I visited Three Arrows quite a while ago, shortly after it opened, but somehow failed to write it up till now. With that in mind, it’s all a bit hazy, and I can’t vouch that everything on here will be correct, but I’ve checked as many things as possible and when I make it back…
East Tokyo brewpub adventure part 2 (Part 1 here, part 3 here and part 4 here) The second stop on my east Tokyo brewpub crawl was Beer Vista, not far from Kiyosumi Shirakawa station. The contrast between Beer Vista and Pherment was quite stark! In fact maybe I could just say that if you just…
I know I am always talking about how slow I am off the mark when it comes to visiting new places for this site. In this case I have really exceeded myself. I never made it to this place when it was the Nakameguro Beer Boy, and have now only just made it to this…
I have to say, it’s been a long time for me between Craft Beer Server Land visits. A very long time. My main memory from the Kagurazaka branch is that I quite enjoyed going there in those days when there weren’t many bars around. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they’d opened a branch…
Two recent jaunts to Yokohama for football meant that I could finally go to this new, (to me), Bay Brewing place very near Yokohama station. Situated on the second floor of a shopping centre (Yokohama Front) quite close to the north west exit of the station, this is a very convenient spot to get some…
My second stop on my mini Tachikawa taprooms tour was the new Vertere taproom, situated just round the corner from the original Sakamichi brewery and taproom. I don’t know what’s happening with Vertere but they seem to be expanding quickly at the moment. Hot on the heels of their Eifuku taproom, we now have a…
This is something of a rarity. I’ve been quite quick off the mark when it comes to visiting and writing about this place. Well, if you count within six months of opening as quite quick off the mark. But writing this has made me aware of the fact that Vertere are opening a new taproom…
Today, a reasonably new place in Mitaka not far from Beer Shop Llama, but offering a different kind of experience. The interestingly named Neko To Azarashi, (Cat and Seal, if you want to translate it), offers Japanese craft beer and food in a bright and airy atmosphere. Here’s what you need to know: This was…
Written by James The sign above the shop name says all you need to know, “Craft Beer & Italian”. That’s exactly what Brew Lounge Ichigaya offers. The layout is interesting and a bit unusual. There are five seats at a counter by the door, so it’s easy to come here on your own. There are…
My ongoing project saw me head west again and this time it was to Hachioji, another place I’d never been before, but one which I had of course heard of. Part of the reason for this is perhaps because of Prost, which has been around for quite a while now. I think they recently celebrated…
