The brewpub Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome, Tokyo, has published its business information and tap list for April 17. With 10 beers on offer, ranging from its regular house brews to a collaboration with Sanriku Beer, it stands out as an easy place to stop by on a weekday starting at 5 p.m.
Hop BroTokyo's Honkomagome 10 house-brewed taps, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand, has posted its tap list for Friday, April 17. The nice thing is how easy it is to stop by after work on a weekday.
MugiWhat! It opens at 5 p.m. on weekdays!? That's basically the kind of place telling you, "Today is a day you can go drinking!"
Hop BroAnd the lineup is good. It includes Kohatu Pale Ale, dry-hopped DH Red Ale, and Sauvin Belgo Brut, clearly aiming to show off the balance of hop aroma and malt.
MugiWait, what's dry hopping? I hear it's a technique that adds aroma, but is it like putting flowers on the beer afterward?
Hop BroIn short, it's a method of adding hops after the boil to bring out aroma. So DH Red Ale is basically a red beer with a strong aroma.
MugiWhoa! And Yunosu Saison has yuzu in it!? It sounds refreshing, and the name alone already makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroExactly. The yuzu's brightness pairs well with the saison's light, lively character. There's also place-named beer like Komagome Brown and Komagome Best Bitter, so the shop's personality really comes through.
MugiOnce a place name is attached, I get attached to it too! And there are even Sanriku Beer collaborations - there's so much information I'm about to freeze up in front of the taps!
Hop BroThose two are the ones to watch. The Black Sheep Ale known as Black IPA and the White Sheep Ale known as Belgian Hazy IPA should have very different hop character and aroma.
MugiAnd there's even a Belgian stout, Kurotobi #4!? Dark-beer fans will be happy too, so today it's basically drink or nothing!
Hop BroEven if the food is modest, it's the right choice as a place to really focus on the beer. If you compare the aroma, the body, and the differences between the collaboration beers, you'll end up wanting one more.
MugiNot just wanting to say it, I'm already saying it! In my mind, today's top drink candidate is definitely Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand!
The brewpub Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, has released its business information and tap list for Friday, April 17. Hours are 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with Wednesdays closed. It is open on weekdays as an easy stop after work, serving primarily Japanese craft beer.
The day's "Today’s on Tap" lineup features a range that reflects Hinomoto Brewing's balance of hops and malt. From Kohatu Pale Ale, which evokes New Zealand-style hops, to DH Red Ale, Sauvin Belgo Brut, Yunosu Saison made with yuzu, and even beers bearing place names such as Komagome Brown and Komagome Best Bitter, the styles are broad.
The highlights are the two beers announced as a Sanriku Beer collaboration. Black IPA a.k.a. Black Sheep Ale and Belgian Hazy IPA a.k.a. White Sheep Ale are both on tap, and each should offer distinctive hop character and aroma. Also available is Kurotobi #4, a Belgian stout, making this a lineup that dark-beer fans will not want to miss.
The shop is a brewpub in a residential area near Komagome Station, and it is easy to use as a place to drop in specifically for beer, since it always serves its own house brews. The post also notes that food is limited, so it is better suited to going for the beer itself rather than just stopping in for a quick drink. It is a business day made for people who want to compare the aroma of hops, the body of malt, and the differences among collaboration beers, all centered on Japanese craft beer.
