Hop BroKichijoji has a reason to detour today: today's new taps. At CRAFT BEER MARKET Kichijoji Penny Lane, CRAFTROCK BREWING's Laguna and COEDO BREWERY's Marihana just went on.
MugiWhat! Those two are both classics already, right? And it's right by the north exit, so my after-work self is in serious danger!
Hop BroLaguna is a West Coast Pils, so it drinks crisp and clean with a nice hop aroma on top. It's easy to chug in warm weather, but beer nerds still grin at it.
MugiWait, what does high drinkability even mean? I get that it's tasty, but that phrase sounded like secret brewery radio!
Hop BroPut simply, it means super easy to drink. With something like Laguna, the light body and aroma make the next sip show up on its own.
MugiOhhh, got it! Then COEDO BREWERY's Marihana is a Session IPA, right? IPA usually makes me brace for impact, but that sounds approachable!
Hop BroMarihana is full-on citrus hops without getting heavy. Lower alcohol, lighter body, but the aroma and bitterness still show up, so it's perfect for summer.
MugiWow, I can already see the future with gyoza. This place has six or more kinds of house-made dumplings, right?
Hop BroThat's where this place really knows what it's doing: craft beer and gyoza is the core idea. And with beer-friendly snacks plus four spice curries, you can build an actual meal around it.
MugiWait, if they pour up to 30 taps, there's no way anyone leaves after one beer, right? The second I heard 'cool interior,' overtime started!
Hop BroAnd the flexible use cases are part of the charm. Solo day drinking, dinner after work, meeting up with a reservation, even takeout, it covers a lot.
MugiThat's it, decided. I want Laguna and Marihana side by side, with gyoza in between. Escaping the heat outside and drinking there sounds like an instant win!
Hop BroThen the only serious debate is the first pour. I'd start with Laguna to reset the throat, then sink into Marihana's aroma... yeah, I absolutely want a drink now.
CRAFT BEER MARKET Kichijoji Pennylane, a beer pub just off the Penny Lane side street near Kichijoji Station, announced its latest tap additions in an Instagram post dated June 12. The new arrivals are Laguna from CRAFTROCK BREWING and Marihana from COEDO BREWERY. The message is simple and practical: as the weather gets hotter, come in and take your time with a cold beer in the air-conditioned dining room.
The shop’s core appeal is a daily rotating lineup of up to 30 craft beers. Its food concept centers on craft beer and gyoza, with more than six kinds of house-made dumplings, beer-friendly snacks, and four kinds of spice curry. That makes it easy to build a meal around the beer list rather than treating the pub as just a drinking stop.
The post also reinforces how flexible the venue is. It works for a solo pint, a casual lunch drink, or dinner after work, and it supports reservations and takeout. In other words, it is the kind of place you can use in several different ways depending on the day.
For beer drinkers, the pair of newly tapped beers is worth noting. Laguna and Marihana are both familiar names, and they fit naturally with the shop’s gyoza-and-spice-leaning food menu. If you are looking for a straightforward Kichijoji stop where the tap list and the food both have a clear identity, this is one to keep on the list.
