Hop BroToday’s feature is Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand. This brewpub in Honkomagome dropped its June 21 tap list, and there’s a fresh new release on it.
MugiWhat, that already sounds dangerous! Is the new one Ryusui Soso #2? Even the name sounds so pretty I feel half refreshed already!
Hop BroExactly, and it’s an Italian Pilsner. You get the clean drinkability of a pilsner, but with a more expressive hop aroma, so it feels perfect for a first weekend pint.
MugiWait, what is that? When you say clean pilsner feel, my brain nods politely while understanding absolutely nothing.
Hop BroPut simply, it’s easy-drinking but aromatic. It goes down smoothly without feeling heavy, then the hop character floats up after, like a low-key person with a huge presence.
MugiOoh, that actually sounds like my kind of beer! And they’ve got nine house-brewed beers on tap? I’d freeze at the board for ten full minutes.
Hop BroThe range is the fun part. There’s Seiten Raimei #2 as a West Coast IPA, plus Sauvin Belgo, Pe Pe Pe, Yunosu Saison, Komagome Brown, and Kurotobi #4, so the lineup swings from crisp to deep.
MugiHold on, West Coast IPA already sounds intense! That’s the one that hits you with a hop gust instead of a sea breeze, right?!
Hop BroThat’s basically it. Think snappy bitterness and clarity. And since they also have EL BAMP HAZY and an English Best Bitter, you can totally change your route depending on your mood.
MugiAnd weekends and holidays run from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., right? Starting early with beer and casual snacks like kaki-bee and dagashi sounds absurdly good.
Hop BroThat relaxed local taproom feel is the whole charm. They’ve got POP-UP events coming too, but honestly this lineup makes me want to start with Ryusui Soso #2 first.
MugiSold. I’ll start there, then panic happily between an IPA and a saison. I’m fully in let’s go to Honkomagome now mode.
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Hon-Komagome, Bunkyo City, Tokyo, posted its Today’s on Tap lineup for Sunday, June 21. The brewpub opens at 3 p.m. on weekends and national holidays, 5 p.m. on weekdays, and is closed on Wednesdays, making it an easy stop for both afternoon drinking and after-work visits.
The lineup is centered on house beers and spans a wide range of styles: Sauvin Belgo (American Belgo Style Ale), Peep-peep-peep (Norwegian Pale Ale), Seiten Raimei #2 (West Coast IPA), and the new Ryusousou #2 (Italian Pilsner). The list also includes Yunosu Saison with yuzu character, Komagome Brown (Brown Saison), Komagome Best Bitter (English Best Bitter), EL BAMP HAZY (Hazy IPA), and Kurotobi #4 (Belgian Stout).
Because the selection moves from a crisp pilsner to hop-forward IPA, then through saison, bitter, and stout, it is an easy tap list to build a session around. Food service is intentionally light in regular operation, with snacks such as kakinotane and dagashi, which keeps the focus on the beer. The post also notes that service is handled by Sekiguchi, a former caregiver, adding a friendly, local feel to the taproom.
Upcoming pop-up plans were also announced, including tapas on June 27-28 and a music-focused beer event on July 5. For drinkers following Hinomoto’s releases, this is a useful snapshot of what is pouring now and what is coming next.
