CRAFT BEER Ant'n Bee Roppongi lists 12 taps on Aug. 19
On Aug. 19, CRAFT BEER Ant'n Bee Roppongi posted a 12-tap lineup ranging from cider and sour beer to IPA and porter. The basement beer pub in Roppongi also highlighted its easy weekday hours for after-work visits.
Hop BroToday I've got a fun one: 12 beers on tap at CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi, all lined up in their basement pub.
MugiWhat, from cider to porter? So they went from light and fruity all the way to dark and roasty?
Hop BroExactly, and the range is great, with Cogg's KOTOKOTO2024#3, Moriyamaen Cassis, and even Smog City Dynamic Pressure in the Hazy IPA slot.
MugiWait, Hazy IPA always sounds like a beer you drink inside a cloud!
Hop BroThe name sounds foggy, but the idea is simple: think of it as a juicy, aromatic IPA with a soft, cloudy look.
MugiOkay, then HI Wire's Cooler Nights being a WCIPA means it's basically the opposite?
Hop BroPretty much. WCIPA means West Coast IPA, so you're getting a clean, bitter finish instead of that plush haze.
MugiThat is hilarious, a side-by-side tasting would feel like a personality test! And BTB's Cerveza Amigo in Michelada Style is basically beer's cocktail cousin!
Hop BroRight, and Brasserie Knot's RIVER is a saison, Fauve's Caresse d'Été is a white ale, and Garage's Locker is a porter, so the pairing range is wide too.
MugiAnd it's easy to swing by after work, with weekday opening at 5 and late last orders, so the just one drink plan already sounds doomed.
Hop BroExactly. In that homey basement spot, you could start with Shio Lemon Sour and finish on porter, which is why I'm ready for a tap takeover mission.
MugiSold. I'm starting with Grapefruits Sour and ending with Locker, because I'm now fully ready to drink.

The shop is located on the basement floor at 5-1-5 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, and the post describes it as having an at-home feel. Weekdays run from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, with food last order at 11:00 p.m. and drinks last order at 11:30 p.m., making it an easy stop after work.
The post also mentions a Bali-inspired dish, marinated atsuage with spices, fish sauce, and lemon. That gives the lineup a food pairing angle, especially for cider, sour, IPA, and porter fans alike.
