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…
I seem to have got back on the horse a bit recently with regards to making posts on here. I’m quite pleased about this as there are plenty of places to visit. At the same time, I’m not so pleased for the same reason. Whilst checking back on some old places, I’ve found that there…
This is the newest Tokyo addition to the Craft Beer Market empire and it’s another Beer Boy. Personally, from my limited experience, I think I prefer the actual CBMs rather than the Beer Boys, but another place serving reasonably priced beers is always a good thing. If you’ve been to one Beer Boy, you’ll pretty…
Today another brief post, this time, perhaps briefer than my usual brief posts. Although this introduction will really cut into the brevity. Platinum Fish is a part of one of those hidden chains owned I guess by a huge company. Although in this case, the chain is only half hidden, as most of the bars…
A quick post today on Mountain River, a brewery and kind of taproom in Kugayama on the Inokashira Line. The reason I say kind of taproom will become clear further down. There have been a spate of new brewery openings in the last few years. Unfortunately, that has coincided with a bit of a slack…
A brief post today on somewhere that has been open for a while but I have only recently got round to visiting. Sadly this is the same old story for me recently. The backlog is now huge again. My inclination to visit new places has collapsed and has coincided with me now being unemployed. (My…
Tamsang Tokyo x Craft Beer Bar Taptime is the slightly unwieldy name of the new branch of Taptime which was formerly in Umegaoka and has now moved along the Odakyu line to Yoyogi Hachiman. It’s not only the name that has changed though. There is a very different feel to the new bar and a…
Post by Mothy This is now a new write up by Mothy. I’ve moved the old version right to the bottom of this page if you’re interested in reading it. I wrote about Grow Brew House for Tokyo Beer Drinker back in 2019, but as time passed, things about the place changed and my…
Today, a quick post on somewhere that I thought was new but actually opened last year. Shows you how up to date with things I am. Although to be fair to myself, it wouldn’t be any kind of exaggeration to say that this place is a little off the beaten track. Makuhari Brewery is in,…
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….
