIMORDIAL) Post by Mothy So, I had the chance to check out AQUWA (not sure why all caps) Brew Works. I had gone to Primordial a number of times so I found the place easy and nothing much had changed visually. A different name in front, but same color scheme to…
A quick post today on a brewery that can be visited at certain limited times. So far, so tricky. Also, it’s not easy to get to! But it was a lot of fun so I thought it merited a mention on here. Given the limitations when it comes to opening times and accessibility I’m…
Post by James Inkhorn Brewing and Tasting Room opened in Mejiro quite recently. The bilingual owner’s first experience of brewing was in Oregon and this place definitely has a unique feel to it. I believe Inkhorn is the first brewery in Toshima-ku to get a beer brewing license. As you can see from the photo,…
Thanks to a recent sponsorship deal I’m pleased to announce that the next few hundred blog posts on here will be about the marvelous craft beer heavens that are 7-11s… Only joking. I would never accept sponsorship as my impartiality is not purchasable at any price. Well maybe I’d sell all of this out for…
Post by James Grau Craft Beer Bar has just opened about 9 minutes from Fujimino station. For anyone who’s never heard of Fujimino, it is about 30 minutes from Ikebukuro on the Tobu Tojo line. A bit of a trek for most people. The bar looks good both inside and out. The street in…
Today, the last post from my Shibuya Beer Party 2021 expeditions and it’s somewhere that I have walked past on numerous occasions but never considered going into. Gau’s is quite near Cidernaut and slightly hidden away on the 2nd floor. But as there’s plenty of bright signage it’s probably hard to miss it. In the…
Today another place visited in pursuit of the Shibuya Beer Party 2021 stamp rally prize. And to be honest it’s a place I had never really thought about visiting before. It was a really pleasant surprise though! Near Kita-sando station in between Shibuya and Shinjuku is a bit of a dry area on this blog…
