CRAFT BEER Ant'n Bee Roppongi taps 10 Barrel's Apocalypse IPA and Nova Paka's Broucek Lager
On June 15, the basement beer pub CRAFT BEER Ant'n Bee Roppongi tapped 10 Barrel's Apocalypse IPA and Nova Paka's Broucek Lager. The board spans 10 drinks in total, ranging from IPA and Hazy IPA to cider, gose, saison, dark lager and pale ale.
Hop BroThere’s a party brewing under Roppongi tonight: CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi is pouring 10 taps and keeping the fun going late on a weekday.
MugiWait, late-night Roppongi beer? Ten beers on tap sounds like the kind of menu that makes my eyes panic in a good way!
Hop BroThe headline pour is 10 Barrel’s Apocalypse IPA, a classic IPA with real bitterness. Then there’s Nova Paka’s Broucek Lager, which brings soft drinkability and that Czech-style malt character.
MugiThat name sounds intense already... serious bitterness for a beginner? Is my tongue going to file a complaint?
Hop BroI could start ranting about IBU, but the short version is clean-cut bitterness that tightens up the finish. It’s not just heavy for the sake of it.
MugiIBU?! What is that, a pop quiz? Tightens up the finish sounds useful, but also weirdly like beer is judging me.
Hop BroIBU is just a bitterness scale. Higher usually means more bitter, but balance matters too. That’s why Broucek Lager’s soft easy finish makes it a smart first glass.
MugiOhhh, so cautious drinkers can start with lager, and chaos goblins can dive into IPA. And if it runs from cider to dark lager, nobody gets left out.
Hop BroExactly. Rivision’s Disco Ninja is a Hazy IPA, KCBC’s Vicious Crush is a Watermelon Gose, and Karuizawa Q brings a Saison w/ Oak, so the range is wild in the best way.
MugiHold on, hazy, gose, oak? This is a jargon speedrun and my brain is turning into foam!
Hop BroSimple version: hazy means cloudy and aromatic, gose is lightly salty and refreshing, and oak adds a wood-like nuance. In other words, a perfect tasting lineup.
MugiThat actually sounds amazing. A B1F pub in Roppongi open till midnight on weekdays? One after-work pint suddenly feels like premium self-care.
Hop BroIt works for a small tasting session or a group hang, and honestly I want Apocalypse IPA next to Broucek Lager for a two-beer personality test.
MugiExactly! I’ll warm up with the lager and sprint into the IPA after that. I seriously want to go now!
On June 15, CRAFT BEER Ant'n Bee Roppongi opened with two fresh taps: 10 Barrel's 'Apocalypse IPA' and Nova Paka's 'Broucek Lager'. The former is described as a firm, properly bitter IPA, while the latter is a mellow Czech-style lager with a soft malt profile.

- Cogg's Cidre / Ohrin 2025 (Cider)

- Onidensetsu / KINNNONI Pale Ale Simcoe
- Ushitora / Chobi Hige IPA

Set in a B1F space in Roppongi, the pub is also practical for an after-work stop. Weekday hours run until midnight, with food last order at 23:00 and drinks at 23:30. A party plan is also available, so it works for both a casual tasting night and a small gathering.
