Hop BroOn June 29, Kameido’s GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS tapped Minoh Beer’s STOUT.
MugiWhat, that name alone makes me hungry! What kind of tiny Kameido beer pub is it?
Hop BroIt’s a bright little place with a big single-slab counter and 4 to 5 Japanese craft beers on draft. The signature is herb-battered fish and chips, and they fry it in olive oil too.
MugiNo way, so this is basically a live demo of dark beer and fried food being best friends?
Hop BroThis post introduced the Minoh Beer STOUT as NEW REAL ALE. You can expect roasted malt and a firm, cozy body.
MugiHold on, what is real ale? That sounds like a final-boss beer!
Hop BroBasically, instead of cranking up the carbonation, it lets the beer’s cask-grown character come through softly. So you get gentle natural carbonation and the roasted grain shows up more clearly.
MugiOhhh, got it! Less fizzy, more depth, and with fish it sounds like an instant trip to Britain in your mouth!
Hop BroThe practical updates are solid too: closed on June 30, weekday fried-food last order moves to 9 p.m. from July 1, and there’s even a DD4D TTO coming on July 11.
Hop BroAnd that note about attending a Yamabushi seminar from Shiga Kogen Beer is nice too. It shows they really value that closeness to brewers.
MugiA place like that earns my trust fast! I’m fully in need a dark pint now mode.
Hop BroThen it’s settled. Kameido, STOUT and fish and chips, that’s the right answer today.
At GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido, Tokyo, beer drinkers can usually find 4 to 5 Japanese craft beers on draft at this bright, counter-focused pub. The shop pairs that lineup with its signature herb-battered fish & chips, fried in olive oil, making it an easy place to visit when you want both food and beer in one stop.
In its June 29 post, the shop announced a new real ale: `STOUT` from Minoh Beer. The beer was set to go on once it was ready to serve. For fans of darker beers, that points to a malt-forward pint with roast character and enough body to stand up well to fried food.
The same post also included a few operating notes. The shop said it would be closed on June 30, and that from July 1 the last order for fried items on weekdays would change to 9:00 p.m. It also mentioned a DD4D tap takeover planned for July 11, while noting that the staff would be heading to a Yamabushi seminar at Shiga Kogen Beer.
If you are looking for a black real ale in Kameido, or simply a place where fish & chips and Japanese craft beer make sense together, this is one to keep on your radar.
