(This was initially part of a larger post combining three places in Kichijoji. There are now split into individual entries. Here are part 2 and part 3) I had been meaning to get to Kichijoji for a while as there are a few bars there that I needed to check out. I finally did it…
This post used to be a joint post with another Craft Beer Market. Check the other one out here if you are interested. The points that both have in common appear in both posts. Today, part one on two fairly new Craft Beer Markets (click here for all of the CBM posts in one place),…
The last of my three stops on Sunday, the possibly amusingly named Wiz is another pretty new place. Looks like the rush of openings is still going strong. Perhaps it was the location, but before I went I felt like it had a Craft Beer Market feel to it. In other words, lots of taps,…
Few updates added below as I popped in here today and it seems that what I’ve written on here isn’t very accurate anymore. Quick post on my first stop last Sunday. Yanaka Beer Hall is a fairly new place (I believe) and is a pretty unusual location for a craft beer place. I suspect it…
In order to somehow attempt to save myself from my ever-increasing backlog of places to visit I set out on Sunday afternoon to try a few new spots. Towa was one of these spots. I don’t often find myself in the Ueno area, but looking at the tokyobeerdrinker map it seems that this is an…
I’ve finally made it to Beer Shop Llama so have done a major revamp of this post. Normally in this situation I just update the new part and leave the old bits for reference, but in this case I think it would end up with too much mess, so everything here is about Llama and…
It’s almost Keyaki time again and this time it’s a bumper six day stint, thanks to Silver Week (something I was unaware of until fairly recently, but now I am ready to accept with open arms). As it’s Autumn we are back inside the Saitama Super Arena. There seems to be quite a few new…
Returning from the blog wilderness to post a quick piece about the imminent and expanded Keyaki beer festival in Saitama. I will direct you to most of the details on my previous posts about the festival and just tell you the specifics about this edition.So, it’s Spring so we’re back outside again and therefore it’s…
Pigalle is a European beer bar in Sangenjaya, a little west of Shibuya on the Den-en-toshi line (which incidentally has a reputation of being one of the most crowded lines in Tokyo). A short post as they don’t have much Japanese beer here, but that’s not really the point of the place! – Very small…
Another great bottle shop with a decent selection, in an area not blessed with many options. – Bottle shop in Shimokitazawa with a good selection of Japanese beers and imports at decent prices. – Several fridges full and plenty of Japanese stuff – Lots of US imports from a mix of importers. Nice variety. –…
