The third and final stop on my brief Tachikawa brewery crawl was a bit of a surprise. After visiting Tachihi and then going to Vertere, I was doing a bit of preparation for my planned next stop at Sakamichi when I visited their website and discovered the existence of a mysterious new(ish) place called Sakamichi…
My second stop on my mini Tachikawa taprooms tour was the new Vertere taproom, situated just round the corner from the original Sakamichi brewery and taproom. I don’t know what’s happening with Vertere but they seem to be expanding quickly at the moment. Hot on the heels of their Eifuku taproom, we now have a…
I’m not sure if I’m just really slow on the uptake recently but Tachihi Brewery seemed to come out of nowhere for me. I guess I’m not going to beer festivals as much as I used to, and at the same time am perhaps not paying as much attention to the beer scene as you’d…
This is something of a rarity. I’ve been quite quick off the mark when it comes to visiting and writing about this place. Well, if you count within six months of opening as quite quick off the mark. But writing this has made me aware of the fact that Vertere are opening a new taproom…
This place recently appeared on my radar when a friend of mine checked in to one of their beers on Untappd. The name was kind of intriguing but until now I hadn’t managed to visit. It’s been open a little while, (almost a year), but I suppose in the usual glacial Tokyo Beer Drinker scheme…
Buso Brewery is a fairly recently opened brewpub situated right next to the Odakyu line station in Machida. The brewery also seems to go under the name of Kawasemi Brew. Perhaps Kawasemi will be opening other brew pubs in the future. Further muddying the water is the fact that in their Instagram bio it says…
On a recent trip to Hachioji I realised that I was quite close to somewhere that has been on my ‘to go to’ list for a long time. I was always curious about the name of this place and recently when I heard some good things about it, I decided that I should finally give…
Takao Brewing have recently opened a new taproom that is a bit easier to get to than their previous location. I have long been interested in visiting them as you don’t really see their beers around much, (at least not where I am looking, I guess). So the fact that their new place is very…
I feel like I’ve mentioned my love of Prost on a few occasions on here so it will come as no surprise that I recently found myself out in Hachioji again. I was slightly surprised to find that there was somewhere on my map of places to go that was extremely near to Prost that…
Finally I’ve made it to Our Days. I feel a bit bad as I am kind of close to it every week when I go to Gremlin, but until now have never made it here. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the experience so it definitely won’t be the last time I visit. It’s located…
