Hop BroCraft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro just updated its June 13 tap list, and it is a tempting one: seven draft craft beers plus two new white wines.
MugiWait, seven beers on tap and the wine lineup changed too? That is not a quick-stop pub, that is a stay-too-long trap!
Hop BroExactly. They have Johana Beer’s Hikiyama Black, Be Easy Brewing’s Debi’s Pale Ale, Uchoten Brewing’s Aria, and Shimanami Brewery’s Strike Pilsner in the mix, so the lineup feels really well built.
MugiWhoa, but black beer, pale ale, pilsner... that is a total style traffic jam in my brain already!
Hop BroHikiyama Black leans dark, Debi’s Pale Ale is an easy way into hop aroma, and Strike Pilsner is all about crisp snap. That depth in the dark beer comes from roasted malt, which basically means the toasty side is doing the heavy lifting.
MugiWhat is that, roasted malt sounds like a finishing move, but it is actually the toasted-flavor specialist? And there is an Oolong Tea beer too? That is too much information!
Hop BroIshinomaki Hop Works’ Oolong Tea beer is fun because tea shows up as an adjunct. So it is basically a tea-twist beer, and the surprise is all in the aroma.
MugiAnd then there is Dogfish Head × Oxbow × Shiga Kogen’s Kind of Gold too? That is so many collaborators it sounds like a band reunion!
Hop BroThat US-plus-Shiga Kogen pairing alone makes me want a pour, and you can slot in Nara Brewing’s Kabel along the way. Plus they are open 2 p.m. to midnight, so you can take your time in that quiet back alley.
MugiAnd the bench seats are no cover charge, right? Very polite to my wallet, extremely rude to my decision-making time!
Hop BroOn top of that, the white wines were swapped to Tenuta del Melo Gavi 2024 and Michel Chapoutier Pays d’Oc Blanc 2024. Covering dry and fruity makes the jump from beer to wine feel natural, and I am already planning my first pour.
MugiThen it is settled: pilsner first, white wine to finish. Tonight is flight mode activated, Hop Bro!
Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE in Shimomeguro, Meguro Ward, Tokyo, published its June 13 tap list. The bar’s Instagram profile describes it as a backstreet spot with seven Japanese draft craft beers and a wine list centered on domestic labels, and that mix is reflected in the day’s lineup.
Today's draft beer lineup
- Johana Beer / "Hikiyama Black" [Toyama]
- B.E.E. Brewing / "Davey's Pale Ale" [Aomori]

The bar also refreshed two white wines: Tenuta del Melo Gavi 2024 and Michel Chapoutier Pays d'Oc Blanc 2024, adding both a dry style and a fruitier option. That makes it easy to move between beer and wine without changing the rhythm of the evening.
Hours for the day were listed as 14:00-24:00. Bench seating is available without a cover charge, and drinks can be served in takeaway plastic cups, making it an easy stop for a casual tasting session in a quiet alley near Meguro.
