THIS POP UP IS NOW CLOSED. NEW BAR IN SHIBUYA COMING SOON! Just a quick post today on the new Mikkeller pop-up in Daikanyama. You may notice that there are more photos and that they are of a higher standard than usual. That’s because I forgot to take one and had to ask Hamilton to…

Niigata intermission part 2: Craft Beer Kan (NOW CLOSED)
