I’ve been losing touch recently with all the new places that are opening. Keeping this blog completely up to date would require a lot of time, a lot of money and a lot of health. To be honest, I’m probably lacking in all three of these. Therefore, now I have to rely on tips from…
I recently found myself back in Nagoya for football and took the opportunity to visit a new place to put on here. Brick Lane probably makes most Brits think of the East End of London and curry, but this is a different kind of Brick Lane which focuses on burgers and, for the most part,…
[Quick update, they are now brewing their own beer under the name Kakegawa Farm Brewing. The brewery is quite close to this place and they seem to have a few of their own beers on so I’m also marking this as a brewery tap now. Check the facebook page for details] Today, a brief post…
Another day, another new brewery! Although once again, I visited before the place actually started brewing. ‘And Beer’, or ‘& Beer’, or ‘アンドビール’, take your pick, is situated in a nice new building almost smack between Asagaya and Koenji stations. Brewing is due to start sometime around March. Here’s what you need to know. –…
Cluster is a beer bar with a bottle shop quite near Kashiwa station out in Chiba. This post has now been updated to reflect the new location, which is on the first floor of the Family shopping centre, right in front of the station. It presumably still has its own dedicated group of regulars which…
Brewin’ Bar Monde is a place that has been open for quite a while but has gone under the radar of most beer lovers it seems. However, it has recently caught the attention of a few people, including myself, because it has started brewing. Brewpubs are still a bit of a rarity in Tokyo, and…
[To see all the Sendai posts on this blog, click here] A new football season means that I am revisiting cities and consequently getting to some new places that I either missed last time, or passed over. I was torn about adding this place, as it was by no means mind blowing, but in the…
Today a quick post about another Swan Lake Pub Edo in Tokyo, this time in Tamachi. The deal is pretty much the same as it is in the other Swan Lake places, I have already posted about. You can check the post on the original Pub Edo near Tokyo station here and the Yoyogi Uehara…
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…
It took me a while to finally make it here after my first attempted visit was thwarted by a private party. Living is maybe the closest craft beer place to Yamashita Koen, so isn’t quite in Kannai, bar centre of Yokohama, but is still pretty close in the whole scheme of things. – Bit of…
