A quick post on another new ‘brewery’ in Tokyo. Like many of the breweries that have recently opened (Goto Jozo, Pacific NW (post to follow when I actually manage to go there), and the over four years open Watering Hole who seem to be concentrating more on prising money away from people than starting brewing),…

Devil Craft Gotanda
A sightly belated post on the new Devil Craft today. I suspect that a lot of you have been there already as they’ve been open a little while now, but I haven’t been able to find the time to visit till now. If you’ve been to one of the other Devil Craft bars you’ll know…
Titans Craft Beer Taproom & Bottle Shop
Post by James Titans is a Taproom and bottle shop that has just opened right next to Otsuka station. It is a collaboration between two beer importers AQ Bevolution and Beer Cats. Titans has three floors. The first floor has the counter and large fridges. There is one small table and standing space. The second…
Beer Cafe Hopman
A couple of stops down the train line from Fujisawa is a place that I have been looking forward to trying for a long while. Hopman is the sister bar of Ushitora (but don’t let that put you off…) as the people who opened it used to work at the Shimokitazawa home of bad service…
Grano
Today, another Fujisawa place. Grano is a pizzeria with a decent selection of craft beer just a few minutes from the station. I’d heard good things about their pizzas and was interested to check them out and of course, also the beers. – Very much feels like a pizza restaurant (because that’s what it is,…
Craftsman Yokohama
[Apparently, they now allow smoking inside, so another reason for some not to go here] Seems that Craftsman is becoming a fast growing chain recently. They have fairly recently opened new bar/restaurants in Kichijoji and Yokohama. There will be a post on the Kichijoji branch fairly soon, but as I was in Yokohama for football,…
Niigata intermission part 1: Beer Trip Olive
Another Pint is now called EST and isn’t linked to Olive anymore. It’s on the Niigata round up post along with lots of other places that you can find here. Niigata round up (Not sure why but it wouldn’t let me link to it more elegantly. Sorry) Also, it’s best to check Olive is open…
Craft Beer Market Otemachi
A brief post on the latest Craft Beer Market, this time in Otemachi. First, the stuff that I always write about Craft Beer Market branches. It has the usual 30 taps of cheap beer in the usual sizes at the usual prices. Most beers are served in two sizes 250ml (¥480) and 473ml (¥780). Barley…
Yotsuya Part 2 – Mates
(This was originally one post with another Yotsuya place. Check that here) Post by James I found this place by chance as I arrived about 20 minutes before Marumugi opened. – Mates is a small bar with seven counter seats and a table that could seat about the same number. – They had Lagunitas, Sierra…
Beer Saurus
Post by Jim Beer Saurus is a restaurant and bar less than a ten minute walk from the west exit of Ikebukuro station. It seats 60. Ten of the seats are at a counter with green back-lighting. At first glance the interior looks a bit like a club. Then you’ll notice all the craft beer signs and posters….
