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…

Craft Beer and Whisky Bar Stone
Today, a brief entry on Stone in Asagaya. Brief, because it doesn’t really have much of a focus on Japanese beers, but an entry all the same, as it is a great place to go and have a nice beer. Stone’s focus is hoppy beers, and unsurprisingly this means it is skewed towards US imports…
The Aldgate
Happy New Year, and here is my first post of 2014, although it actually relates to a visit I made in 2013. Today, a place that I initially had reservations about, for reasons I will explain below, but which is definitely worthy of a place on this blog. The Aldgate in Shibuya is something of…
Devil Craft Hamamatsucho
Another post, and another new branch of a famous Tokyo beer name. This time it is Devil Craft that have expanded by opening a new site in Hamamatsucho. This is an area I haven’t been to much before. In fact, I think only once to go to the sake PR centre to give myself a…
Thrash Zone
Today, a place that probably should have been on here already by now. No trip to Yokohama would be complete without finishing off the day with a quick pint or two or three at Thrash Zone near Yokohama station. My excuse for not writing about it yet is due to my inability to take a…
Craft Beer Market – Toranomon
Today, somewhere I have been a few times but always forgot to take a photo. My new tactic should be take the photos on the way in. That way they may be less blurred and I hopefully won’t forget to do it. However, when you are thirsty, this doesn’t always seem like a priority. This…
Baird Nakameguro Taproom
March is Lucky 7 Stout month at Baird taprooms. Given that I am a sucker for a stamp rally I thought it was time to revisit the Nakameguro Baird and start getting my stamps. Details on Lucky 7 Stout month can be found here. If you get cracking straight away you might be able to…
Baird Harajuku Taproom
Today, one of the first Ji-Biru bars I went to in Japan, initially when I was over on holiday a couple of times, and now living here. Baird have four Taprooms dotted around Japan, two of which are in Tokyo, and one in Yokohama and one in the brewery’s home town, Numazu . Have yet…
Craft Beer Bar iBrew
Another place that has opened during the recent explosion of good beer places in Tokyo. iBrew’s big selling point is their very low prices. However, that’s not the only reason to go there. The food is pretty good too, a mix of Japanese and international stuff, and once again at good prices. It’s a very…
Devil Craft Kanda
Devil Craft is multi-floored craft beer bar with added pizza, not far from Kanda station. What with Kura Kura and St. Bernardus, Kanda is becoming a good place to drink good beer. The place is run by three American friends and you can always be sure of there being someone who can speak English working…
