The Cat & Cask Tavern taps four beers on July 1, including Refuro Beer and Minoh
The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho, Tokyo, has posted its beer lineup for July 1. The list includes four beers from Refuro Beer, Brimmer Brewing, and Minoh, with Minoh Pale Ale served as a real ale.
Hop BroToday’s lineup at The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho looks seriously good.
MugiWhoa, the name already sounds classy! What’s on the July 1 tap list?
Hop BroThey’ve got Hansharo Beer’s Amber Lager, Brimmer Brewing’s Hazy IPA, Minoh’s Nice na Bitter, and a Minoh Pale Ale served as real ale.
MugiThat escalated into delicious fast! But real ale means what exactly, ale from an alternate dimension?
Hop BroNo multiverse punch-ups here. It’s served by hand pump, so the carbonation is softer and the aroma and texture come through more gently.
MugiOhhh, so even the same pale ale can feel different because of the difference in carbonation?
Hop BroExactly. A malty Hansharo lager, a hop-forward Brimmer Hazy IPA, a firm-bitter Minoh bitter, and that real ale pale together make for a great comparison flight.
MugiAnd it’s a quiet place to relax in Kanamecho? In a British-style townhouse pub? That’s dangerously my vibe.
Hop BroWhat makes it even better is the changing weekly cask every Wednesday, so you can follow how the beer’s sweet spot shifts over time. Food is paused too, so it’s a full-focus beer night.
MugiThen we have to go! A night of limited taps and real ale from Wednesday to Saturday sounds way too good to ignore.
Hop BroThey’re open 6 to 10 p.m., last call is 9:30, and it’s cash on delivery, so the drinking rhythm stays nice and smooth.
MugiThat settles it. I want the real ale pale ale first, you grab the Hazy IPA, and I can already see the cheers happening.

The Cat & Cask Tavern is a British-style one-house beer pub in Kanamecho, Tokyo. The bar describes itself as a quiet place to relax, and its Japanese craft beer program is built around three hand-pump real-ale taps and three draft taps. For July 1, the lineup leans into variety: a malt-forward amber lager, a hop-driven hazy IPA, a firm and bitter bitter ale, and a pale ale poured as real ale.
The real-ale pour is especially notable. Minoh Pale Ale appears on hand pump, and the bar notes that the real-ale cask changes every Wednesday. That makes this the kind of place where the experience can shift from week to week, even when the beer name is familiar. Pairing the limited releases with a real-ale pour should give drinkers a clear look at how carbonation, aroma, and serving method change the impression of each beer.
Food service is paused for the time being, so this date is especially beer-focused. Opening hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 18:00 to 22:00, with last call for beer at 21:30. The bar also limits groups to four people and uses cash-on-delivery service. For drinkers who want a calm room, rotating taps, and a proper look at Japanese craft beer served in different styles, this is a date worth noting.
