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’….
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…
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…
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 4 (Part 1 here, part 2 here and part 3 here) I initially had only planned to visit three brewpubs as I didn’t want to overdo it and didn’t want to spend all of my monthly money in one night out and rule out any more places being added to…
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…
After visiting Senne, it only felt right to tick off the other nearby craft beer place that I’d never visited. Loom had a very different feeling to Senne and if you combine those two places with Gremlin, you probably have something for every craft beer drinker in Hatagaya. Here’s what you need to know about…
As part of my ongoing quest to find new and interesting places to drink that are a bit off the beaten track, I discovered the Bierernst brewery. I’d never heard of it before so was quite intrigued and WAS even more so when I checked the kind of beers that they were making. Finding myself…
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…
