Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand lists nine house beers on June 5, with weekend POP-UPs
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome posted a June 5 tap update with nine beers on the board, including Sauvin Belgo, Seiten Raimei #2, and the new Ryūsui Sōsō #2. Weekend POP-UPs add food from Coffee Folk and a lampredotto special from brewer Tamura.
Hop BroKomagome’s Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand updated its taps on June 5, and there are nine house-brewed beers lined up. Sauvin Belgo, Seiten Raimei #2, and even the new Ryusui Soso #2 are on, so this is a seriously strong lineup.
MugiWait, nine house brews? In a brewpub? That’s the kind of menu that makes my beginner brain raise a toast before I do!
Hop BroThe range is wild. Sauvin Belgo is an American Belgo Style Ale, Seiten Raimei #2 is a West Coast IPA, and Ryusui Soso #2 is an Italian Pilsner, with Yunosu Saison and Kurotobi #4 right behind them.
MugiHold on, Italian Pilsner? What is that? A pilsner you’re supposed to drink next to pasta?
Hop BroEasy mistake. Think pilsner crispness plus dry hopping for a floral aroma, so it stays snappy and bitter but opens up in the nose.
MugiOhhh! Then Yunosu Saison must be the refreshing one, right? A yuzu sour saison sounds like summer vacation inside a glass!
Hop BroExactly. The yuzu acidity should pop, Komagome Brown is a Brown Saison, Komagome Best Bitter sits at 4.5%, and the fun is comparing the aroma and body from one pour to the next.
MugiAnd the article says there’s a weekend pop-up too? So they’re not just filling glasses, they’re scheduling my stomach!
Hop BroOn Saturday, June 6, there’s a Coffee Folk spin-off with a European-style beef curry snack, and on Sunday, June 7, brewer Tamura is doing lampredotto, so the food range is almost as broad as the taps.
MugiWhat is this, a trap for my self-control? Kurotobi #4 sounds great with rich food, and I want to test Seiten Raimei #2 too. My tasting fantasy is out of control!
Hop BroThey’re open 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and closed Wednesdays, so we should time it right. Start with Ryusui Soso #2, then move to Seiten Raimei #2. The crawl order practically picks itself.
MugiThat settles it, I want to head to Komagome right now. The beer and the food both sound too good, and now I need to taste Hinomoto’s current lineup for myself!
At its brewpub on the first floor of Greenpia Honkomagome in Bunkyo, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand updated the tap list on June 5. Weekdays run from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., with Wednesdays closed. The place keeps the focus on craft beer; regular food is limited to snacks such as kaki-pi and dagashi.
The board shows nine beers:
- Sauvin Belgo / American Belgo Style Ale, 6%
- ぺーぺーぺー / Norwegian Pale Ale, 5.5%
- 晴天雷鳴 #2 / West Coast IPA, 7.5%
- 流水草々 #2 / Italian Pilsner, 5.5%
- Yunosu Saison / Yuzu Sour Saison, 6%
- 駒込Brown / Brown Saison, 6%
- 駒込Best Bitter / English Best Bitter, 4.5%
- EL BAMP HAZY / Hazy IPA, 7%
- 黒鳶 #4 / Belgian Stout, 7%
The lineup spans Belgian-inspired ale, pale ale, West Coast IPA, Italian pilsner, saison, hazy IPA, and Belgian stout, making it easy to move between lighter pours and fuller-bodied options in one visit. Weekend POP-UPs add food: a limited beef curry snack version from nearby Coffee Folk on June 6, and a brewer Tamura special, lampredotto, on June 7.
The post also lists more dates later in the month, including a talk event on June 9, a potato hot dog on June 14, and a seasonal tapas series on June 27 and 28. For beer fans in Komagome, the appeal is straightforward: a brewery-led tap list, small-scale food events, and a neighborhood brewpub that keeps its focus on the beer.
