THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED SO DON’T TRY TO GO THERE! This post will be a bit of a weird one as I have had this on my list to visit for a while as I had heard great things about it. In the meantime, one of my generous helpers, popped in there and sent…

NOW CLOSED – MAYBE REOPENING IN A NEW LOCATION SOME TIME Post by Mothy There was a time I would go to Craft Beer Baby in Urawa 2-3 times a week. Then I had a kid and that number fell to once a week. Then, in December, they closed and it fell to once a…

THIS PLACE IS NOW CLOSED (This post was originally on three different places. They have now been split into individual posts. Click the links for part 1 and part 3) Bookshop/bar combination located very close to both of the central Hamamastu stations. Nice atmosphere and friendly clientele and staff.

THIS POP UP IS NOW CLOSED. NEW BAR IN SHIBUYA COMING SOON! Just a quick post today on the new Mikkeller pop-up in Daikanyama. You may notice that there are more photos and that they are of a higher standard than usual. That’s because I forgot to take one and had to ask Hamilton to…

THIS PLACE HAS NOW MOVED TO YOYOGI HACHIMAN. POST ON THE NEW PLACE TO FOLLOW SOON Today we are venturing into territory where there is not much in the way of craft beer. Given that Umegaoka is on the Odakyu line, it’s really easy for me to get here, so consequently it was somewhere that…
