Today a brief post on another record shop with nice beer. Small World is located halfway between Pigalle and Awashima Soko. It’s a small place and very much a labour of love. What you can see in the picture above is pretty much all of it. They sell records of an experimental nature and serve…
So, Hitachino Nest/Kiuchi have opened another Tokyo bar. I am a bit of a fan of their first location in Ochanomizu/Akihabara. It’s pleasant to sit outside there next to the river and enjoy a daytime beer. The new place is a bit smaller, but the idea is the same, so it might be worth checking…
A sightly belated post on the new Devil Craft today. I suspect that a lot of you have been there already as they’ve been open a little while now, but I haven’t been able to find the time to visit till now. If you’ve been to one of the other Devil Craft bars you’ll know…
Today a pub which, if it was in London would be a very divisive place, but perhaps doesn’t have the same effect in Japan. Highbury, as you may have guessed, is a British style beer pub with a big Arsenal influence. Although there is definitely still something here for you if you have no interest…
Post by James Titans is a Taproom and bottle shop that has just opened right next to Otsuka station. It is a collaboration between two beer importers AQ Bevolution and Beer Cats. Titans has three floors. The first floor has the counter and large fridges. There is one small table and standing space. The second…
Baird Bashamichi is another place that I’ve been a few times but for some reason have never added. Possibly when I go to Yokohama I get a bit overwhelmed and forget to take pictures and notes. But anyway, here it finally is. As there are significant similarities with the other Baird taprooms, I will concentrate…
(This was originally one post rounding up Sendai, but now it has been split into separate entries. The other places are mentioned in part 1 and part 3) [To see all the Sendai posts on this blog, click here] UPDATE: The old Craft Beer Market in Sendai has closed… but as you can…
A brief post on the latest Craft Beer Market, this time in Otemachi. First, the stuff that I always write about Craft Beer Market branches. It has the usual 30 taps of cheap beer in the usual sizes at the usual prices. Most beers are served in two sizes 250ml (¥480) and 473ml (¥780). Barley…
Today, part three of my loose Belgian trilogy and it’s another Delirium related place. I think I mentioned in the Brasserie Muh post that I hadn’t yet been here, so given that I was kind of close, I thought I’d pop in and get it done. I was expecting great things as De Dolle is…
Please note that this is Kirin’s Craft Beer brewery, so if you are offended by macro beers, this is not the place for you. Post by James As soon as you see this place you are struck by its size and beauty. It seems much too big to be only a few minutes walk from…
