I know I am always talking about how slow I am off the mark when it comes to visiting new places for this site. In this case I have really exceeded myself. I never made it to this place when it was the Nakameguro Beer Boy, and have now only just made it to this…
Post by Mothy Musashi Urawa has a craft beer bar! This is not a drill! Musashi Urawa finally has a craft beer bar! As you may be able to tell from my opening, I have been anxiously awaiting the day when someone would recognize the gap in the market and put a good place for…
I have to say, it’s been a long time for me between Craft Beer Server Land visits. A very long time. My main memory from the Kagurazaka branch is that I quite enjoyed going there in those days when there weren’t many bars around. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that they’d opened a branch…
Two recent jaunts to Yokohama for football meant that I could finally go to this new, (to me), Bay Brewing place very near Yokohama station. Situated on the second floor of a shopping centre (Yokohama Front) quite close to the north west exit of the station, this is a very convenient spot to get some…
I don’t know how likely it is that you will find yourself in Satsukidai, one stop west of Shin Yurigaoka on the Karakida branch of the Odakyu line. But in the event that you do, it’s worth pointing out that there is now a brewpub there for you to visit. Pecora opened last year, (I…
I’m not sure if I’m just really slow on the uptake recently but Tachihi Brewery seemed to come out of nowhere for me. I guess I’m not going to beer festivals as much as I used to, and at the same time am perhaps not paying as much attention to the beer scene as you’d…
This is something of a rarity. I’ve been quite quick off the mark when it comes to visiting and writing about this place. Well, if you count within six months of opening as quite quick off the mark. But writing this has made me aware of the fact that Vertere are opening a new taproom…
This place recently appeared on my radar when a friend of mine checked in to one of their beers on Untappd. The name was kind of intriguing but until now I hadn’t managed to visit. It’s been open a little while, (almost a year), but I suppose in the usual glacial Tokyo Beer Drinker scheme…
Post by Mothy I was happy to discover a new beer bar in Kawagoe that opened in August. I’ve been working in the city for about 10 years now, and the pickings have been slim in terms of getting a craft beer, so as soon as I heard about the place I rushed over after…
Today a quick post about what I was surprised to find out seems to be a new iteration of a well known and possibly not particularly loved old chain. Sake-ya Kitami is a really swish looking place under the Odakyu line tracks near Kitami station. Here’s the big reveal – it’s a branch of the…
