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…
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…
A quick post today on another new brewery. There really have been quite a few of them opening recently. Once again, I’ve jumped the gun by going before they have actually started brewing, so will revisit and update this post when they do. (See below, it’s done!). Here’s what you need to know. – Small…
Another quick post today, this time on Sidewalk Stand Inokashira. The original Sidewalk Stand in Nakameguro is already on my map but I didn’t think it justified a full entry as they beers weren’t so exciting so it’s on the digest post here. This branch makes it to full post status though, as the beer…
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…
Another day, another new brewery! Although once again, I visited before the place actually started brewing. ‘And Beer’, or ‘& Beer’, or ‘アンドビール’, take your pick, is situated in a nice new building almost smack between Asagaya and Koenji stations. Brewing is due to start sometime around March. Here’s what you need to know. –…
Firstly, apologies for the terrible photo. There are some pretty bad ones on this blog, but I’m reaching new depths with this one, snapped with about a millisecond’s thought as I entered the pub. Twelve is somewhere I’ve been meaning to get to for a long time as it’s part of the KO (Keio) Craft…
I was completely unaware of this place until I was tipped off about it by one of my fellow Gremlin regulars (thanks Tatchy). Kagoya seems to be a long standing sake shop that has recently expanded into a bar/restaurant and brewery. It’s a nice looking place, but quite far from public transport, so I’m guessing…
Beer Cellar Tokyo is a fairly recently opened, bar, bottle shop and soon to be brewery located in Komae in west Tokyo, not too far from Komae or Kitami stations on the Odakyu line. There seems to be a connection with Beer Cellar Sapporo, at least nominally and thematically. The big difference is that it…
Today a quick post on somewhere that had previously appeared on my digest post but now has a full entry on here. Good Sleep Baker is a bar with bakery upstairs in an area that I didn’t really have anything on my Tokyo Beer Drinker map. It’s within about a 20 minute walk of Umegaoka’s…
