Anton Bee Ryudocho Branch Taps Three Kegs on the May 4 Holiday: Saison and TDH Hazy IPA
The CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Ryudocho branch in Roppongi opened at 2:00 p.m. for the May 4 holiday. It tapped NARA / FUNCTION, Sierra Nevada / Pils, and Isekadoya / Hat Trick, and lined up a total of 10 beers, including Memory Bouquet and Black Butte Porter.
Hop BroThe CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Ryudocho branch in Roppongi updated its taps for its May 4 holiday service. It has a lineup that you can really drink into from early afternoon, and it feels fully like Golden Week.
MugiWhoa! They’re really going all out for a holiday!? And opening at 2:00 p.m. means it practically exists for daytime drinking!
Hop BroExactly, and they added three new taps: NARA / FUNCTION, Sierra Nevada / Pils, and Isekadoya / Hat Trick. I like that they’re coming out of the gate with three beers that each have a very different character.
MugiSaison, pils, hazy IPA... suddenly there are too many terms and my head is floating! How are you supposed to drink according to the different styles?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, FUNCTION is a lively saison, with a light, expressive aroma. Pils is a crisp, easy-drinking lager, and Hat Trick is a hazy IPA packed with aroma thanks to triple dry hopping.
MugiTriple dry hopping means they add hops three times!? That’s basically an aroma mountain!
Hop BroExactly. And Isekadoya’s Memory Bouquet is an Italian pils, while Deschutes’ Black Butte Porter is there too, so it’s strong not just on aroma but also on roasted character.
MugiWow. And a lineup of 10 beers total is the kind of thing that’s fun before you even choose. Your personality might get exposed by what you pick first!
Hop BroPlus, since there’s an event at Midtown Garden two minutes away on foot, it’s perfect for a daytime drinking crawl. It’s easy to set up a flow like one drink inside, one drink outside.
MugiWait, and there’s even a white-wine-steamed dish with clams from shellfish digging and bamboo shoots? That’s not just beer, the snacks are way too springlike too!
Hop BroExactly. It’s the kind of day where spring snacks soak up saison, pils, and hazy IPA alike. It really feels like the right answer for Golden Week. I already want to raise a glass at Anton Bee today.
MugiYeah, I can’t hold back anymore! I want to choose right now whether to start with a saison or jump straight into a hazy!
The beer pub CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Ryudocho, located on the basement floor of 5-1-5 Roppongi, updated its tap list for its May 4 holiday service. In its post, it also mentioned that a beer event was being held at Midtown Garden, a two-minute walk away, and encouraged people to use the shop as a stop on a daytime drinking crawl.
Three new beers were tapped that day. NARA / FUNCTION is a saison, Sierra Nevada / Pils is a crisp lager, and Isekadoya / Hat Trick is a TDH Hazy IPA, creating a lineup that lets you enjoy a range of aromatic profiles. The shop described Pils as an easy-drinking lager, Hat Trick as a triple dry-hopped hazy IPA, and Function as a lively, expressive saison.

The holiday hours are 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., food until 9:00 p.m., and drinks until 9:30 p.m. It is shaping up to be a day when you can enjoy everything from saison and pils to hazy IPA and cider from the afternoon onward during Golden Week.
