Minnanocraft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae unveils six-beer tap list, tees up Aug. 22 takeover
Minnanocraft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae has shared its current six-beer tap lineup, featuring Yellow Monkey Brewing, Grandline Brewing, Black Tide Brewing, Rio Brewing.Co, open air brewing, and Craft Bank. A West Coast Bwing takeover is also scheduled for Aug. 22.
Hop BroToday's topic is Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae. They just revealed six beers on tap, and they’ve already teased a West Coast Bwing TAP TAKEOVER for August 22.
MugiWait, six beers on tap and it’s not just a wall of IPAs?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Yellow Monkey Brewing’s GOHOBI IPA is an NZ IPA, Grandline Brewing’s Only Impact is an American IPA, and Black Tide Brewing’s Hoya Boya ver. 5.3 is a Hazy IPA, so the lineup really spreads out the styles.
MugiHold on, NZ IPA? Is that an IPA that walked in wearing a New Zealand name tag?
Hop BroAn NZ IPA usually puts New Zealand hops in the spotlight, so you get white grape-like aromas and bright citrus lift. It’s less about nationality and more about the aroma profile.
MugiOhhh! Then I’m curious about Hoya Boya, and Rio Brewing.Co’s SOCIAL GRAVITY sounds like it’s trying to pull the glass straight into my hand.
Hop BroThat one’s a DDH Hazy DIPA. Double dry-hopped, hazy, and stronger on the ABV side, so it’s packed with aroma, soft on the palate, and sneakier than it looks.
MugiWow, this suddenly became a brewer seminar. Still, double dry hop sounds cool, like the hops got called back for a second dramatic entrance.
Hop BroAnd you can change gears with open air brewing’s raspberry wheat, then finish crisp with Craft Bank’s 04-KOLSCH. It really feels like the kind of lineup you pair with pizza and settle into.
MugiI also love that they talk about the weight of a 1,000-yen pint. It makes the place feel less like it’s just selling beer and more like it’s building a connection with people.
Hop BroExactly, and that’s why the TAP TAKEOVER on August 22 sounds so good. They’ve also got more events coming after September, plus a second anniversary event on October 11.
MugiThat settles it. Start with GOHOBI IPA, land softly with a kolsch, and call it a need-a-drink-right-now course.
The beer pub in Ishihara, Sumida Ward, has published its current draft lineup and framed the post around the weight of serving beers priced at more than 1,000 yen. The shop presents beer as more than a drink: it is the bridge that connects the room, the food, and the people drinking together.
TODAY'S ON TAP
- GOHOBI IPA / Yellow Monkey Brewing (Kanagawa) / NZ IPA
- Only Impact / Grandline Brewing (Kanagawa) / American IPA
- Hoya Boya ver. 5.3 / Black Tide Brewing (Miyagi) / Hazy IPA
- SOCIAL GRAVITY / Rio Brewing.Co (Chiba) / DDH Hazy DIPA
- raspberry wheat / open air brewing (Hyogo) / Fruited Wheat
- 04-KOLSCH / Craft Bank (Kyoto) / KÖLSCH Style
The lineup ranges from hop-forward IPAs to hazy styles, a fruited wheat beer, and a Kölsch-style beer, making it an easy place to compare flavor profiles. It is also a natural match with pizza, which the shop highlights in its post.
The schedule also points ahead to an Aug. 22 TAP TAKEOVER by West Coast Bwing from Shizuoka, followed by more takeover events and a closed CAN SHARE NIGHT in September, plus a second-anniversary event on Oct. 11. For beer drinkers in the Ryogoku-Kuramae area, this is one to keep on the radar.
