Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand Opens at 3 PM on Monday, May 4, Serving 10 Beers
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome, Tokyo, will be open from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Monday, May 4 (a public holiday). Inside, 10 taps centered on the brewery's own beers will be lined up, offering a wide range of styles from DIPA and Red IPA to sour ale.
Hop BroOn Monday, May 4, you can enjoy 10 beers starting at 3 PM in Komagome, Tokyo. Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand is setting people up to drink properly from the early afternoon during Golden Week.
MugiWait, they’re open from 3 PM even on a holiday? Starting in the late afternoon like that really makes it feel like, “today is a drinking day”!
Hop BroAnd most of the taps are their own brews, with Sledgehammer DIPA as the star. Since it's an 8% Double IPA, the hop impact is going to hit hard.
MugiA double IPA? What even is that! What do you mean by hop impact?
Hop BroSimply put, it usually means stronger bitterness and aroma, and a fuller malt body. Here, they’re highlighting it as a beer with a powerful hop presence.
MugiI see! Then I’m curious about the color. Doesn’t Red IPA v.2 sound delicious just from the look of it?
Hop BroThat part is interesting too. The lineup spans a wide range of colors and styles, and alongside the Red IPA, you’ve got beers like `ライ麦畑でつかまえて#3`, which is in the Belgian Rye Pale Ale family, so comparing them should be fun.
MugiThe title alone has me curious! The Catcher in the Rye #3 sounds like a scandal already!
Hop BroAlso, `白ひつじのエール` is a collaboration with Sanriku Beer, and just the fact that it’s a collaboration with Sanriku Beer is exciting. Since it’s a Belgian Hazy IPA, you can expect a cloudy, juicy character too.
MugiCollaborations are great. And I really like the vibe of a beer-only place where you sip slowly with kaki-pea snacks and dagashi.
Hop BroExactly. It’s the kind of place where you stack up glasses rather than sit down for a full meal. If you drop by casually in Komagome during Golden Week and enjoy some unpretentious craft beer, you’ll probably end up wanting another one.
MugiThen it’s settled for today! I want to go from SIPL to DIPA in order, all while saying, I want another one!
The brewpub “Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand,” located in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, will be open from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Monday, May 4 (a public holiday). In a post, the shop said its Wednesday closing day remains unchanged during the Golden Week period, and that it will open the taproom in line with weekend and holiday business hours.
There will be 10 beers on tap that day. The highlight is a new release, `Sledgehammer DIPA` / Double IPA (8%), a beer that suggests a powerful hop presence. Other offerings include `Red IPA v.2` / American Red IPA (7%), `ライ麦畑でつかまえて#3` / American Belgo Style Ale (DH Belgian Rye Pale Ale, 6.4%), and `黒鳶Double` / Belgian Stout (8.5%), giving the lineup a broad spread in both color and style.
For those who want something easy-drinking, `空SIPL` / Session IPL (4.7%) and `駒込EXビター` / ESB (4.8%) are straightforward choices. Also on offer are `白ひつじのエール` / Belgian Hazy IPA (7.3%), a collaboration with Sanriku Beer, `OK.Hazy.` / Dry Hopped Wheat Ale (Hopfen weisse, 6.3%), `甚三紅(じんざもみ)サワーエール` / Dry Hopped Sour Ale with Herbs and Raspberry Pomegranate (5.5%), and `Motueka XPA` / Extra Pale Ale (6.3%), creating a lineup you can choose from according to your mood.
The shop basically operates as a “beer-only” venue, with food limited mainly to kaki-pea snacks and dagashi. Rather than a place to eat a full meal, it is the kind of taproom where you keep the glasses coming in Komagome's local atmosphere. For anyone looking to drop in and drink craft beer casually on a Golden Week day, it sounds like an easy place to stop by.
