Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae taps Shiokaze Blue Lab’s Senior Moment
In an August 1 Instagram post, Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae highlighted its current six-tap lineup, led by Shiokaze Blue Lab’s Hoppy Lager Senior Moment. The list also includes beers from U.B.P Brewing, Black Tide Brewing, Rio Brewing.Co, and open air brewing.
Hop BroToday's six taps in Ryogoku-Kuramae are looking serious. Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae just put Shiokaze Blue Lab's 'Senior Moment' on tap.
MugiWhat! Senior Moment is such a memorable name. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Hoppy Lager. You get lager crispness with extra hop aroma, and at 7% ABV it's refreshing but still has real drinking weight.
MugiOkay, but a crisp finish sounds mysterious. Does it disappear like a ninja after one sip?
Hop BroHonestly, kind of. It doesn't linger too sweet or heavy; it snaps clean. The post even framed it like a super-refreshing pilsner, so it's made for long gulps.
MugiAnd then I saw DDH Hazy DIPA on the list and thought the menu had turned into wizard homework.
Hop BroHere's the translation: DDH means a heavy extra hop charge, and Hazy DIPA means a cloudy, stronger IPA. Rio Brewing.Co's SOCIAL GRAVITY is basically maxed-out hop mode, so the aroma comes in hard.
MugiSo U.B.P Brewing brings an American IPA, Black Tide has both an IPA and a Hazy IPA, and open air brewing has a Fruited Wheat? That's an absurd range!
MugiAnd it's a neighborhood beer pub with oven-baked pizza, plus a West Coast Bwing tap takeover coming on August 22. That's a tasty schedule. I want this lineup immediately.
Hop BroSame here. I'd open with Senior Moment, run through the IPA lineup, then land softly on raspberry wheat. This is a drink-right-now list if I've ever seen one.
Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae updated its tap list in an Instagram post dated August 1.
The featured beer is `Senior Moment` from Shiokaze Blue Lab in Chiba. Listed as a Hoppy Lager, it is described in the post as having a sharply crisp finish and a super-refreshing pilsner-like character. At 7% ABV, it is presented as a beer that balances drinkability with enough weight to keep you engaged.
The day’s `TODAY'S ON TAP` lineup includes six beers:
- `Counter Attack!` / U.B.P Brewing (Saitama) / American IPA
- `Monster Gold` / Black Tide Brewing (Miyagi) / IPA
- `Hoya Boya ver. 5.3` / Black Tide Brewing (Miyagi) / Hazy IPA
- `SOCIAL GRAVITY` / Rio Brewing.Co (Chiba) / DDH Hazy DIPA
- `raspberry wheat` / open air brewing (Hyogo) / Fruited Wheat
- `Senior Moment` / Shiokaze Blue Lab (Chiba) / Hoppy Lager
The range runs from IPA and Hazy IPA to a DDH Hazy DIPA and a fruit-accented wheat beer, so the board is built for comparison as much as for drinking. Located in a residential pocket of Ryogoku/Kuramae, the bar pairs craft beer with kiln-baked pizza and works well as a place to settle in at the counter and work through the taps one by one.
The post also announces upcoming dates: a West Coast Bwing (Shizuoka) tap takeover on August 22, a yet-to-be-named brewery from Hyogo on September 12, a closed reservation-only can share night with a brewery from Kanagawa on September 26, and a tap takeover plus the bar’s second anniversary on October 11 with a brewery from Iwate.
For beer drinkers choosing by mood, the post gives a clear snapshot of what is pouring right now.
