East Tokyo brewpub adventure part 4 (Part 1 here, part 2 here and part 3 here) I initially had only planned to visit three brewpubs as I didn’t want to overdo it and didn’t want to spend all of my monthly money in one night out and rule out any more places being added to…
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…
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…
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…
Stop number four on my Chuo line pub crawl and there was something of a feeling that I was building towards the highlight of the day. I’m pleased to say that Sakamichi didn’t let me down and was a really nice place to have some really nice beers. I’m getting old and I’m perpetually skint,…
Today, a newly opened place in Kamakura, and this time it actually is newly opened, being only a couple of weeks old when I visited. Yorocco Beer Pub Sasame Za is the new taproom for the Yorocco brewery. Until now, if you wanted to drink plenty of Yorocco beers on tap in the same place…
It’s taken me a while but I’ve finally made it to the new Mikkeller bar, just over the other side of the Yamanote line from the Dogenzaka branch. Distance wise, it’s not at all far, but when you compare the two neighbourhoods it feels like it could be a lot further. Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar is on…
If you’ve ever been to a Devil Craft bar, you’ll probably only be skimming this post to find out what’s different about their Jiyugaoka branch. Or probably more likely you’ll have already been here as this place has been open a while and I’ve only just got round to visiting. Given that their first three…
You wait months for a Beer Scissors post to come along and then suddenly two turn up, one right after the other. The 2nd Story tap takeover was split over the two branches of Scissors and after a fun time at the Ikejiri branch we decided we should probably hoover up the other five taps…
Tokaido Beer opened maybe a couple of years ago not far from Kawasaki station. I’ve had their beers a few times at festivals and also got hold of the special beer they made for local football team Kawasaki Frontale. Normally their beers tend to be quite herbal and spicy and somewhat in a Belgian style….
