Ant'n Bee Roppongi announces four new taps and 11 beers on July 22
Craft Beer Ant'n Bee Roppongi, a basement beer pub in central Roppongi, posted four new pours on July 22, led by Founders' All Day IPA and Karuizawa Q's MINAWA, alongside an 11-beer tap lineup and two new snacks.
Hop BroToday's topic is Anton Bee Roppongi, the basement beer pub in Roppongi that tapped four new kegs on July 22 and lined up 11 draft options, and the list is seriously strong.
MugiWait, four fresh tappings in one day? My casual after-work drink just turned into an amusement park!
Hop BroFirst up, Founders' All Day IPA is a session IPA: lower in alcohol, still nicely hoppy, and built for long easy drinking.
MugiHold on, session IPA? What is that? It sounds like an IPA you drink while taking meeting minutes!
Hop BroIt sounds formal, but it really means a low-ABV easy sipper with enough hop aroma to stay fun from the first glass to the second.
Hop BroThen there's Karuizawa Q's MINAWA, a juicy IPA with peach-like fruit character, the kind that screams summer the second you smell it.
MugiNo way, a peachy IPA? That's like the fruit section and the tap line shaking hands. I want a glass already!
Hop BroThey also have OK,ADAM's HALU cider with a clean acidity, and Stigbergets' American Pale Ale leaning hazy with a juicy finish, so you can wander beyond beer if the mood hits.
MugiThat leaning hazy part lost me for a second. Are we describing a beer or the weather forecast?
Hop BroHazy usually means softness from suspended particles and a more expansive aroma, so the shortcut is a juicy soft mouthfeel.
MugiAnd on top of that, they have Ushitora's summer mikan sour, Swan Lake porter, and snacks like green chili tofu plus perilla-wrapped meat? The snack department is overachieving!
Hop BroWith 11 drafts spanning beer, sour, and cider, plus weekday hours from 5 p.m., that Roppongi basement feels dangerously easy to fall into tonight.
MugiDone, I'm in. I want to go now and start with All Day IPA, swing to MINAWA, then finish with HALU and a plate of snacks.
July 22 tap list
Craft Beer Ant'n Bee Roppongi, located at 5-1-5 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, B1F, is a beer pub serving craft beer and cider on draft. In the post for July 22, the bar also noted weekday hours of 17:00-24:00, with food last order at 23:00 and drinks last order at 23:30, making it an easy stop after work.
Four beers were newly opened that day. Founders' `All Day IPA` was described as a low-alcohol, easy-drinking session IPA. Karuizawa Q's `MINAWA` was presented as a juicy IPA with peach-like fruit character. OK,ADAM's `HALU` was listed as a cider with a clean acidity. Stigbergets' `American Pale Ale` rounded out the new lineup with a hazy, juicy drink profile.
Other beers on tap
The tap list also included Ushitora `Kiraboshi☆Natsu Mikan Sour`, Swan Lake `Crystal Ale` and `Porter`, Black Tide `Ajisai`, Tsugaru `Arigatou! Lager`, Embolden `Shogun Summer in Ryukyu`, and Graft Cider `Lost Tropic`. Beer, sour ale, and cider all sat on the same counter, which is one of the bar's defining strengths.
New snacks
Two new food items were added as well: `Aojao Tofu` and `Pork-Wrapped Egoma`. Both dishes use ingredients the owner brought back from Kujukuri, including egoma leaves and Nikko green chili peppers. The result is a lineup that pairs cleanly with the tap list: quick snacks, fuller flavors, and a basement beer bar setting that works well for a relaxed stop in Roppongi.
