Today a place that I have been quite looking forward to visiting. In my opinion, Ise Kadoya have grown from being a solid if unspectacular brewery to one of Japan’s best in recent years. They are constantly releasing new beers and they rarely disappoint. So I was excited to hear that they were opening a…
Today, the last of a little run of Yokohama places. Noge West End is just round the corner from El Nubichinom in an ‘interesting’ part of town. It’s a little tricky to find without a photo as their awning has a different name on it, but there is a small sign outside, and I guess,…
This place has now moved, so the info is about the old place and extremely out of date. Sorry! The address and info at the bottom is for the new place though. But the picture isn’t… Another new-ish Yokohama place today, but I should stress that recently my concept of new and new-ish has become…
The first of a quick flurry of Yokohama places today. It would be nice to say that this is a sign that I’ll be updating the blog a lot more in the future, but I suspect that posts will still come in little bursts like this. It has now go to the stage that places…
A quick post on another brewery. It’s not in the most convenient location if you’re traveling by train from Tokyo, unless you’re keen on going via Narita Airport or Mito and really like spending time on your journey. There is a bus from Tokyo station which is much more convenient, but still runs close to…
Today, a post about a place that I’ve been hearing good things about from people who are big US beer fans. Hatos Outside is connected to the BBQ and beer place in Naka Meguro called Hatos Bar. I once tried to go there, as the friend I was with was desperate to try some of…
Today, another place visited whilst on a football away trip. I’ve been here a couple of times before when it was known as True Brew. The concept has changed a little since those visits. It was a great place to stop off on the way to, or on the way back from the Hitachino Nest…
I’ve been losing touch recently with all the new places that are opening. Keeping this blog completely up to date would require a lot of time, a lot of money and a lot of health. To be honest, I’m probably lacking in all three of these. Therefore, now I have to rely on tips from…
A quick post today on another new brewery. There really have been quite a few of them opening recently. Once again, I’ve jumped the gun by going before they have actually started brewing, so will revisit and update this post when they do. (See below, it’s done!). Here’s what you need to know. – Small…
This may just be the fastest turn around ever from visiting somewhere and putting it on here. I finally managed to make it to TDM this lunchtime. It should have been sooner as I’ve been hearing plenty of good things about their beers, but I guess I am still officially on hiatus so I’m going…
