Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo Ward, opens at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 5. In addition to 10 taps of house-brewed beer, the shop will run a food-and-goods popup, making it a lineup you can enjoy alongside a tasting flight.
Hop BroOn Sunday, April 5, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand is doing a double popup with food and goods. It opens at 3:00 p.m., and it is a day to sample 10 taps while having fun.
MugiWait, it is not just beer, but a double popup event!? That is a lot of information, and it feels like a festival even though it is a beer bar!
Hop BroExactly. The food side is Chili Chili Sunday. What is interesting is the pairing of chili con carne made with tomatoes shipped directly from Nagasaki and plant-based chili beans.
MugiI get the chili con carne, but plant-based suddenly sounds like a health show! Does that mean it is tasty and gentle on the body too?
Hop BroYes, it means it is made entirely from plant-derived ingredients. And as a companion to the beer, there will also be chilled tomatoes, so the acidity and sweetness make the palate cleanser perfect too.
MugiThere are goods too!? And Souvenir shop POP-UP is the kind of thing that makes you want a T-shirt on impulse after a few drinks!
Hop BroAnd the taps are strong too. From light, lively beers like Kohatu Pale Ale and Ryusui Sousou to the dark Kurotobi #4, they have it all.
MugiWhat, even Italian Pilsner and Belgian Stout!? From light to heavy, a tasting flight would really keep your brain busy!
Hop BroThat is what feels so Hinomoto about it. It offers range with 10 taps of domestic craft beer, while the counter-centered interior makes it easy to drop in casually.
MugiWith the easygoing feel of a beer stand in Honkomagome, and both food and goods to enjoy, it sounds perfect! I already want to head in today with chili con carne in one hand and a beer in the other!
On Sunday, April 5, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand will be open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. True to its identity as a brewpub in Honkomagome, Tokyo, the interior is centered on counter seating and standing room, and on normal days it offers only domestic craft beer across 10 taps.
That day, the shop will stage a "double popup" of food and goods. The food side is "Chili Chili Sunday", featuring two offerings side by side: chili con carne made with tomatoes shipped directly from Nagasaki, and plant-based chili beans made entirely from plant-derived ingredients. Chilled tomatoes are also planned. The goods side is "Souvenir shop POP-UP", offering hop-themed patches and T-shirt blanks.
The tap list for the day consists of the following 10 beers:
- Kohatu Pale Ale / NZ Pale Ale 5.5%
- (Running low) DH Red Ale / Dry Hopped Red Ale 5.5%
- Sauvin Belgo Brut / Dry Hopped Saison 7%
- Ryusui Sousou / Italian Pilsner 5.5%
- Yuzu Sour Saison 6%
- Black IPA a.k.a. Black Sheep Ale / Black IPA 7% (collaboration with Sanriku Beer)
- Komagome Brown / Brown Saison 6%
- Komagome Best Bitter / English Best Bitter 4.5%
- Belgian Hazy IPA a.k.a. White Sheep Ale / Belgian Hazy IPA 6.5% (collaboration with Sanriku Beer)
- Kurotobi #4 / Belgian Stout 7%
The lineup spans pale ale, saison, Italian pilsner, sour, IPA, bitter, and stout, making it easy to choose anything from a light first glass to a more substantial dark beer. As the name suggests, the shop keeps the casual feel of a "beer stand," while also layering in food and goods projects that feel distinctly like this place.
The shop is located at 1F Greenpia Honkomagome, 5-71-3 Honkomagome, Bunkyo Ward. It is closed on Wednesdays, open from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on weekdays, and from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Upcoming events include a potato chip dog on April 11, a Komagome Batchiri Talk on April 17, and seasonal-ingredient tapas on April 25 and 26, so it is worth keeping an eye on the taproom's future programming as well.
