The beer pub The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho, Tokyo, has updated its beer lineup for Wednesday, March 18, 2026. Featuring a total of four beers from Brimmer, Minoh, and Hansharo Beer, the selection is set up so you can enjoy the rotation of real ale and draft pours.
Hop BroThe Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho has put out its four beers for March 18. Today’s lineup has a really nice balance.
MugiWhoa! The Cat & Cask Tavern is that house-style beer pub, right? Sounds like a great atmosphere!
Hop BroExactly. This announcement features Brimmer, Minoh, and Hansharo Beer, with four beers total: Pale Ale, Imperial Stout, Morning Dew Helles, and Osaru IPA Real Ale.
MugiReally!? Real ale and draft are both just “draft beer,” aren’t they?
Hop BroThe difference is in how they’re served. Real ale is served with a hand pump, so it has gentler carbonation and a softer feel. Draft is poured through a tap, so it tends to have more crispness.
MugiI see! So today’s lineup has a wide range of drinking styles. You can have fun going from light to rich!
Hop BroExactly. If you start with Brimmer’s pale ale, then reset with Hansharo Beer’s Helles, and finish with Minoh’s imperial stout, the flow feels really clean.
MugiBut the name “Osaru IPA Real Ale” sounds intense! What does hop-forward real ale actually taste like?
Hop BroThe aroma really comes through, but the foam and carbonation are gentle, so the edges feel rounded. And since this place updates one cask starting every Wednesday, it’s fun to keep following along.
MugiIf they’re open Wednesday through Saturday nights, then today is our chance! A place where you can drink quietly and slowly gives us plenty of reason to go!
Hop BroThat settles it, let’s have a drink in Kanamecho. We’ll compare the real ale and the draft pours and go with a four-beer completion plan.
The Cat & Cask Tavern, in Kanamecho, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, announced its beer lineup for Wednesday, March 18, 2026 on its blog. This house-style pub, which carefully preserves the atmosphere of a British pub, is a noteworthy update for craft beer fans who want a quiet place to drink.
The beers listed in the announcement for the day are the following four:
- Brimmer Brewing "Pale Ale"
- Minoh "Imperial Stout"
- Hansharo Beer "Morning Dew Helles"
- Minoh "Osaru IPA Real Ale"
From a bright, easy-drinking pale ale to a full-bodied imperial stout, and even the clean character of a Helles, this lineup offers a solid range of drinking experiences. In addition, the inclusion of "Osaru IPA Real Ale" adds an option for enjoying hop character through real ale.
The shop serves Japanese craft beer in a style of three handpump taps for real ale and three draft taps. In this post as well, it notes that one cask of real ale is changed over every Wednesday, while the draft selection is rotated as needed, making this the kind of place that becomes interesting the more you keep an eye on it. Business hours are Wednesday through Saturday in the evening. In the Kanamecho area, it is the kind of place to visit when you want to slowly choose and enjoy a drink in a calm setting.
