Today a post about a place I stumbled on completely by accident on a recent trip to Nishiogikubo. I’m not sure if this place is at all well known. I can’t recall ever hearing about it but maybe that’s just me being out of touch. It’s funny, as before I went there I was lamenting…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED AS IT IS APPARENTLY MOVING TO SHIMOKITAZAWA. WILL PUT UP A NEW POST ON THAT PLACE WHEN IT HAS OPENED A quick post today to write this place up properly. I’d heard a lot about it and could probably have done a post without visiting from what people have told…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED I have been meaning to try this place for a while as it seemed like an interesting twist on the usual Craft Beer Market concept. The twist is that there are less taps and it’s more like an Izakaya than a CBM. Going to a concert in Kichijoji gave me…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED Another Yokohama place and another brewpub. There definitely seem to be a few more of them popping up recently. I heard that the brewer is a past employee of Yokohama Brewery, so take from that what you want. Being a Yakitori place with craft beer, it’s not exactly right up…
THIS PLACE HAS NOW CLOSED Sorry about the photo… Today a place that I’ve always fancied going to but have been put off by the location and the cost. Fujizakura always seem to make very nice beers and they are a brewery I always head for at Keyaki to try their new seasonals so I…
THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED. APPARENTLY THEY WILL BE OPENING SOMEWHERE ELSE SO I’LL UPDATE WHEN THEY ARE UP AND RUNNING IN A NEW PLACE Today, another new brewery. I’ve been meaning to get here for a while as I was wondering what was going on with the Mile Post. It seemed like it might…
NOW CLOSED Today a post about a bar I have been waiting to visit for a while. First of all, in the interests of full disclosure, I should say that I am friends with the owner who first contacted me through this blog. He has been wanting to open a bar in Tokyo for a…
It’s taken me a while to get here, but I finally did it. A few people had told me that this place was a lot more fun that the Beer Ma bar in Kita Senju. Depending on your point of view though, there are a few disadvantages, the most significant of which is the fact…
Whilst visiting the new Yokosuka Beer standing bar, it seemed like a good idea to pop into another place serving craft beer in the area. Nawlins has been open maybe a couple of years now but I haven’t managed to visit it till now. This is probably due to a combination of it not being…
Post by Iain This one man operation has six counter seats facing the street for people watching, plus ten table seats. There is a ¥200 cover charge and beer-wise, the selection is given as Wheat, IPA, Barley Wine, Extra, Edelpils, but in practice Wheat often translates as a pilsner, and Barley wine might be a…
