Reverb is the newly opened bar, (and at some stage in the future brewpub), of the people behind Novel Craft in Chitose Karasuyama. I say at some stage as more often than not the time between opening the bar and actually getting the brewery going seems to extend to an unbelievable length (here’s looking at…
Crowd was our final stop on our mini eastern Tokyo pub crawl. In spite of it being near a station with a similar name, it’s not that close to Keisei Koiwa Craft Saketen. It was about a 20 minute walk and then one stop on the train from Koiwa to Shin Koiwa. So I guess…
It’s been a while since I went to any new places so I thought I’d take a trip to Kichijoji, go to some record shops and cross a couple of beer places off the list. Today’s post is on a place that is unsurprisingly pretty similar to a place I’ve already posted about on here….
Quick post today on another ‘Delirium’ place, although the Delirium part of the name seems to have been getting phased out a bit recently. The Sendai Delirium became a Butcher Republic. Nothing much changed as far as I could tell. Apart from the name. Perhaps this has happened to other branches but it’s fair to…
Let me start this post with an apology. Sorry this post isn’t very good. Firstly, the photo isn’t a good one but that’s not entirely my fault. There was some construction going on when I visited. Best look out for those distinctive doors to find this place. Secondly, I probably should have made some better…
Heading down to the opening night of Yggdrasil Brewing (blog post to follow soon, I’m giving them a little time to get going before I write anything), I popped into to a couple of places in Chigasaki that I’ve been meaning to visit for a long time (a phrase that is becoming something of a…
[Quick update, they are now brewing their own beer under the name Kakegawa Farm Brewing. The brewery is quite close to this place and they seem to have a few of their own beers on so I’m also marking this as a brewery tap now. Check the facebook page for details] Today, a brief post…
Cluster is a beer bar with a bottle shop quite near Kashiwa station out in Chiba. This post has now been updated to reflect the new location, which is on the first floor of the Family shopping centre, right in front of the station. It presumably still has its own dedicated group of regulars which…
FYI, this place has opened on the site of the former Cafe Hoegaarden. I have kept the original post by James below if you are interested in reading that. 2017 seems to be shaping up to be the year of new taprooms in Tokyo. Not long after the opening of the new Mikkeller bar in…
[To see all the Sendai posts on this blog, click here] A new football season means that I am revisiting cities and consequently getting to some new places that I either missed last time, or passed over. I was torn about adding this place, as it was by no means mind blowing, but in the…
