Minnanocraft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae lines up six taps led by Revo Brewing
In a July 9 post, Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae shared a note on last month’s sales and published its current tap list. The lineup is led by five beers from Revo Brewing, plus one beer from Craft Bank.
Hop BroThe July 9 post from Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae dropped a six-tap lineup, and it's a strong one.
MugiWait, so it's basically a Revo Brewing party? Now I'm curious why it isn't all six!
Hop BroThat's the fun part: it's five Revo beers plus one Craft Bank pour, EL CLASICO, slipped into the mix.
MugiWhoa! But NZ Pilsner? What is that supposed to mean?
Hop BroNOMITSUKUSE is a pilsner built around New Zealand hops, so it stays crisp but throws off bright citrus and herbal aromas.
MugiThen Yokohama Iekei IPA is not ramen-flavored, right? My brain went straight to noodles!
Hop BroNo ramen broth here. It's a Hazy IPA with a juicy, thick mouthfeel; OceaniaIPA is the West Coast IPA for firm bitterness, and UMAIZEN is their Energy Weizen with soft wheat character.
MugiHold on, Energy Weizen sounds like one sip and I start hovering over the station platform!
Hop BroThe name is wild, but it's still proper beer. Think gentle wheat-beer softness and maybe banana-like yeast notes. Then EL CLASICO gives you a fruity saison twist, and SMALL TRIP is a clean closer.
MugiAnd the spot sits between Ryogoku and Kuramae, so it's easy to drop in. With the July 11 Revo tap takeover, more dates on August 22 and September 12, plus CAN SHARE NIGHT on September 26, I kind of want to support them by drinking.
Hop BroEven with tough sales and a menu rethink, they're keeping the fun intact. At this point I'm ready for a full tasting flight, even if I pretend I'm only stopping for one.
A look at the current lineup
On July 9, Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae posted an update about a tough sales month while also sharing what is on tap now. Rather than leaning on hype, the bar emphasized steady adjustments to the menu and a continued focus on what makes craft beer enjoyable.
What is pouring
The tap list for the day features six beers: five from `Revo Brewing` in Kanagawa and one from `Craft Bank` in Kyoto. The selection covers a wide range of styles, from IPA and pilsner to saison.
- `OceaniaIPA` / `Revo Brewing` / West Coast IPA
- `NOMITSUKUSE` / `Revo Brewing` / NZ Pilsner
- `横浜家系IPA` / `Revo Brewing` / Hazy IPA
- `UMAIZEN` / `Revo Brewing` / Energy Weizen
- `EL CLASICO` / `Craft Bank` / Fruited Saison
- `SMALL TRIP` / `Revo Brewing` / Saison
If you want hop-forward bitterness, `OceaniaIPA` is the obvious pick. If you prefer something crisp and easygoing, `NOMITSUKUSE` fits the bill. For a fuller, juicier profile, `横浜家系IPA` stands out. The lineup also gives drinkers a wheat-beer option in `UMAIZEN`, a fruit-accented saison in `EL CLASICO`, and a clean closing beer in `SMALL TRIP`.
Why this bar matters
The bar is a beer pub in Ishihara, Sumida Ward, positioned between the Ryogoku and Kuramae areas of Tokyo. That location makes it an easy stop for a single pint after work or a relaxed tasting session with friends.
The post also points to upcoming events, including a `Revo Brewing TAP TAKEOVER` on July 11, followed by additional takeover dates on August 22 and September 12, plus a `CAN SHARE NIGHT` on September 26.
Bottom line
Even with a difficult month behind it, the bar is pushing forward with a lineup that gives beer fans clear choices and a strong reason to stop by in Ryogoku/Kuramae.
