Post by James Vector Beer Vector Beer is close to Shinjuku Gyoenmae and pretty close to Shinjuku Sanchome. It has a system which is very similar to Craft Beer Market, i.e. there is a charge to get in (¥350) but the beer is cheap (¥450 for a glass and ¥750 for a US pint). Tax…
I recently realised that I don’t have many of the Delirium locations on here so I guess I should probably remedy that soon. First on the list for me to visit was the most recently opened one and I think the one with the most taps. Like many of the other branches, it’s not in…
Post by Mothy The other day I took a trip to Gotanda and made a stop at Craftsman. It’s a short walk from the station, so if you are in the area it’s a convenient place for a beer. Though they seem to be more on the side of a restaurant that serves beer rather…
This post used to be a joint post with another Craft Beer Market. Check the other one out here if you are interested. The points that both have in common appear in both posts. Today, part one on two fairly new Craft Beer Markets (click here for all of the CBM posts in one place),…
The last of my three stops on Sunday, the possibly amusingly named Wiz is another pretty new place. Looks like the rush of openings is still going strong. Perhaps it was the location, but before I went I felt like it had a Craft Beer Market feel to it. In other words, lots of taps,…
Another week, another new Craft Beer Market. An exaggeration of course, but it does seem like they are expanding fast. This time the location is slightly different; the fancy new shopping centre Coredo 3 in Mitsukoshimae. This post will be pretty short, as the concept is the same in all of the CBM bars. I…
So, BrewDog have arrived in Japan. Although to be honest, they were around quite a lot beforehand anyway, but now they have their own bar located in the heart of Tokyo’s foreigner’s playground, Roppongi. BrewDog have long been a divisive ‘marmite’ type of company (probably not a good reference for anyone who is not British,…
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…
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…
