Today another growler filling place but one which encourages on site drinking a bit more than Night Owl. Tap and Growler also has a distinctly bigger selection and has the advantage of being located in Shimokitazawa. Unfortunately, this desirable location is reflected in their pricing, but to be honest, is in keeping with most of…

Kitchen 078
The final post of my small flurry, and the second stop in Chigasaki after Gold’n Bub. Kitchen 078 is just round the corner, very close to the station and is a pretty small place with good beer and food and a really nice feel. Here’s what you need to know. – Pretty small, even by…
Bruntons
This place has now moved, so the info is about the old place and extremely out of date.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…
Antenna America Yokohama Station
The first of a quick flurry of Yokohama places today. It would be nice to say that this is a sign that I’ll be updating the blog a lot more in the future, but I suspect that posts will still come in little bursts like this. It has now go to the stage that places…
Hatos Outside
Today, a post about a place that I’ve been hearing good things about from people who are big US beer fans. Hatos Outside is connected to the BBQ and beer place in Naka Meguro called Hatos Bar. I once tried to go there, as the friend I was with was desperate to try some of…
Beer Ma Kanda
Today a post about a fairly new branch for Beer Ma, who up till now have been mainly all about the Kita Senju area of Tokyo, but have now ventured further into the centre. This is great for me, as it feels a lot easier to go to a Kanda bottle shop and bar than…
Tokyo Old Boys Brewing (Formerly Inazuma)
THIS WAS INAZUMA BUT IS NOW TOKYO OLD BOYS BREWING. NO IDEA IF THERE IS ANY CONNECTION. HAVE UPDATED THE LINKS AND HAVE LEFT THE OLD POST HERE TILL I MANAGE TO GO THERE Today, another relatively new brewpub and, as seems to have been the case recently, one which has actually managed to start…
Brief Nagoya intermission, part 4: Beer Pub Brick Lane
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,…
Bucket HERE / Kakegawa Farm Brewing
[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…
Garageville
This is the first of two posts on places that I feel deserve to be on here because of a somewhat interesting selling point. I’ll keep the posts fairly brief, as both places are not uniquely beer places, but are well worth popping in to. So, today, it’s Garageville. I’d never got off the train…
