A varied craft beer lineup in Kichijoji

BEER MARROW, a beer pub in Kichijoji, Tokyo, has published its current tap list. The lineup includes seven beers spanning barrel-aged sour ale, West Coast IPA, saison, hazy IPA, and hazy double IPA.

Far Yeast Brewing’s “Off Trail Gimme Those Fairy Wings” is a 6.5% barrel-aged sour ale made with mixed berries and Morello cherry. Its fruit character and barrel aging make it one of the more distinctive options on the list.

UCHU BREWING contributes “MANTLE,” a 7.0% DDH West Coast IPA. Yorocco Beer’s “Toita Saison,” brewed with ume and tulsi, offers a 5.0% saison with a more herbal and fruit-accented profile.

The stronger end of the selection includes RIO BREWING’s 8.5% “SOCIAL GRAVITY,” a DDH hazy DIPA. Also available are BLACK TIDE BREWING’s “Hazy Wave Spectrum,” Nobody Brewing’s “The Triphop,” and WEST COAST BREWING’s “Cloud 7.” With ABVs ranging from 5.5% to 8.5%, the list is well suited to a style comparison.

BEER MARROW is also running a record-focused service day, allowing guests to request records or bring their own, as long as the music can be played in the venue. The pub combines craft beer with a relaxed music atmosphere in Kichijoji.

Opening times vary between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., so guests should check before visiting. BEER MARROW is located on the fourth floor of Kawada Building, 1-25-10 Kichijoji-Honcho, Musashino, Tokyo.
