Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae Adds a 2-Hour VIP Plan in June

Hop BroThis latest update is all about a new 2-hour VIP plan. Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae posted the menu change on June 25.
MugiWait, not just unlimited time anymore? That suddenly sounds perfect for a quick beer run!
Hop BroExactly. The 4,990-yen unlimited VIP stays, and now there's a 4,490-yen two-hour option too. It also fits their whole idea of being a beer-centered hub near both Ryogoku and Kuramae.
MugiOkay, but I need to hear about the six taps. What was pouring?
Hop BroThe lineup is strong. Craft Bank's BANK COLD IPA is a Session Cold IPA, Nomcraft Brewing's Sir Danx a lot is a Hazy IPA, and Kaigan Brewery's Jet Lag is an NE IPA, so you open with a triple hop kickoff.
MugiHold on, Session Cold IPA and NE IPA sound like exam abbreviations. What do they actually taste like?
Hop BroShort version: Session Cold IPA is crisp and easy-drinking but still aromatic, NE IPA is juicy and hazy, and Hazy IPA lives in that same neighborhood. Think big aroma, soft landing.
MugiOhhh, got it. So it's not just bitter-bitter-bitter, it's six different moods in one stop.
Hop BroExactly. BITTER BUG brings the Best Bitter snap, EL CLASICO gives you fruity saison character, and COFFEESTOUT is built for a finishing pint. Then you've got WCB CAN SHARE NIGHT on June 27 and Revo Brewing's tap takeover schedule coming too.
MugiThat is unfair in the best way. Now I want pizza and a tasting run while I debate whether to sprint through two hours or camp out on unlimited.
Hop BroThat's the move. I'd start with BANK COLD IPA and finish on COFFEESTOUT. This is a go-drink-it-now kind of night.
June menu update: a 2-hour VIP plan joins the lineup
Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae is a beer pub in Sumida, Tokyo, within walking distance of Ryogoku and Kuramae. The shop is known for making craft beer and pizza easy to enjoy in a tucked-away neighborhood setting.
In its June 25, 2026 post, the bar announced a change to its VIP plan. The existing unlimited-time VIP option at 4,990 yen remains available, and a new 2-hour VIP plan at 4,490 yen has been added. That gives visitors more flexibility, whether they want a long session or a shorter stop focused on tasting.
Today’s tap list
The post listed six beers on tap:
- BANK COLD IPA / Craft Bank (Kyoto) / Session Cold IPA
- Sir Danx a lot / Nomcraft Brewing (Wakayama) / Hazy IPA
- Jet Lag / Kaigan Brewery (Chiba) / NE IPA
- BITTER BUG / Craft Bank (Kyoto) / Best Bitter
- EL CLASICO / Craft Bank (Kyoto) / Fruited Saison
- COFFEESTOUT / Craft Bank (Kyoto) / Stout
The lineup spans a wide range of styles, from a crisp session cold IPA and hop-forward hazy and NE IPAs to a bitterness-driven best bitter, a fruited saison, and a stout that closes the list with depth. It is the kind of tap selection that makes a single visit feel like a small tasting tour.
More reasons to follow the bar
The post also framed the bar as a place where people connect through beer. The new 2-hour plan broadens the entry point without removing the freedom of the unlimited option, which should make the shop easier to use for different kinds of visits.
Upcoming plans were also shared: WCB CAN SHARE NIGHT on June 27 by reservation, a Revo Brewing tap takeover on July 11, and another tap takeover on August 22. For beer fans in the Ryogoku and Kuramae area, the changing taps and scheduled events make this a place worth keeping on the radar.
If you want to drink through Japanese craft beer in one neighborhood stop, this update is worth noting.
