Ant'n Bee Ryudocho lines up 11 taps on July 25
On July 25, Ant'n Bee Ryudocho in Roppongi added Nara's LOCOMOTION and Brasserie Knot's AWA to the board. The 11-tap lineup spanned IPA, Helles, cider, sour beer, and more, making it an easy daytime stop in the basement-level beer pub.
Hop BroAt CRAFT BEER Antonby in Roppongi, the Ryudocho spot came in hot on July 25 with 11 taps today.
MugiWhat! It's great for day drinking and still has 11 taps? That's the kind of Saturday that destroys self-control.
Hop BroThe two new pours are the real hook: Nara's Locomotion is a tropical IPA, and Brasserie Knot's Awa is a fruity Helles lager.
MugiWait, a Helles lager? Is that a beer style or a spell from wizard school?
Hop BroDefinitely a beer. Helles is basically a gentle golden lager: crisp, easy, and a little softly sweet from the malt.
MugiNo way! So I can go tropical with Locomotion and then relax with Awa? That's ridiculous range for one stop!
Hop BroAnd it doesn't stop there. Noble's Pineapple Cider, Ushitora's summer mikan sour, and Black Tide's Ajisai mean the tart side is loaded too.
MugiIPA, Helles, cider, and sour? That's basically a flavor summer festival! Also, 'session IPA' and 'saison' still sound like exam questions.
Hop BroThink of session IPA as a lighter IPA. Founders All Day IPA still gives you hops, but it stays easy enough for daytime drinking.
MugiWow, open from 2 p.m. to midnight, and there are even prizes arriving for the 7th anniversary Little Summer Festival? That's dangerously inviting.
Hop BroI'm ready to drink already, and this is the perfect first bar stop: start with Awa, move to Locomotion, then reset with Pineapple Cider.
MugiThat's it, I'm done pretending to be calm. I want to head straight downstairs and order Locomotion right now!
Tap list for July 25
On Saturday, July 25, Ant'n Bee Ryudocho ran a 14:00-24:00 schedule. As a basement beer pub in Roppongi, it offered a broad tap list built around draft craft beer and cider.
Two new kegs were tapped that day. Nara's LOCOMOTION was described as a tropical IPA with a hop-forward character. Brasserie Knot's AWA was a fruity Helles lager with a gentle sweetness. The pair gave drinkers an easy choice between a bright lager and a more aromatic IPA.
The rest of the board covered a wide range: Noble Pineapple Cider, Karuizawa Q MINAWA (Juicy IPA), Founders All Day IPA (Session IPA), Stigbergets American Pale Ale, OK,ADAM HALU (Cider), Ushitora Kiraboshi☆Natsu Mikan Sour, Swan Lake Crystal Ale, Swan Lake Porter, and Black Tide Ajisai (Blueberry Saison).
That mix of cider, sour ale, lager, and multiple IPA-adjacent options made the lineup feel intentionally varied rather than repetitive. It is the kind of board that works both for focused tasting and for a casual long session.
The post also noted that prizes for the bar's 7th-anniversary celebration had started to arrive, ahead of a "small summer festival" planned for July 31 to August 2. With an approachable atmosphere, Roppongi Station access, and food ranging from small bites to fuller plates, the place is set up for everything from a quick daytime pint to a longer evening stop.
