Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand announces Little Thing and an 8-tap lineup on August 3
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome, Tokyo, published its August 3 Monday service update. The lineup includes the new Little Thing along with a wide mix of session ale, pilsner, IPA, gose, bitter, and stout.
Hop BroToday's headline is eight taps at Hinomoto. Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome posted its August 3 lineup, and the new release is right there in the mix.
MugiWait, new Little Thing is already on? From session ale to stout, that lineup has the range of a whole beer festival!
Hop BroYep, and Little Thing is a dry-hopped session ale at 4.5% ABV and 26 IBU. It throws pineapple, grapefruit, and mikan-like aromas, with a light body plus a nice grainy layer.
MugiHold on, dry-hopped session ale sounds less like beer and more like a workout class. What does that even mean?!
Hop BroSimple version: dry hopping means adding hops later to boost aroma, and a session ale is lower in alcohol so it's easy to keep drinking.
MugiOhhh, so it's first-beer weather in a glass. Light and tropical basically sounds like the perfect post-work reset!
Hop BroAnd the rest is strong too. It's an eight-style spread: Sauvin Belgo, Ryusui Soso #2 as an Italian pilsner, Mashup IPA Ekuanot, Rolling Lolly, Pineapple Gose, Komagome Best Bitter, and Kurotobi #4.
MugiPilsner to stout in one shop? That's like eight friends with totally different personalities somehow showing up to the same party. And they're backed up by kaki-bee and dagashi snacks!
Hop BroThat brewery-and-taproom setup is part of the charm. It's in a residential corner of Honkomagome, walkable from Komagome Station, so you can compare brewer Tamura's beers right where they're made.
MugiI'm done for, I want a Little Thing first and then a full tasting lap. I can already see myself finishing with Kurotobi #4 and getting all dramatic.
Hop BroThat's the move. Tonight's Komagome plan basically writes itself, and now I want that first pour way too badly.
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome, Tokyo, updated its tap list in its August 3 Monday service post. The brewpub keeps its usual weekday hours, opening at 5 p.m. and pouring through 11 p.m., with brewer Tamura’s beers at the center of the lineup.
The highlight is the new Little Thing, a dry-hopped session ale at 4.5% ABV and 26 IBU. The beer is described with pineapple, grapefruit, and mandarin-like aromas, plus a grainy depth beneath the light body, making it an easy first pour on a hot day.
The day’s lineup spans crisp, hoppy, and darker styles:
- Sauvin Belgo / American Belgo Style Ale
- Little Thing / Dry Hopped Session Ale
- Ryūsui Sōsō #2 / Italian Pilsner
- Mashup IPA Ekuanot / Belgian IPA
- Rolling Lolly / American IPA
- Pineapple Gose / Gose Style with pineapple
- Komagome Best Bitter / English Best Bitter
- Kokutō #4 / Belgian Stout
Because the pub focuses on Japanese craft beer, the tap list moves beyond hop-forward IPAs and also covers pilsner, bitter, gose, and stout. Food is minimal, mostly beer snacks, but that fits the format: this is a place for focusing on the beer itself.
Set in a quiet residential area within walking distance of Komagome Station, the venue combines a brewery and a taproom in one space. For drinkers who want to start with a fresh release like Little Thing and then compare it with the brewery’s house styles, this is a practical and appealing update.
