Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae lists six taps led by Kaigan Brewery
In a June 4 post, Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae highlighted six draft beers, led by Kaigan Brewery, plus pours from Open Air Brewing and BrewBeast Brewery. The bar also noted its easy access, about two minutes from the newly renovated Edo-Tokyo Museum.
Hop BroToday’s topic is a hidden Ryogoku-Kuramae spot. Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae is pouring six taps centered on Kaigan Brewery, and the lineup is seriously solid.
MugiWhat! A six-tap setup already sounds strong! And that area between Ryogoku and Kuramae feels perfect for a casual stop, right?
Hop BroThat’s the smart part: it’s two minutes from the Edo-Tokyo Museum. The place is casual, has counter seating, and you can pair the beers with pizza, which is a great move.
MugiNo way, museum then beer is such a winning route. I can already see myself acting cultured and then immediately destroying a pizza.
Hop BroKaigan Brewery is the core here, with three beers leading the list. SHŌJŌ is a West Coast IPA, Tsuchigumo is a Dry Hop Saison, and ŌGAMA is a Hazy IPA.
MugiHold on, Dry Hop Saison sounds like a special attack move! How is that a beer description?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a saison with extra aroma. Saison is usually light and a bit spicy, and dry hopping adds hop fragrance later to make it more expressive.
MugiOhhh, so it’s basically an aroma boost plan! And with Open Air Brewing’s warm up as a Hazy IPA plus BrewBeast Brewery’s HeLL YeS! as a Helles, the range is wild.
Hop BroExactly, and Neo Sakuya is a hibiscus yuzu lager. So it’s not just bitter IPA territory, you also get soft lager notes and bright refreshing flavors in one stop.
MugiThen it’s officially a tasting flight situation. The June 13 CRAFT BANK TAP TAKEOVER and the June 27 WCB CAN SHARE NIGHT both sound tempting, but right now I just want pizza and a pint after the museum.
