The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho Pours Three Limited IPAs Starting June 5
The Cat & Cask Tavern in Tokyo's Kanamecho has posted its June 5 tap list. The lineup features Minoh Kozaru IPA, Yokohama Pub Crawl IPA, and Brimmer Brewing Hazy IPA, while cask ale is on hold. Hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Kanamecho’s The Cat & Cask Tavern, where three limited IPAs are pouring from June 5.
MugiWhat! Three at once? The Cat & Cask Tavern already sounds serious. What kind of place is it?
Hop BroIt’s a British-style house pub, and its charm is a quiet, relaxed atmosphere with three hand-pump taps and three draft taps.
MugiHang on, three hand-pump taps suddenly sounded like a pub sommelier exam!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a way of serving beer with gentler carbonation, so you get a softer mouthfeel in the glass.
MugiOooh! So even IPAs can feel really different. And the star this time is Minoh Kozaru IPA, right?
Hop BroExactly. It’s limited and on a fresh keg, so you can expect that just-opened hop aroma right away.
MugiFresh keg is dangerously convincing! Then what’s the role of Yokohama Pub Crawl IPA?
Hop BroThe name alone makes you want to bar-hop. Plus Brimmer Brewing’s Hazy IPA is on too, so it’s easy to compare aroma and texture.
MugiHazy means the cloudy one, right? A comparison-friendly lineup is perfect for a beginner like me!
Hop BroRight, usually cloudier and juicier in feel. This time the ale is paused, so it’s an all-IPA lineup, which is pretty fun.
MugiOpen Wednesday to Saturday from 6 to 10 p.m.? That is such a post-work beer plan and I fully approve.
Hop BroFood last order is 9 p.m., beer last order is 9:30, and groups are capped at four, so now I want a slow few pours myself.
MugiThat’s it, I’m finished, my stomach isn’t growling, my hops are! Give me the three-IPAs lineup in order!

For June 5, the venue is focusing on three limited IPAs, and cask ale is currently off. The list gives beer drinkers a straightforward chance to compare hop character, aroma, and body across different breweries. The Minoh Kozaru IPA is marked as a fresh cask pour, which should make it especially interesting for anyone who likes to catch a beer near the start of its run.
The pub is open Wednesday through Saturday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Food last order is 9:00 p.m., and beer last order is 9:30 p.m. Groups are limited to four people per party, and payment is cash on delivery. It is the kind of room where you can settle in, drink deliberately, and stay focused on the pint rather than the noise.
