A quick post on somewhere that is mainly on here just because it’s in my neighbourhood. I have been going through varying levels of snobbiness/fussiness for what should be on here and what shouldn’t recently. Certainly, it’s a positive thing that we can now be fussy about craft beer places. When I moved here five…
Just a quick post to inform you of some upcoming changes to this blog. In spite of the very generous help I have received from several people (thank you so much, all of you!), the backlog of places to visit and potentially add to the blog is completely out of hand (over 50 places at…
Today a pub which, if it was in London would be a very divisive place, but perhaps doesn’t have the same effect in Japan. Highbury, as you may have guessed, is a British style beer pub with a big Arsenal influence. Although there is definitely still something here for you if you have no interest…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED SO DON’T TRY TO GO THERE! This post will be a bit of a weird one as I have had this on my list to visit for a while as I had heard great things about it. In the meantime, one of my generous helpers, popped in there and sent…
I have been looking forward to visiting Vertere for a while, mainly because of their unique location in the mountains, two hours out of Tokyo, but actually still in Tokyo. I actually didn’t realise until fairly recently that they had now started making their own beer and this, along with a nice Silver Week holiday…
[THIS BAR HAS MOVED, SO I’VE REMOVED THE PICTURE UNTIL I CAN TAKE A NEW ONE AND HAVE CHANGED THE ADDRESS AND MAPS. I’M GUESSING THE REST OF THE DETAILS ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, BUT SORRY IF THEY’RE NOT] I visited Synchronicity ages ago, back in the Spring and was intending to pop in…
It took me a while to finally make it here after my first attempted visit was thwarted by a private party. Living is maybe the closest craft beer place to Yamashita Koen, so isn’t quite in Kannai, bar centre of Yokohama, but is still pretty close in the whole scheme of things. – Bit of…
Today, the first of a few posts that will come in quick succession. The Silver Week holiday has given me an opportunity to tick a few places off the backlog, which incidentally is still totally out of control. There is a bit of a Yokohama theme to a few of these posts so I’ll put…
Post by James Titans is a Taproom and bottle shop that has just opened right next to Otsuka station. It is a collaboration between two beer importers AQ Bevolution and Beer Cats. Titans has three floors. The first floor has the counter and large fridges. There is one small table and standing space. The second…
It’s that time of year again for us to enter the Super Arena and drink to excess. Keyaki is back and as it’s Autumn, it’s inside. I have to say when they first started putting the Autumn festival inside I was a bit disappointed, but I have grown to appreciate it for it’s ample seating…
