Quick update: They now have accommodation above the bar. Something like a hotel. And there’s a plan to get beer connected up to your room so soon you will be able to drink yourself to sleep perhaps without having to leave your bed! Couldn’t find any info about it on their website, but was told…
Our second and final stop in Matsumoto was another brewery, Bacca Brewing. The Matsumoto Brewery Taproom was small but this one was even smaller, being located in a former barbershop. There are a few other beer places in town that I hope to check out if Matsumoto stay in J1 next year or we get…
A new team in J1 means a new away fixture for me and therefore an opportunity to visit some new bars in a new town. I guess I’m pushing things a bit with this post and the next one, as it takes quite a while to get to Matsumoto from Tokyo. However, given that these…
Let me start this post with an apology. Sorry this post isn’t very good. Firstly, the photo isn’t a good one but that’s not entirely my fault. There was some construction going on when I visited. Best look out for those distinctive doors to find this place. Secondly, I probably should have made some better…
Today a quick post on a bar that seemed to appear without me realising. It’s strange, as I walk along this road quite a lot but I guess that I probably haven’t recently, and perhaps a recent break in boozing has compounded that. But here it is anyway, a new beer bar in Shimokita, a…
Updated April 2024 Finally I’ve made it back to Monkey Wrench. Well, I say made it back, but I mean that I’ve made it to their new location for the first time. It’s been a little while since they moved so I’m sorry it took me so long. As the details are significantly different I’ve…
Post by James Two Fingers has just opened on the north side of Ikebukuro. It is jointly owned by Nao and Stef. Nao is Japanese and I think Stef is Australian but he speaks decent Japanese. Both are chatty and probably what I liked best about Two Fingers is that it is the kind of…
Much like the last post, where I suggested that you could find out all you need to know about Beer Kobo Shinjuku by reading the previous posts on Beer Kobo pubs and just changing the location, today’s post on the latest iBrew branch to open in Akihabara can repeat the trick by directing you to…
It’s taken me a while to get round to coming here but it shouldn’t really take long to write this blog post as I could just direct you to the other posts about Beer Kobo brew pubs here and be done with it. These places are not to everyone’s taste, but they definitely serve a…
Post by Mothy On January 8th Beernova Urawa (or Beer Nova Urawa- they aren’t 100% consistent with their signage) opened. It’s a nice location close to Urawa station. I didn’t time it, but it’s probably 2 or 3 minutes away at the most. Beernova is a sister shop to BeerHunting Urawa in Kita Urawa. If…
