Beer shop Llama in Mitaka sets June 3 short hours with 10 draft beers
Beer shop Llama in Shimorenjaku, Mitaka, announced a shortened schedule for June 3: 17:00-21:00, with dine-in last orders at 20:30. The pub will also run its weekly "Happy Wednesday!!" promotion, alongside a 10-beer draft lineup.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Beer shop Llama in Mitaka, and they’ve announced short-hour service on June 3. They’re open 5 to 9 p.m., and it comes with Happy Wednesday, which is basically a perfect after-work trap.
MugiWhat, only from 5 to 9 p.m.? That somehow makes it feel even more intense, like all the fun got compressed into one tiny beer festival!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a one-person operation that day, so last order for drinking in is 8:30 p.m. You can bring food, but nothing too smelly, and you take your trash home, so the beer comes with a manners quiz.
MugiWow, bring-your-own food is actually nice. But if I show up with garlic bombs, I guess I get kicked out before the hops even hit the glass.
Hop BroAnd the Wednesday perk matters too. Happy Wednesday!! means all cans and bottles are 5% off for takeout, and if you drink them in-store, the usual 200-yen opening fee disappears.
MugiThat’s huge! No opening fee and 10 drafts on top of that? I’d panic before ordering and just stare at the tap list like it’s an exam.
Hop BroThe lineup really earns the hype. All 10 taps cover a big range, from Inkhorn’s 'Vacation Mysteries #5' Sour and CRAFTROCK’s 'Mountain Beach' West Coast Pilsner to KUNITACHI’s 'Tamaranzaka Hazy IPA' and CRAFT BEER BASE’s 'Robust Porter.'
MugiHold on, what is an Imperial Sour supposed to be? I expected something light and cute, but that name sounds like a final boss with citrus powers.
Hop BroThat’s the key part. TIMEFLOW Imperial Sour basically means the flavor is turned up: more intensity, more acidity, more body. And a West Coast Pilsner is a crisp lager with extra hop bitterness and aroma, so it lands sharp and snappy.
MugiOkay, sharp and snappy I can understand! Then 'Cho, Latte yo!' as a Coffee Amber Ale sounds like it might have that grown-up coffee vibe, like dessert that suddenly pays rent.
Hop BroThat’s pretty close. Then you’ve also got Faló’s 'STEREO' IPA, GROUNDTAP’s 'MISEN' West Coast IPA, and Let’s Beer Works’ 'HEAVY SWING' Juicy IPA, so it’s basically a tap-list paradise. I’d start sour and finish with the Robust Porter.
MugiI’m sold, I want to head straight to Llama after work. Starting with 'Vacation Mysteries #5,' sneaking in 'Tamaranzaka Hazy IPA,' and ending on porter sounds way too good for a four-hour stop.
