Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand posts an eight-beer tap list for July 21
The Bunkyo-ku Komagome brewpub shared its July 21 service hours and updated tap board. Eight house beers are pouring, spanning Belgian-leaning ales, pilsner, IPA, gose, bitter, hazy IPA, and stout.
Hop BroToday's headline is eight house taps at Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand. In Honkomagome, they're pouring eight of their own beers from 5:00 to 11:00 p.m. on July 21.
MugiEight house brews!? In Bunkyo? That sounds less like a tap list and more like an after-work amusement park.
Hop BroFrom Sauvin Belgo to Kurogarasu #4, the range is huge: Belgian styles, pilsner, IPA, gose, bitter, and stout. Eight of the ten tap slots were actually filled.
MugiHold on, Italian Pilsner? Is that a pilsner that wants pasta on the side?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. Ryusui Soso #2 is a 5.5% Italian Pilsner, basically a crisp lager with an extra lift of hop aroma. Clean, but still fragrant.
MugiOoh, crisp but aromatic. That sounds like the perfect first glass.
Hop BroThen comes Mashup IPA Ekuanot. It's a 6.5% Belgian IPA with a dry finish and layers of mango, berry, and citrus on top.
MugiDry finish sounds like brewer wizardry. You mean it's not sweet and heavy, and the aroma snaps into focus?
Hop BroExactly. Then Rolling Lolly is a 7.5% American IPA, and EL BAMP HAZY is a 7% Hazy IPA, so double IPA coverage is very deliberate. Bitter-edge fans and juicy-hop fans both win.
MugiAnd there's Pineapple Gose too? Salty, tart, fruity... my mouth just put on a summer festival yukata.
Hop BroYou can even slot in Komagome Best Bitter at 4.5%, then finish with Kurogarasu #4, a Belgian stout, for the ideal drinking order. That list is practical and playful at the same time.
MugiThat's it, I need a pint. Let's head for the south side of Komagome Station and work through Hinomoto's tap list properly.
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Motokomagome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, posted its July 21 (Tue) service hours of 5:00-11:00 p.m. and updated the day's tap list. The board has 10 slots, but 8 are actually pouring beers, giving the pub a broad lineup that runs from Belgian-leaning ales and pilsner to IPA, gose, bitter, hazy IPA, and stout.
On tap that day
- Sauvin Belgo / American Belgo Style Ale, 6%
- Ryusui Soso #2 / Italian Pilsner, 5.5%
- Mashup IPA Ekuanot / Belgian IPA, 6.5%
- Rolling Lolly / American IPA, 7.5%
- Pineapple Gose / Gose Style with pineapple, 5%
- Komagome Best Bitter / English Best Bitter, 4.5%
- EL BAMP HAZY / Hazy IPA, 7%
- Kurotobi #4 / Belgian Stout, 7%
Among them, Mashup IPA Ekuanot was introduced as a dry beer with mango, berry, and citrus notes, making it a good pick for hop-driven drinkers. The progression also works well for a session: start with the crisp pilsner, move through the hop-forward IPA, and finish with the Belgian stout.
The venue sits on the first floor in the Motokomagome 5-chome area, within walking distance of Komagome. With weekday hours from 5 p.m., weekend and holiday openings from 3 p.m., and Wednesdays off, it fits naturally as a place to focus on beer itself rather than a full dining experience.
