THIS BAR IS NOW CLOSED. I HAVE LEFT THE POST HERE FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES, BUT DON’T TRY TO GO THERE! IT’S SHUT. Today, one of the first craft beer places I went to in Tokyo after I arrived here, but somewhere I haven’t managed to get back to since then. A couple of weeks after…
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED Today Bamboo, in a rarely visited (at least for me) area of Shinjuku. Bamboo has been on my list of places to go for a while, but I have only just managed to get there. Bamboo doesn’t have the biggest selection in Tokyo, but what it lacks in variety,…
THIS BAR IS NOW CLOSED. I HAVE LEFT THE POST HERE FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES, BUT DON’T TRY TO GO THERE! IT’S SHUT. This was supposed to be the first of a new set of posts, intended for places that don’t have a massive beer selection, or don’t really have so many Japanese beers, but are…
Today, the interestingly named Craft Beer Server Land. I have passed through Iidabashi quite a few times but have never got off here, so I was in uncharted territory. From looking at the review on Craft Beer Tokyo there was one thing that immediately jumped out at me. The prices and sizes are exactly the…
Another post, and another new branch of a famous Tokyo beer name. This time it is Devil Craft that have expanded by opening a new site in Hamamatsucho. This is an area I haven’t been to much before. In fact, I think only once to go to the sake PR centre to give myself a…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED BUT THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF OTHER CRAFT BEER MARKETS. YOU CAN SEE THEM BY CLICKING THE CRAFT BEER MARKET TAG OR BY CLICKING THE LINK IN THE THIRD LINE OF THE THIS POST Today, what should be a relatively short post. On Thursday, Craft Beer Market opened their third…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED Another trip out of Tokyo today, and probably a badly timed blog post for reasons I will explain below. Chateau Kamiya in Ushiku, about 50 minutes from Ueno into Ibaraki is a brewery, winery, fake chateau and gardens complex that produces some very easy drinking beers and sells them at…
The last of my brief flurry of Yokohama places (there are more to do, but that will require another trip). Today, it’s the right to the point named Craft Beer Bar. This is another place in easy walking distance of Kannai station. This seems to be a really good area to have a drink or…
Just a quick post today to mention the upcoming Keyaki Autumn beer festival (hope they don’t mind me using their picture above). The Spring version was my first Keyaki and since then I have been excitedly awaiting this edition. The Spring festival was great with loads of great breweries and beers and a really nice…
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…
