CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi, Minoh and Mother Road on Draft for April 8
Instagram announced the April 8 draft lineup, with 11 drinks ranging from bitter to hazy IPA and cider, including Minoh Beer’s “Mugicha Bitter” and Mother Road Brewing Company’s “Tower Station IPA” and “Limited Visibility.” As a basement-floor beer pub, it is an easy place to stop by after work.
Hop BroThe April 8 lineup at CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi, with 20 draft taps in a basement space in Roppongi, is pretty adventurous.
MugiWait, 20 taps in a basement!? Just being able to stop by after work already makes it a winner!
Hop BroThe highlights for the day are Minoh Beer’s Mugicha Bitter plus Mother Road’s Tower Station IPA and Limited Visibility. The range from bitter to IPA is great.
MugiWhat is that, is Mugicha Bitter beer made with barley tea? My head is spinning!
Hop BroIt’s a bitter that leans toward the roasted aroma of barley tea, with a slowly building bitterness. When you get roasted notes and bitterness together, it pairs really well with food.
MugiOhh! So Left Hand Brewing Company’s Milk Stout is the sweet, rich kind too?
Hop BroExactly. It has a smoothness from lactose, so even though it’s dark, the mouthfeel is soft. If you slip in Ace Cider’s Joker Dry or other ciders there, it resets your palate.
MugiWhoa, it’s not just beer - cider is on the list too. The fun of choosing is insane!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, there’s Dieu du Ciel!’s Fenêtre sur les Tropiques, Blanche de Paradis, and Solstice d'Ete Cerises, plus COEDO’s KYARA and Black Tide Brewing’s Tea Time, so you can travel in one go from bitter to hazy.
MugiIt’s basically a maze, but in a good way! First Mugicha Bitter, then a hazy IPA for the second round - I want to do a basement beer comparison!
Hop BroThat’s the plan. This is the kind of place that’s interesting precisely because it follows the day-to-day tap changes instead of doing flashy events. Today feels like a good day to drink the character of the kegs and head over.
“CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi,” located on the basement first floor at 5-1-5 Roppongi, is a beer pub that boasts 20 draft taps. Instagram introduced the April 8 draft lineup, and on weekdays the bar is open from 17:00 to 24:00, with food L.O. at 23:00 and drinks L.O. at 23:30.
The highlights of the day were Minoh Beer’s “Mugicha Bitter,” Mother Road Brewing Company’s “Tower Station IPA” and “Limited Visibility,” Left Hand Brewing Company’s “Milk Stout,” Ace Cider’s “Joker Dry,” and Minamishinshu Beer (OGNA)’s “Apple Hop KOGYOKU.” Added to these were Dieu du Ciel!’s “Fenêtre sur les Tropiques,” “Blanche de Paradis,” and “Solstice d'Ete Cerises,” COEDO’s “KYARA,” and Black Tide Brewing’s “Tea Time,” creating a lineup that spanned bitters, IPAs, cider, fruit beer, Belgian witbier, cherry Berliner-style beer, and hard tea.
What makes this place interesting is that in the basement interior, you can choose the style you want to drink and try them one by one. Starting with Mugicha Bitter or Milk Stout for your first glass, then moving on to a hazy IPA or something fruit-forward for the second, makes each day’s character easier to see. Rather than flashy event announcements, this is the kind of place that steadily follows the day-to-day tap changes, which is why the breadth of the lineup itself becomes the attraction.
