The beer pub 2nd COOPER in the Ueno/Okachimachi area of Taito City, Tokyo, announced its business hours and guest beer lineup in an Instagram post on January 23. On this day, it opened from 16:00. It’s the kind of offering that fits a drink after work or any time you want to enjoy a light lager.

The beer introduced as currently on tap was the German pale lager "Schneider’s Bayrisch Hell" (alc 4.9%). The post explains that this locally loved Helles, passed down by the Schneider family, uses Hallertau hops and Gauboden barley from areas near the brewery.

The tasting notes are also specific: the color is yellow. The aroma offers light malt, bread, hay, and flowers. The flavor is built around a delicate balance of malt and hops, with light sweetness, a fresh herbal character, citrus nuances, and a moderate bitterness. It’s a beer that should appeal to lager fans who value drinkability over flashiness.

2nd COOPER is a place in the Okachimachi Station area where you can seriously enjoy craft beer. As with this post, it shares guest beer status alongside daily business information, making it easy to check the lineup before visiting. For anyone who wants to properly taste a German-style lager in Tokyo, this was a post worth checking out if the timing works out.
