Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand: 9 beers on the Wed., Apr. 29 holiday, including Kveik Pale Ale
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome will be open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 29. In a post, it introduced a wide tap lineup ranging from pale ales to stout, including Kohatu Pale Ale, Kveik Pale Ale, White Sheep Ale, and Black Sheep Ale.
Hop BroToday, Komagome's holiday tap update is heating up. Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand is open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 29, and it's a day craft beer fans will be happy about.
MugiWhat! It's open even though it's usually closed on Wednesdays? And 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. is basically made for drinking!
Hop BroExactly. The inside is beer-centered, and the food is basically kaki-peanuts and dagashi. In other words, it's the kind of place where you go to drink seriously, so you can focus on each pint without hesitation.
MugiWhoa, amazing! But aren't there too many taps? Kohatu Pale Ale and the ones that just sound strong by name are lined up, and I'm curious~.
Hop BroWhat makes this lineup interesting is its range. Kohatu Pale Ale, Pee-Pee-Pee Kveik Pale Ale, Ryusui Soso, and Yunosu Saison are all there, so the spectrum of flavors is pretty wide.
MugiWait, what's Kveik? That suddenly sounds like a spell, and I'm already lost before the pronunciation!
Hop BroKveik is a Norwegian farmhouse yeast that tends to show off its fermentation character. So Pee-Pee-Pee Kveik Pale Ale is a glass for enjoying the personality of the yeast.
MugiOhh! And there's Komagome Brown and Komagome Best Bitter too? Having that comfortable British-style feel in the mix makes the range even wilder.
Hop BroExactly. And Black IPA a.k.a. Black Sheep Ale and Belgian Hazy IPA a.k.a. White Sheep Ale both have strong presence thanks to the collaboration with Sanriku Beer.
MugiBlack Sheep and White Sheep both sound tempting, and with Kurotobi #4 being a Belgian stout too, I want to work through them one by one!
Hop BroThere's also a booth at the Nezu Shrine Azalea Festival, so this holiday has a lot going on. If you're going to drink slowly in Komagome, I want to taste the depth of domestic craft all in one day.
MugiYeah, this definitely makes me want to go! It's like one distinctive beer after another, and if I relax and drink in the holiday evening, I'll absolutely be happy!
Holiday Opening and Tap Update
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, will be open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 29. Although the shop is normally closed on Wednesdays, it will open for the holiday. In a post, it announced, "The taproom is open," and as usual the venue will run with beer at the center. The food is basically kaki-peanuts and dagashi, making it clear that this is a place to go for serious drinking.
The taps for the day span a wide range of flavors, from light beers with clear hop character to beers that put yeast character front and center, plus collaborative black and white sheep brews. Alongside pale styles such as Kohatu Pale Ale, Pee-Pee-Pee Kveik Pale Ale, Ryusui Soso, and Yunosu Saison, there are also Komagome Brown, Komagome Best Bitter, and Kurotobi #4.
What stands out in the post is the pair of Black IPA a.k.a. Black Sheep Ale and Belgian Hazy IPA a.k.a. White Sheep Ale. Both are labeled as collaborations with Sanriku Beer, layering the presence of a joint brew on top of Hinomoto Brewing's own house-brewing focus. For a holiday in Komagome, if you want to follow each beer's individual character rather than go for a flashy meal, this is a lineup worth choosing.
Taps for the Day
- Kohatu Pale Ale / NZ Pale Ale
- Pee-Pee-Pee Kveik Pale Ale / Norwegian Farmhouse Ale
