The Cat & Cask Tavern taps four beers on June 10
The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho, Tokyo, is pouring four beers on June 10, led by Minoh Kozaru IPA, Yokohama Pub Crawl IPA, Brimmer Hazy IPA, and Minoh Nice na Bitter on real ale. With food temporarily paused, it is a beer-first visit.
Hop BroKanamecho is looking good today because The Cat & Cask Tavern has a sharp lineup on June 10. Four beers are pouring from Minoh, Yokohama, and Brimmer, and IPA fans are going to lock in hard.
MugiWait, three IPA punches in one night!? If I start a side-by-side tasting, my excitement is going to tap out before the beer does!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong. Minoh Beer’s Kozaru IPA is a limited fresh cask, then there’s Yokohama Beer’s Pub Crawl IPA, Brimmer Brewing’s Hazy IPA, and even Nice na Bitter in the mix.
MugiHold on, real ale means what exactly? That sounds less like beer and more like the final boss of a fantasy game!
Hop BroNot a boss fight, just a slower kind of delicious. It’s poured with a handpump setup, kept in a natural condition, and the softer carbonation lets you catch more aroma and malt.
MugiNo way, so it’s personality in foam too? Then does the Hazy IPA feel softer on the palate because of that cloudy style?
Hop BroThat’s basically it. Hazy IPA usually leans into a rounder mouthfeel, so comparing that with Kozaru IPA’s freshness and Pub Crawl IPA’s character should be a lot of fun.
MugiAnd they’ve got food on pause for now, right? That almost sounds like a training day where you face the beer with no distractions!
Hop BroExactly. If you want to focus on aroma and temperature, it’s kind of ideal: a quiet British-style pub, open 6 to 10 p.m., groups up to four, and a pay-as-you-order setup.
MugiThat settles it, June 10 at night sounds like the move. I want to start with Kozaru IPA, then sip Nice na Bitter and pretend I suddenly understand everything.
Hop BroThat order actually makes sense. For a tasting night, I’d open with Kozaru IPA too, then land on the real ale at the end because now I really want that first pint.
Tap lineup for June 10
The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho, Toshima-ku, Tokyo, is an English-style, house-like craft beer pub designed as a quiet place to unwind. Its Japan-made craft beer setup includes three handpump lines for real ale and three draft lines.
The June 10 lineup features Minoh Kozaru IPA (limited, fresh cask), Yokohama Pub Crawl IPA (limited), Brimmer Hazy IPA (limited), and Minoh Nice na Bitter served as a real ale. The mix is IPA-heavy, but the one real-ale cask gives the selection a clear point of difference.
What stands out
The post also says that the food menu is temporarily on hold. That makes this a good stop for people who want to focus on the beer itself, from aroma and texture to the way each pint settles in the glass.
Opening hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 18:00 to 22:00. Last order for food is 21:00, and last order for beer is 21:30. The pub also notes a four-person limit per group and cash on delivery. In other words, this is a place for a small, calm session rather than a large, noisy gathering.
Why beer fans may want to stop by
The lineup offers a clean contrast between limited IPA releases and a single real-ale cask. The fresh cask version of Kozaru IPA should bring a lively, bright impression, while Pub Crawl IPA adds another IPA perspective to compare side by side. Brimmer's Hazy IPA should appeal to drinkers looking for a softer, juicier pour.
For beer lovers in Tokyo, it is a straightforward but appealing evening: a quiet pub, limited releases, and a real-ale pour that invites slow drinking and careful comparison.
