Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand lines up nine beers on tap for June 19
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome updated its June 19 tap list, putting nine house beers across a wide range of styles on tap, from Belgian-leaning ales and hoppy IPAs to a Belgian stout.
Hop BroToday's spotlight is Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand. They’ve got nine house brews filling nine of the ten taps, so it’s basically a full brewery showcase.
MugiWhat! It’s like the whole cast showed up? Citrus, hoppy stuff, and even stout all on one list is way too stacked!
Hop BroThe first one that jumps out is Sauvin Belgo. It’s a 6% American Belgo Style Ale, and it sounds like the kind of beer that pulls you in with white grape-like aroma.
MugiOkay but what is Belgo? It sounds powerful. Am I going to transform if I drink it!?
Hop BroNo transformation, just better mood. Belgian yeast brings a spicy character, and when that meets Sauvin-style white grape notes from the hops, you get something bright but still crisp.
MugiOoh! Then Pe Pe Pe is calling my name too! A 5.5% Norwegian Pale Ale already sounds cheerful before I even taste it!
Hop BroThat one uses Norwegian yeast, which is fun because fermentation character can really stand out. In plain terms, it’s a pale ale with extra personality right out of the gate.
MugiNo way! Fermentation character sounds like a science lab phrase, but somehow you made it sound delicious instead of scary!
Hop BroAnd if you want bitterness, there’s Seiten Raimei #2, a 7.5% West Coast IPA. If you want something lighter, the new Ryusui Soso #2 is an Italian Pilsner, and Yunosu Saison covers the tart yuzu lane.
MugiThen you’ve also got Komagome Brown and Best Bitter for the malt side, and Kurotobi #4 as a Belgian Stout to close? I need a drinking order chart!
Hop BroAnd don’t forget EL BAMP HAZY, so hop lovers are covered too. It’s walkable from Komagome Station’s south exit, and on Fridays they’re open until 11 p.m., which is perfect for a slow beer night.
MugiThen I’m starting with Yunosu Saison, hitting Seiten Raimei #2 in the middle, and finishing with Kurotobi #4 for an all-in-one tap crawl. Now I seriously want to go drink there!
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand, a brewpub in Honkomagome, Bunkyo Ward, updated its June 19 service information. The taproom opens at 5 p.m. on weekdays and stays open until 11 p.m. on Fridays. It is a neighborhood spot within walking distance of Komagome Station, built around beer rather than a full dining program.
For this service, 9 of the 10 tap slots are filled, creating a lineup with a clear range of flavors and styles.
- `Sauvin Belgo` (American Belgo Style Ale, 6%)
- `ぺーぺーぺー` (Norwegian Pale Ale, 5.5%)
- `晴天雷鳴 #2` (West Coast IPA, 7.5%)
- `(NEW) 流水草々 #2` (Italian Pilsner, 5.5%)
- `Yunosu Saison` (Yuzu Sour Saison, 6%)
- `駒込Brown` (Brown Saison, 6%)
- `駒込Best Bitter` (English Best Bitter, 4.5%)
- `EL BAMP HAZY` (Hazy IPA, 7%)
- `黒鳶 #4` (Belgian Stout, 7%)
`Sauvin Belgo` should appeal to drinkers looking for a white-grape-like hop character, while `ぺーぺーぺー` brings a Norwegian yeast profile into a pale ale framework. `晴天雷鳴 #2` gives the list a firmly bitter IPA option, and `流水草々 #2` offers a crisp Italian pilsner for anyone who wants something lighter and sharper.
The lineup also includes more malt-forward choices such as `駒込Brown` and `駒込Best Bitter`, plus `EL BAMP HAZY` for hop-driven haze and `黒鳶 #4` for a Belgian stout finish. In other words, it is a list that can carry a full session from the first pint to the last.
As a brewpub focused on craft beer, it works best as a place to slow down and follow the tap list itself. For beer drinkers in Tokyo who want to check a local brewer’s current lineup on a summer Friday, it is an easy one to keep in mind.
