This place seems to have moved. The new address and links are the ones below, but the picture and details are for the previous place. I’m guessing the basics are at least similar A brief post today to get me back in the mood for adding to this blog as it has been tough to…
Firstly, sorry for the lack of posts recently. I was on holiday and since coming back have been too busy to make it to any new places. Actually, too busy to make it to any bars at all really.Secondly, a very short post to inform you that it’s coming up to Keyaki time again. This…
Today, a place a bit out of Tokyo and not open so often. So far, so inconvenient (for me anyway). However, Beach Muffin could be my dream come true in a few ways. I had been meaning to go here for a while but hadn’t quite managed it. Beach Muffin is the tap room for…
Another station beer shop. Once again, inside the barriers, this time at Akihabara. I will keep this reasonably brief as there’s not a great deal to say! Thanks to Phil for the tip. Check out his blog Kansai Beer Lovers. Seems like there is also one of these at Ueno, but I haven’t been there…
Just a quick post to remind you that the Spring version of Keyaki is happening next week from Thursday 29th May to Sunday 1st June. Once again there will be a huge amount of interesting Japanese craft beer to drink with brewers from all over the country, as well as a few imports. As it…
Back to Yokohama today, and to Bay Brewing. This is somewhere I have been a couple of times before and is an important part of the Yokohama drinking scene. It’s a pretty small brewpub that (obviously) serves their own beers alongside some other Japanese craft stuff. The brewer and main man of Bay Brewing used…
So, here it is. A momentous day. I have been complaining on this blog for a long time that there were no good beer places in Uehara, and now Swan Lake have opened their second Pub Edo pretty close to the station (you can read what I thought of the initial Pub Edo near Tokyo…
Another week, another new Craft Beer Market. An exaggeration of course, but it does seem like they are expanding fast. This time the location is slightly different; the fancy new shopping centre Coredo 3 in Mitsukoshimae. This post will be pretty short, as the concept is the same in all of the CBM bars. I…
Today, another journey out of Tokyo, this time to Utsunomiya in Tochigi. On my previous visit to Utsunomiya, I visited the Tochigi microbrewery, home to some interesting and varied beers. However, now Utsunomiya is no longer a one bar city. Blue Magic opened late last year (I think) and is the home of the soon…
THIS PLACE IS NOW PART OF THE BEER KOBO CHAIN. NOT SURE WHAT THIS WILL MEAN WITH REGARDS TO THE BEER OR PRICES OR ANYTHING REALLY. GUESS THE SIGNS WILL CHANGE TOO. UNTIL I GET THERE, I’M LEAVING THIS POST AS IT IS, BUT I’M GUESSING IT WILL BE A BIT DIFFERENT Today a relatively…
