Tachinomi 2nd is a pretty small place (maybe the smallest on this blog actually…) with a slightly unique concept and lots of charm. Here’s what you need to know: – Small standing bar in what looks a bit like a tiny portacabin but is actually the bottom floor of a very uniquely designed building. There’s…
An afternoon visit to Harajuku for an errand has kickstarted this blog back into real posting action. Perhaps… This is the first of two posts on quite new places in the Harajuku area which both happen to be beer shops with some degree of on site drinking. This seems to be becoming quite a popular…
A quick post today on a recently opened place in Musashi Kosugi. Bucket is a cafe that also serves craft beer rather than being a craft beer cafe if you know what I mean. Perhaps it could be more easily described as a coffee and craft beer place which to be fair is exactly how…
Today a little post on a brewery that I managed to go to on the second time of asking. Cranc is out in Itabashi, not too far away from Tokyo Aleworks. They are quite different places though in most aspects. As I probably said in the Tokyo Aleworks post on here, Itabashi is really not…
Today, a place I was slightly conflicted about visiting. Actually slightly is an understatement. Revo is a new brewery at the bottom of what I think is a big new APA hotel in Yokohama. If you don’t know about APA hotels, well… maybe it’s best that you should do your own research and make up…
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…
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…
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…
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: 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…
