Today, a place that stretches the Tokyo Beer Drinker map in a slightly new direction. Murmur is one of a couple of new breweries that has started fairly recently in Nikko. This seems to make a lot of sense, given that Nikko is jammed full of tourists and if there’s one thing we all know…
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…
Today, continues this little flurry of posts and continues the tale of my increasingly intoxicated journey from Beach Muffin to a football game. It’s another brewpub, but is significantly different from my previous stop, Minami Yokohama Beer Labo. It’s very close to Nokendai station, one stop from Kanazawa Bunko and Minami Yokohama, so it probably…
This is the first of another flurry of posts. Seems I’ve been finally getting round to going to some new places recently! This first one is somewhere that has been on my list for quite a while and perhaps due to its location, have never managed get to. But lunch at Beach Muffin and a…
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…
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…
Kawasaki is a city I am quite familiar with as I work there three days a week and have a spent a great deal of time at the football stadium. There are a few breweries ranging from the fairly well know (Brimmer) via the very local and quite quirky (Moonlight) to the downright confusing (TT)….
Another day, another new brewery! Although once again, I visited before the place actually started brewing. ‘And Beer’, or ‘& Beer’, or ‘アンドビール’, take your pick, is situated in a nice new building almost smack between Asagaya and Koenji stations. Brewing is due to start sometime around March. Here’s what you need to know. –…
Beer Cellar Tokyo is a fairly recently opened, bar, bottle shop and soon to be brewery located in Komae in west Tokyo, not too far from Komae or Kitami stations on the Odakyu line. There seems to be a connection with Beer Cellar Sapporo, at least nominally and thematically. The big difference is that it…
Initially I had decided not to visit Ebina Beer until they started brewing. I had heard that the brewery had been started by a Czech friend of the Nihonkai brewer but at the moment the beers were all Nihonkai. It just so happens that I really like Nihonkai beers though, and despairingly looking at the…
