Post by James Carbon Brews is a Hong Kong Brewery and this is their Tokyo taproom / bar. All the beers are brewed in Hong Kong and shipped over. The owner of Carbon Brews actually lives in Tokyo. The bar doesn’t honestly look very impressive from the outside but once you go in it’s a…
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…
This place has now moved, so the info is about the old place and extremely out of date. Sorry! The address and info at the bottom is for the new place though. But the picture isn’t… Another new-ish Yokohama place today, but I should stress that recently my concept of new and new-ish has become…
Alpha Beta Coffee club was kindly suggested to me by a reader of this blog. He said it was fast becoming his go to place to drink. Bizarrely, considering I pass through the station twice a day, three or four times a week, I have never actually been to Jiyugaoka, so this was an all…
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…
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…
For a while people have been bemoaning the lack of brewpubs in Tokyo. But at the moment it seems that we are getting a new one every month. Less frequent than we get new bars, the rate of opening of which I think has slowed to around one new place every two days recently. After…
This post was originally part of one Iidabashi round up post before I decided to split all of these joint posts. Check out the other part here. Post by James This pub is located on a side street a little way up Waseda-dori (you pass Craft Beer Server Land on the way). The Royal Scotsman…
Post by Jim Beer Saurus is a restaurant and bar less than a ten minute walk from the west exit of Ikebukuro station. It seats 60. Ten of the seats are at a counter with green back-lighting. At first glance the interior looks a bit like a club. Then you’ll notice all the craft beer signs and posters….
The last of my three stops on Sunday, the possibly amusingly named Wiz is another pretty new place. Looks like the rush of openings is still going strong. Perhaps it was the location, but before I went I felt like it had a Craft Beer Market feel to it. In other words, lots of taps,…
