Another8 Corner is the sister bar of Another8 in Meguro, which in turn was a spin off from Before9 in Kyoto, which has now closed. I went to the Meguro branch once to put it on this site but have never been back since. There’s just too much choice nowadays I guess. I can’t remember…
A quick post today and this time it will be really quick. I’ve written before about a 7-11 in Chitose Funabashi that has a good beer selection. At the time I wrote that, I was told about this branch, halfway out to sea and about a ten minute walk from Bashamichi station. It’s worth the…
A quick post today on a fairly newly opened bar in Shinsen, not far from Hiranoya. I was drawn in by the records and beer concept and although the music wasn’t really my style, (actually not at all my style if I’m being honest), I really enjoyed listening to the music that was being selected…
Thanks to a recent sponsorship deal I’m pleased to announce that the next few hundred blog posts on here will be about the marvelous craft beer heavens that are 7-11s… Only joking. I would never accept sponsorship as my impartiality is not purchasable at any price. Well maybe I’d sell all of this out for…
Today, the last post from my Shibuya Beer Party 2021 expeditions and it’s somewhere that I have walked past on numerous occasions but never considered going into. Gau’s is quite near Cidernaut and slightly hidden away on the 2nd floor. But as there’s plenty of bright signage it’s probably hard to miss it. In the…
A quick post today to move somewhere off one of my digest posts and onto a fully formed post of its own. There are a lot of places around now that have large taplists of rare beers, but sometimes it’s nice to stick to something you know if the surroundings are nice. This place is…
Today a post on what is a relatively under the radar, (at least in my eyes), small chain of pubs. Obviously, I can only vouch for the branch I went to, so the other two will remain on the digest post here. However, I imagine the experience is fairly similar though, even if the decor…
A quick post today on a place in Chofu that I guess now acts as the taproom for the Chofu Beer Works brewery after they stopped serving beer at the brewery. Think this might have been the first time I have actually left the station at Chofu. Not sure why I felt the need to…
QUICK UPDATE: On our last visit Fiesta Garcia now are mainly selling their own beers under the brewery name Garcia Brew. They were in pretty modern styles, so if you’re heading here to drink Bayern Meister you might be disappointed. Not sure if they still have it. The food is still lovely by the way….
Today a briefer than usual brief post. McCanns is somewhere I’d heard of as being an Irish pub with some craft beer. When we visited after the final Frontale game of the season for our Frontale Gaijin Fan Bonenkai it was a really pleasant surprise. The decor and atmosphere is pretty authentically Irish pub like….
