Sports&DiningBar RAVENS in Akabane, Tokyo, updated its business information for Wednesday, March 11. It will be open from 17:00 to 26:00 (LO25:00) and is introducing four new arrivals from Knee Deep Brewing. Along with its standard taps, the lineup is IPA-focused and easy to compare side by side.
Hop BroToday’s highlight is the four new taps at RAVENS in Akabane! On Wednesday, March 11, it’s open from 17:00 to 26:00 (LO25:00), and they’ve got a big Knee Deep Brewing lineup on deck.
MugiWhat! Open until 2 a.m. is seriously strong, isn’t it? That’s the kind of place you can still make it to after work with no problem!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is solid. It’s four Knee Deep beers: 916bonde at 4.5%, slooow mo IPA at 6.5%, folsom haze IPA at 6.7%, and deep haze IPA at 6.5%.
MugiWhat is that! It says there’s a hazy-leaning flow, but hazy just means cloudy, right? Like the weather?
Hop BroGood question. Hazy isn’t just about appearance. It’s an IPA style that emphasizes juicy aroma and makes the bitterness feel softer. The hop character tends to bring out tropical notes.
MugiOhhh, so starting light and then moving up through the IPAs sounds fun. Having 4.5% to 6.7% laid out like steps makes it really easy to get!
Hop BroExactly. That setup makes it easy to do a hop character comparison. You can follow the aroma, bitterness, and mouthfeel in order.
MugiAnd it’s not just Knee Deep either, they even have Moretti and Shiro-honoka too, which helps a lot! Even if my friend doesn’t like IPAs, we can still go together~.
Hop BroExactly. One of Sports&DiningBar RAVENS’ strengths is that you can enjoy sports and craft beer at the same time. Being close to the station makes it convenient for either a first stop or a second stop.
MugiIt’s decided! Tonight we’re doing an IPA tasting night in Akabane. I want to start with 916bonde and finish with deep haze!
Sports&DiningBar RAVENS (1F Akabane Plaza Hotel, 1-9-12 Akabane Minami, Kita-ku, Tokyo) posted its business information for Wednesday, March 11 on Instagram. Hours are 17:00 to 26:00 (LO25:00). True to the bar’s style, where you can enjoy sports viewing and craft beer at the same time, it is set up for a full stay from weeknight evenings into the late-night hours.
The main point of interest in this post is the four Knee Deep Brewing beers announced as new arrivals.
- 916bonde (4.5%)
- slooow mo IPA (6.5%)
- folsom haze IPA (6.7%)
- deep haze IPA (6.5%)
All of them are built to highlight hop character, and the key appeal is that you can work your way through the range from a lighter pour to hazier styles. The alcohol levels also vary, making it easy to start with a restrained first beer and then layer on IPAs after that.
In addition, the tap list includes Moretti, Shiro-honoka, and O,haras 51st state IPA. By mixing imported and domestic beers, RAVENS offers options even when preferences differ among the people you are with, which is one of its strengths.
For anyone wanting to spend the night in Akabane around craft beer, this new tap lineup is well worth checking out. In a station-area location that combines the openness of a sports bar with the selection of a beer pub, it is an easy spot to use for anything from an after-work drink to a late second stop.
