Hop BroEvolve Beer&Kitchen in Mukojima, Sumida Ward came in on May 4 with an 11-tap update. NARA BREWING Co. and Minoh Beer are both on the list, and just looking at it makes it feel like the glasses are lining up before you even decide.
MugiWhoa, 11 beers? That's enough to make me dizzy with happy screams before I even choose!
Hop BroThe new keg is Matsumoto Brewery’s OLD SHILLING Scottish Heavy in a nitro version, and it’s a 3.5% Scottish ale.
MugiNitro? What even is that! Does that soft mouthfeel really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroUsing nitrogen makes the foam finer and the texture smoother on the tongue. That’s why even a Scottish ale can bring out the malt sweetness so gently.
MugiOhhh! Then I’m also curious about NARA BREWING Co.’s DAYLONG and LOCOMOTION, and the fact that they even have Minoh Beer’s Honey Saison and Ume-chu is seriously bold!
Hop BroExactly, and they also have West Coast Brewing’s No Ketchup and collaborations like Minoh Beer x Akishika Sake Brewery’s Saruyama Shikanosuke, so the range is insanely wide.
MugiWait, the collabs are totally backed up! And they’ve got lager, IPA, and fruit sour too, so it feels like you could keep going around based on your mood!
Hop BroAnd they even have draft Sapporo Black Label, so you can start with something easy and then move into the heavier stuff. The food lineup also includes bluefin tuna and flounder sashimi, plus taro karaage with dashi, so the tasting plan is perfect.
MugiWow, with a 3:00 p.m. opening and all that, I’d want to settle in from early on! Matcha tiramisu too? That’s almost unfair!
Hop BroSeriously. There are so many beers I want to try, I’d want to start early with one drink and work my way from the Scottish ale to the collaborations. Now I want to go to Mukojima right away too.
MugiIf you say that, I’m done for! I want to toast right now too, and drown in beer while staring at the taps in Mukojima!

The shop, which reopened on April 3, offers a relaxed space with counter seating, table seating, and terrace seating, making it an easy-to-enter beer pub even for solo visitors.
The new tap for the day is Matsumoto Brewery’s "OLD SHILLING Scottish Heavy ~Nitro ver.~". This 3.5% Scottish ale is served on nitro, and its soft mouthfeel makes it a particularly intriguing beer. The taps also feature a wide range of styles, including NARA BREWING Co.’s "DAYLONG" and "LOCOMOTION", Minoh Beer’s "Honey Saison", Minoh Beer x Mikkeller’s "Ume-chu", and West Coast Brewing’s "No Ketchup".
The collaborations are another highlight. The lineup spans everything from lager, weizen, fruit sour, and IPA, including Minoh Beer x Akishika Sake Brewery’s "Saruyama Shikanosuke", Repubrew x Heisei 3 Nenkai’s "AGE AGE SAME AGE", and NOMCRAFT BREWING’s "Banana Kick". Draft Sapporo’s "Black Label" is also on tap, creating a lineup that works well for everything from casual drinking to side-by-side tastings.
On the food side, special menu items were also announced, including red-and-white sashimi of bluefin tuna and flounder, flounder namero with green onion and salt, chicken tender and mushroom tossed with yuzu pepper mayo, deep-fried taro with dashi, homemade green onion chashu, and matcha tiramisu. Beyond snacks to pair with beer, the shop’s strength is that it also offers dishes for when you want to eat a full meal, as well as sweets.
On May 4, the shop opens at 3:00 p.m. The next day, it will participate as a drinker at a Roppongi event, followed by a private booking at night, and it is scheduled to be closed on May 7. If there is a beer you are curious about, it is best to visit early.
