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…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED (Prices update, October 2014: Thanks to Tim M. for alerting me to the change in prices. It seems that the beer selection has shifted away from Japanese stuff and more towards imports. The prices consequently seem to have increased considerably. Beers are now individually priced, which makes sense when you…
Ikebukuro is a place I have never had much luck with beer. There are a few places that I have been wanting to check out here for a long time, but events always conspire to frustrate my efforts. Admittedly, making a reservation would normally be enough to sort this out and fairly easy, but yesterday…
Today, a neighbourhood bar not so far out of central Tokyo. The name of this place has always appealed to me, and I finally found myself in the area, so I thought it was time for a visit. Once again a local neighbourhood has its own beer bar. Still nothing in Yoyogi Uehara… Lush Life…
Today, somewhere I have been a few times but always forgot to take a photo. My new tactic should be take the photos on the way in. That way they may be less blurred and I hopefully won’t forget to do it. However, when you are thirsty, this doesn’t always seem like a priority. This…
