CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi updates 11-tap list on April 9
At the beer pub "CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi" in Roppongi, Tokyo, the draft lineup for April 9 has been announced. Eleven domestic and international labels, including Minoh, Mother Road, Left Hand, and Dieu du Ciel!, are on the list, along with notice that the pub opens at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.
Hop BroToday, it’s about how CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi in Roppongi updated its tap list on April 9. It’s a basement-floor beer pub, and the nice thing is that you can just drop in after work.
MugiWait, it opens at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays? That’s almost too kind to people coming home from work! And being underground makes it feel like a secret base!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong again. With 11 labels from Japan and abroad, it’s set up so you can compare domestic and international character all at once.
MugiWhat? Eleven kinds? That’s the kind of place where you don’t know where to start. Tell me the best entry point!
Hop BroIf you start with the Japanese side, Minoh Beer’s Barley Tea Bitter is interesting. A bitter has that balance of bitterness and malt calmness, and the barley-tea-like toasted aroma comes through smoothly.
MugiA beer that tastes like barley tea? So the toasty aroma is the star? That sounds like something I could drink quickly in summer, and now I’m curious!
Hop BroThen I’d go after the overseas side too. Mother Road’s IPA puts hop aroma front and center, and the Hazy IPA from the same brewery brings haze and juiciness, so the contrast is really clear.
MugiSo that Hazy is a hazy-style IPA? It sounds difficult just from the name, but hearing that it drinks kind of fruity suddenly makes it feel familiar!
Hop BroExactly. It often feels softer than it looks. If you add Left Hand’s Milk Stout into the mix, the roasted character and smoothness really open up, and the flow becomes a lot more fun.
MugiWow, the range of styles is huge! And if they’ve got cider and hard tea too, it sounds like I could bring friends who aren’t even big beer drinkers!
Hop BroThat’s exactly the point. Since the lineup is easy to pair with food, it feels great to start with a bitter, move into a Hazy, and finish with something cherry-forward or Tea Time.
MugiAlright, decision made. Tonight’s a tasting tour in Roppongi! Following all 11 beers in a basement venue is definitely going to be fun!
