Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae announced that it has added a smoking area next to the outdoor entrance. In the post, it also revealed the day’s six-item tap list and said it would be waiting in Ryogoku that night with beer and pizza.
Hop BroMinna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae announced that it had added a smoking area outdoors, and on top of that it put out six draft beers for the day.
MugiWait, what?! So much going on!? Six draft beers sounds like enough to make you tipsy just deciding what to order!
Hop BroThe lineup is interesting too: an IPA from Black Tide Brewing, a Dry Hop Saison from Kaigan Brewery, and even a Hazy IPA from Open Air Brewing, so it’s a really broad mix.
MugiHold on, what’s dry hop? Is that like drying the hops and making them into dried fish?
Hop BroNot quite dried fish. It’s a method of adding hops during or after fermentation to really bring out the aroma. That’s why you can enjoy a saison focused on aroma like Tsuchigumo 土蜘蛛.
MugiOhhh! Then I’m curious about Banana Kick’s banana weizen too! Does it really taste like banana, not banana-flavored candy?
Hop BroExactly. Weizen yeast can produce a banana-like aroma. And with Neo Sakuya’s use of yuzu and hibiscus, they’re really good at playing with aroma.
MugiThat’s the kind of beer that makes you want snacks too! And you can drink it with pizza? That’s basically a win, right?
Hop BroThe shop is in a residential area in Ishihara, Sumida Ward, so I like that they’re clearly asking people to be considerate of nearby residents. Balancing freedom and manners is important.
MugiAnd there are events on June 13 and June 27 too!? Tap takeovers are basically a reason to keep coming back!
Hop BroExactly. With CRAFT BANK and WCB nights waiting too, it makes you want to head to Ryogoku-Kuramae and create a night of beer comparison tasting.
MugiYeah, I’m completely on board now! Tonight, I want to wait around with beer and pizza too!
Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae announced on Instagram that it had installed a smoking area outdoors. The shop is a beer pub in Ishihara, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, and because it sits in a residential neighborhood, the post also called on customers to be considerate of nearby residents and to follow the rules.
What stands out in this announcement is the six-beer lineup listed as “TODAY'S ON TAP.” The draft beers are as follows:
- Second Breath / Black Tide Brewing (Miyagi) / IPA
- Tsuchigumo 土蜘蛛 / Kaigan Brewery (Chiba) / Dry Hop Saison
- warm up / Open Air Brewing (Hyogo) / Hazy IPA
- ŌGAMA 大蝦蟇 / Kaigan Brewery (Chiba) / Hazy IPA
- Banana Kick / Nomcraft Brewing (Wakayama) / Banana Weizen
- Neo Sakuya / Kaigan Brewery (Chiba) / Hibiscus Yuzu Lager
From IPA to saison, hazy IPA, banana weizen, and even a lager made with hibiscus and yuzu, the range of styles is especially broad that day. It is set up so that people who want to enjoy hop bitterness and those looking for a fruity drinking profile can easily compare beers at the same table.
The post emphasized that a smoking area outdoors had been prepared rather than one inside the shop, making it clear that the bar wants to maintain a comfortable smoking environment while still asking people to use it in a way that does not bother those around them. Preserving the freedom of a craft beer bar while running it with the neighborhood in mind seems very much in keeping with this place.
Looking ahead, the shop also announced June 13: “CRAFT BANK TAP TAKEOVER,” June 27: “WCB CAN SHARE NIGHT,” and tap takeover events on July 11 and August 22. Rather than just a routine daily tap update, it is also appealing as a place to enjoy beers in an event-style setting.
For anyone in the Ryogoku/Kuramae area who wants to take their time trying craft beer on tap and pair it with pizza, this is a spot worth checking out.
