Minna's Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae Unveils Six Taps Led by Black Tide
Minna's Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae shared its latest tap list on Instagram. The six beers on tap include Black Tide Brewing's IPA and West Coast IPA, plus DD4D BREWING's Citrus Hazy DIPA, and the post also covers reservation status and upcoming tap takeover plans.
Hop BroToday's latest tap news is from Minna's Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae in Tokyo's Sumida Ward. It's a pretty hefty lineup centered on Black Tide Brewing.
MugiWhoa! It already sounds strong! A six-tap lineup centered on Black Tide sounds like it's rolling in like a black tide!
Hop BroExactly. What's interesting is how broad the lineup is, from IPA to saison. With Kesennuma Pride IPA, Pray for 3.11 West Coast IPA, and even Heaven's Age Milky Hazy IPA, it's basically a hop showcase.
MugiWhat?! So West Coast IPA means the hops have really sharp edges? I still end up picturing the 'shape' of hops in my head!
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It's a style where bitterness and aroma come through sharply, with citrus and pine often taking the lead. And here, because the Black Tide lineup also includes Days Over lager and fruit-forward Sakura, it's fun to compare them side by side.
MugiOhhh! I'm glad there's a lager too! A lighter-drinking lager seems like it would act as a breather for the more hop-forward beers!
Hop BroExactly. And the standout is DD4D BREWING's Citrus Hazy DIPA, My Secret Lemon Trees 3. The soft citrus aroma is the part I'm most curious about.
MugiCitrus Hazy DIPA sounds delicious just from the name! 'Secret lemon trees' feels like a picture book title, which is kind of unfair!
Hop BroThe shop info is practical too: there was only one table seat left, for four people, and the counter had openings, so it's easy to stop by with a small group. It's a good beer pub for a few draft beers after work.
MugiThat makes it easy to go! Having a drink in Ryogoku-Kuramae has such a grown-up detour vibe!
Hop BroAnd the events are exciting too. As upcoming tap takeovers, KAIGAN BREWERY is set for May 23, a Kyoto brewery is planned for June 13, and WCB CAN SHARE NIGHT is scheduled for June 27.
MugiWow, having things to look forward to is the best! I want to make a reservation and go drink, but first let's check today's six taps and seriously debate what the two of us should order!
Tokyo's Sumida Ward beer pub, Minna's Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae, introduced its latest draft lineup on Instagram. The first part of the post mentions lunch at Edo Soba Hosokawa in Ryogoku, while also conveying the relaxed atmosphere of a shop that keeps operating in a calm, comfortable space.
Current Tap List
The lineup for the day is built around Black Tide Brewing. From an IPA with clearly defined hop character to an easy-drinking lager and a saison with fruit notes, the selection stands out for its range of styles.
- Kesennuma Pride / Black Tide Brewing / IPA
- Pray for 3.11 / Black Tide Brewing / West Coast IPA
- My Secret Lemon Trees 3 / DD4D BREWING / Citrus Hazy DIPA
- Days Over / Black Tide Brewing / Unfiltered Lager
- Heaven's Age / Black Tide Brewing / Milky Hazy IPA
- Sakura / Black Tide Brewing / Fruited Saison
Black Tide Brewing is a brewery from Miyagi, and in this post it shows a strong presence with four beers in the lineup. In addition to hop-forward styles like IPA, West Coast IPA, and Milky Hazy IPA, the list also includes an Unfiltered Lager and a Fruited Saison, making it easy to choose according to your mood. DD4D BREWING's My Secret Lemon Trees 3 is one to watch for its Citrus Hazy DIPA character and bright citrus nuance.
Store Status
The post notes that, due to reservations, only one table seat remains available, for four people, and counter seats are open, making it an easy stop even for a small group. It's the kind of beer pub that's well suited to a few draft beers after work in the Ryogoku-Kuramae area.
Upcoming Plans
The post also announces future events. On May 23, a KAIGAN BREWERY TAP TAKEOVER is scheduled; on June 13, a tap takeover by a Kyoto brewery is planned; and on June 27, WCB CAN SHARE NIGHT (reservation required) is set to take place.
Because the shop's character shifts with seasonal purchases and events, checking the latest tap list before visiting should make it easier to find the beer you want to drink.
