GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido adds two guest beers from Hop Kotan and NOMCRAFT
Tokyo beer pub GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS posted a tap update on August 4. The new lineup features Hop Kotan Brewing’s “Akakiha Sakeno Toga” and NOMCRAFT Brewing’s “Scottish Light Ale,” both suited to the pub’s fish-and-chips focus.
Hop BroA fresh story today: two new taps just opened at GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido. They’ve got Kotan Brewery’s “Akaki wa Sake no Toga” and NOMCRAFT BREWING’s “Scottish Light Ale” on now.
MugiWhat! A fish-and-chips pub pouring those two? That already sounds unfairly tempting!
Hop BroFirst up, “Akaki wa Sake no Toga” is basically a red lager. It drinks clean like a lager should, but it also has enough malt depth to stand up to fried food.
MugiHold on, malt depth? What is that supposed to mean? Is the beer wearing a sweater now?
Hop BroHere’s the simple version: clean lager finish means crisp and tidy on the palate, and malt depth means a bit of toastiness and body. That’s why it works so well with fried fish and chips.
MugiOhhh, so it’s basically the perfect fried-food partner. It refreshes you, but it doesn’t disappear.
Hop BroThen there’s NOMCRAFT BREWING’s “Scottish Light Ale,” which was introduced as a super easy drinker. Light, not heavy, and great as a first pint on a hot day.
MugiNo way, Scottish Light Ale sounds all serious and mighty, but it’s actually the breezy one? That gap is working on me.
Hop BroExactly. The pub runs 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with fried food last order at 9:00 p.m., so fresh fries and beer is the move if you get there early enough. There’s gin too, but these two beers are clearly the stars.
MugiI’m sold. I want Akaki wa Sake no Toga with crispy fish, then a Scottish Light Ale to reset my mouth. My stomach has officially scheduled a trip to Kameido.
New 2-Tap Pour
GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido, Tokyo, posted a tap update on August 4. The beer pub is now pouring two guest beers: Hop Kotan Brewing’s “Akakiha Sakeno Toga” and NOMCRAFT Brewing’s “Scottish Light Ale.”
“Akakiha Sakeno Toga” is described in the post as a red lager. It should fit the pub’s fish-and-chips format well, with a clean lager profile and enough malt depth to stand up to fried food.
The other beer, “Scottish Light Ale,” is introduced as a light, easy-drinking pint. That makes it a practical choice for warm-weather drinking or as a first round before moving on to the food.
The venue itself is a beer pub built around fish and chips, with opening hours listed as 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and a last order for fried dishes at 9:00 p.m. The post also mentions a gin pour, but the beer update is the main draw here: two new taps, both suited to a relaxed meal in Kameido.
