Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand lists Sauvin Belgo and 8 more beers for June 8
The Komagome brewpub updated its June 8 tap list, featuring nine named beers from Sauvin Belgo to Kurotobi #4. The post also points to a June 9 talk event and a series of upcoming taproom pop-ups.
Hop BroToday's lineup at Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand has a nine-beer tap list I really like. On June 8 they're pouring from 15:00 to 22:00, from Sauvin Belgo all the way to Kurotobi #4.
MugiWait, nine beers at once!? If it goes from light stuff to dark stout, I'd be staring at the menu like my eyes lost Wi-Fi!
Hop BroThe first one that jumps out is Sauvin Belgo, an American Belgo Style Ale at 6%. It's the kind of hybrid where Belgian-style yeast character meets American hop punch.
MugiHold on, what is Belgo!? Is that a beer style or the sound effect when a bell goes off?
Hop BroIt means more of that Belgian yeast character. Think fruity or spicy aromas, so the yeast helps drive the flavor instead of staying in the background.
MugiOooh, then Seiten Raimei #2 being a West Coast IPA sounds bright, loud, and maybe a little dangerously bitter!
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. A West Coast IPA is all about crisp bitterness and a sharp finish. At 7.5%, that one can sneak up on you after the first easy sip.
MugiBut then you've also got Yunosu Saison and Ryusui Soso #2 as an Italian Pilsner, so the refreshing team is here too. That makes the drinking order a whole strategy game!
Hop BroExactly, and the place even says craft beer only with a straight face. Snacks are light, like kaki-pi and dagashi, so it really feels built for focusing on the beer itself.
MugiAnd the next day there's the Komagome Bachi Geography Talk for free, right? Beer, conversation, and then more pop-ups later in June is honestly a dangerous amount of temptation.
Hop BroI'm already mapping out the dream drinking order in my head. Start with Komagome Best Bitter, then finish with Kurotobi #4 and call it a perfect night.
MugiSame. I want to head straight to Honkomagome and pick between Sauvin Belgo and EL BAMP HAZY by pure mood. This article absolutely makes me want a glass!
June 8 update
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, announced a special schedule for Monday, June 8, with service from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The post also reiterates the venue's regular Wednesday closing day and its usual operating hours.
Beers on tap
- Sauvin Belgo / American Belgo Style Ale, 6%
- ぺーぺーぺー / Norwegian Pale Ale, 5.5%
- 晴天雷鳴 #2 / West Coast IPA, 7.5%
- 流水草々 #2 / Italian Pilsner, 5.5%
- Yunosu Saison / Yuzu Sour Saison, 6%
- 駒込Brown / Brown Saison, 6%
- 駒込Best Bitter / English Best Bitter, 4.5%
- EL BAMP HAZY / Hazy IPA, 7%
- 黒鳶 #4 / Belgian Stout, 7%
The lineup spans Belgian-style ale, Pale Ale, West Coast IPA, Italian Pilsner, Saison, Best Bitter, Hazy IPA, and stout. That makes it an easy stop for drinkers who want to move from crisp and bitter to fuller, darker profiles without leaving the same bar.
The taproom keeps the focus on beer: the post says there is no food service beyond snacks, with craft beer at the center of the experience. That fits the brewpub format well, and it gives the lineup itself more room to stand out.
The same post also advertises a June 9 talk event at 7:00 p.m. with Sawauchi-sensei, themed around Edo Tokyo Museum and an introduction to Edo. Additional taproom pop-ups are lined up later in the month as well, including lampredotto, a potato-chip hot dog, and seasonal tapas. For beer fans, the draw is not only the tap list but the steady stream of small events built around it.
