Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand opens eight beers for Aug. 11 holiday service
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome, Bunkyo Ward, updated its tap list for its August 11 holiday service. The lineup features eight beers, including Little Thing, Sabro Hazy, and a dark Belgian stout.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, and for August 11 they’ve got eight beers on tap starting from 3 p.m., which is a strong move.
MugiWait, daytime beer heaven? And eight options too? Are we really talking everything from easy drinkers to dark beer?
Hop BroExactly. Little Thing is a Dry Hopped Session Ale at 4.5%, while Saburo Hazy is a 7% Hazy IPA, so the range is seriously wide right from the start.
MugiHold on, Dry Hopped Session Ale sounds like a spell from a wizard book. What does that actually taste like?
Hop BroPut simply, it’s a lighter ale with extra hops added after fermentation for aroma, so Little Thing should feel light but super fragrant.
MugiOhhh, nice! That sounds perfect for a first pint. Meanwhile I’m totally getting pulled in by the sweet-tart sounding name of Pineapple Gose.
Hop BroFair reaction. Gose is a style with salinity and acidity, so with pineapple added you’re probably getting tropical refreshment vibes in the glass.
MugiWhat is that combo? Salt and tartness too? My mouth is already confused. And then I hear Ryusui Soso #2 is running dangerously low and now I’m stressed.
Hop BroRyusui Soso #2 is an Italian Pilsner at 5.5%, crisp with a defined hop edge, and alongside it you’ve got Mashup IPA Ekuanot, Rolling Lolly, Komagome Best Bitter, and Kurodori #4 in a full-spectrum tap list.
MugiAnd the food is casual stuff like rice crackers and old-school snacks, plus they’ve got bread pop-ups and neighborhood talk events later in August, so it feels like the whole place is the experience.
Hop BroOn a day like this, you start with Little Thing, then drift toward Saburo Hazy or even Kurodori #4 later because it’s built for tap-hopping.
MugiI’m sold. We go early, grab Ryusui Soso #2 before it’s gone, and finish with something dark. I’m ready to meet at the taps right now.
On the August 11 holiday service, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand is open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The Komagome brewpub keeps a beer-first format, with only light snacks such as kaki-peanuts and dagashi-style sweets on hand. Its regular schedule remains weekday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with Wednesdays closed.
Today's on Tap
- Little Thing / Dry Hopped Session Ale, 4.5%
- Sabro Hazy / Hazy IPA, 7%
- (Low stock) Ryusui Soso #2 / Italian Pilsner, 5.5%
- Mashup IPA Ekuanot / Belgian IPA, 6.5%
- Rolling Lolly / American IPA, 7.5%
- Pineapple Gose / Gose Style with pineapple, 5%

- Kurotori #4 / Belgian Stout, 7%
The lineup spans easy-drinking session beer, several IPA variations, a gose, a classic bitter, and a Belgian stout. The Italian pilsner is marked as running low, so it is likely the first one to disappear. It is a compact but varied list that lets drinkers move from hop-forward beers to malt-driven styles in one visit.
The venue also has a string of late-August pop-up plans, including bread and food collaborations. That mix of house beer, neighborhood atmosphere, and small event programming is part of what gives the stand its character.
