GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido adds Shiga Kogen Beer's Shinshu Heian and Locobeer's Rocold IPA
GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS, a beer pub in Kameido, added Shiga Kogen Beer's "Shinshu Heian" and Locobeer's "Rocold IPA" on its August 7 tap update. The bar is open from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Friday, with fried food last orders at 9:00 p.m., and will be closed on Saturday.
Hop BroTonight’s topic is Kameido’s GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS pouring Shinshu Heion and Locold IPA at the same time.
MugiWhat! Those names are wild, and both are new taps too? I’m already invested.
Hop BroOne is Shiga Kogen Beer’s Shinshu Heion, an Apple IPA, and the other is Locobeer’s Locold IPA is a Cold IPA. That lineup is pretty slick.
MugiI can kind of picture Apple IPA, but what even is Cold IPA? Is it just an IPA served extra cold?
Hop BroNot quite. Think of it as a cleaner fermentation profile that makes the bitterness and hop character feel sharper and easier to drink.
MugiOhhh, so it sounds more like a crisp snappy IPA than a heavy one. I was imagining an IPA with an ice pack on its forehead.
Hop BroAnd GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS is a pub where fish and chips lead the show, so pairing these beers with fried food is basically the whole movie.
MugiA laid-back neighborhood pub with fried food and craft beer? That’s dangerous. My stomach and my throat both reacted at once.
Hop BroThey also mentioned a tap got kicked the night before, so these should feel especially fresh. Friday, August 7 from 5 to 11 PM is the move, with fried food last call at 9 PM, and they’re closed Saturday, August 8.
MugiThen we need to move fast. Tonight is a Kameido night. I want to sip Shinshu Heion first, then finish with a crisp hit from Locold IPA.
Tap list
In its August 7 post, GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS announced two new taps under `NEW TAP & REAL ALE`: Shiga Kogen Beer's "Shinshu Heian" and Locobeer's "Rocold IPA". The post notes the former as "Shinshu Jihen" renamed to "Heian". It also labels the latter as `SP.IPA`, and the beer itself is a Cold IPA, making this a lineup with both familiarity and a crisp, modern edge.
About the bar
GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS is a Kameido beer pub built around fish and chips and a rotating beer list. It is the kind of place where the day's taps are part of the rhythm of service, and the post's note about recently kicking a keg suggests a fresh switch-over. If you want a straightforward, food-friendly beer stop in eastern Tokyo, this is exactly the sort of bar that makes sense.
Friday hours are 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with fried food last orders at 9:00 p.m. The bar is closed on Saturday, so Friday night is the time to catch these two beers.
