Today, a relatively new brewery out in east Tokyo that was surprisingly popular when we visited shortly after opening on a Saturday afternoon. Folkways Brewing is out in Koto-ku near Kiyosumishirakawa station in a pretty unassuming building next to what looks like a parking area for buses. I know next to nothing about it, so…
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…
Craftrock Brewpub & Live, the latest place in the Craft Beer Market empire, (at least in Tokyo anyway), is their first foray into making beer instead of just serving it at very reasonable prices. Somewhat amusingly, the prices aren’t as cheap here, which seems like it could be counter-intuitive, but perhaps it’s actually more expensive…
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…
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 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…
