Given that we needed to change trains at Shonandai to get home after Yumegaoka Sunday Brewing, it seemed natural to give the interestingly named Rraap Brewery a go too. It’s not too far from the station exit and looked kind of intriguing when I added it to a digest post a while ago. After visiting…
When I tell you why I finally got round to visiting the area that this place and the following place were in, you might start to doubt my dedication to providing… hang on how did I describe it again… a ‘by no means comprehensive guide to bars that serve nice beer in the Tokyo area’….
I’d heard a few things about Rikri which made me keen to pay them a visit. Also, when checking their Instagram there seemed to be plenty on there to make me feel quite optimistic about what I’d find when I did visit. Given that there were some holidays coming up which basically massively extended the…
After School has been intriguing me for a while. The concept, a brewery in a former school building, is a unique one as far as I know. But I guess there is some history in Japan for former schools being adapted for different kinds of uses. Along with the brewery in the school building there…
A quick post today on somewhere than I have had on my list of places to go to, but I probably realistically didn’t imagine I’d get to this soon. Ushiku Brewing’s taproom Grains and Grapes is about ten minutes walk from Ushiku station in the other direction from where Chateau Kamiya used to be. (Well…
Today a quick post on a place which looks quite appealing to me, but which I have failed to use in the way I wanted to on a few occasions. This may sound kind of mysterious but the truth is more mundane. Namely, every time I’ve visited it’s been quite busy, so instead of being…
Post by Mothy Gecko Beer is a small brewery with a taproom in Saitama near Yono Station. They started brewing this summer after first opening their taproom last year. I first visited their taproom last year before they had begun releasing their own beer (though they did have a couple of collaborations with other breweries,…
Today, a couple of places I visited on a short jaunt out of Tokyo, past Yokohama to Ofuna. It’s been a while since I went to Yorocco’s Kamakura taproom, which is something of a surprise as it’s somewhere I really enjoyed. So when I heard they’d opened somewhere in Ofuna which is a touch closer…
No Beer joins the club of slightly strangely named bars on this site. Much like Why Beer? in Yoyogi Uehara, it almost seems like they are trying to put you off visiting. After visiting, I can confirm that they do in fact serve beer and they have a decent variety of them available. Here’s what…
Sorry, it’s been a while since I’ve added anywhere to this site. Will hopefully improve on that front soon and add a whole load of new places that are currently on my ‘to visit’ list. But in the meantime, here’s a post on a place that you might not be travelling specifically to visit, (although…
