Hop BroThe Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho has announced four beers on tap for November 4: classics, a fresh-hop IPA, and even real ale.
MugiWhoa! Four beers to choose from? I could spend the whole evening deciding!
Hop BroFor a first pint, Brimmer Brewing's Pale Ale sounds ideal—easy drinking, with a gentle malty richness.
MugiWhat does malty richness mean? Is it the flavor of grain? I hope my taste buds can find it!
Hop BroExactly. Malt is the beer's grain-based foundation, bringing bread-like notes and a soft sweetness. Just follow the aroma and finish!
MugiNice! Then I want the star of the list, Shiga Kogen IPA. How is fresh-hop beer different?
Hop BroFresh hops are used soon after harvest, so they can bring a vivid green aroma. Look for bright herbal and citrus-like character.
MugiFresh hops!? It sounds like beer with salad in it—wait, so it means just-harvested hop aroma!
Hop BroThen reset your palate with Minoh Beer’s crisp Pilsner, before moving to its Pale Ale Real Ale. That is a lovely tasting sequence.
MugiWhat is real ale? Does that mean every other beer is fake? Please say no!
Hop BroNo fake beer here! It is served by hand pump in the British style, with gentle carbonation and evolving temperature. The tavern opens one cask every Wednesday.
MugiSipping a beer that changes as it warms in a cozy British-style house pub sounds wonderful. They are open Wednesday through Saturday, from 6 to 10 p.m.
Hop BroBeer orders close at 9:30 p.m., so let’s arrive early. From Shiga Kogen IPA to the hand pump, Kanamecho is calling tonight!
MugiDeal! The Pale Ale’s remaining amount is unclear, and now I want to try all four beers with you, Hop-bro!
The Cat & Cask Tavern, a craft beer pub in Kanamecho, Toshima, Tokyo, has announced four beers for Wednesday, November 4.
The draft lineup includes Brimmer Brewing Pale Ale, an approachable choice with a balanced malt character and refreshing drinkability. The source post notes that only an unspecified amount remains, so guests looking for this beer may want to arrive early.
Also available is Shiga Kogen IPA (Fresh Hop). Its fresh-hop character makes it the most hop-forward selection on the list, offering a chance to enjoy vivid, green hop aromas alongside the brewery’s IPA profile.
Minoh supplies two further options: Pilsner and Pale Ale Real Ale. The latter is served as a cask-conditioned real ale, a recurring feature at the pub, with one new cask introduced every Wednesday. Its softer carbonation and evolving presentation make it a good choice for a slower drink.
