GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS, a beer pub in Kameido, Tokyo, has announced a new guest beer. The tap addition is Tokyo Aleworks’ Downtown Tokyo Brown, described in the post as a “hoppy brown beer.” It sounds like a brown ale with a calm malt base and a clear hop edge.

True to its name, the shop pairs craft beer with fish and chips. Located at 5-16-6 Kameido, Koto-ku, Tokyo, it is the kind of neighborhood beer pub where you can drop in without much fuss. Fried food and a hop-forward brown ale are a natural fit when you want a beer-and-food session rather than just a quick pint.

The post also says the real ale line is off for now, so the focus is on the taps. In addition, a DD4D tap takeover is scheduled for next Saturday, with service planned from around 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The message ends with thanks to recent guests, which gives the shop a relaxed, regulars-friendly feel.

For anyone drinking through Kameido, this is a useful stop to keep on the radar: Tokyo Aleworks’ Downtown Tokyo Brown now, and a DD4D takeover next.
