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…
East Tokyo brewpub adventure part 1 (Part 2 here, part 3 here and part 4 here) It’s maybe a little bit late, but I feel like I’m starting 2026 at breakneck speed. After adding a couple of Hatagaya places last week, a free evening when I was kind towards the east of Tokyo presented the…
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…
I’ve been meaning to visit Senne for a while but was slightly nervous due to it looking like a kind of classy food focused place. People who know me will know that I don’t fit into either of those categories. Senne is run by the people who were behind Dig The Line Doors (which was…
Today a place I briefly popped in to on the day they launched their first beers. I was intending to stay a bit longer but ended up getting slightly waylaid en route and in the end only had time for a couple of halves. Maybe this was a good thing for them as they seemed…
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…
I have to say, it’s been a long time for me between Craft Beer Server Land visits. A very long time. My main memory from the Kagurazaka branch is that I quite enjoyed going there in those days when there weren’t many bars around. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they’d opened a branch…
Yup! is somewhere that I have walked past many times, always intending to pop in at some stage but never actually doing so. That is until now. Finally I’ve managed to have a beer there. Here’s what you need to know (sorry, this is all quite brief). I have to say, I’m pleased I finally…
Bit of a weird one this. I wasn’t sure whether to give it a full write up or not, but I’ve decided I might as well, given that I have now visited. In the long tradition of new breweries in Tokyo, they have opened but are not brewing yet. This wasn’t really that clear until…
