Ant'n Bee Ryudocho lines up 11 taps on June 19 with Onidensetsu and Ushitora
On June 19, Ant'n Bee Ryudocho ran an 11-tap lineup featuring Onidensetsu, Ushitora, 10 Barrel, KCBC, and Sierra Nevada. The range covered IPA, lager, cider, saison, and watermelon gose, making it a useful stop for side-by-side tasting in Roppongi.
Hop BroTonight's topic is Anton Bee Ryudocho in Roppongi on June 19. They lined up 11 taps from Oni Densetsu, Ushitora, 10 Barrel, KCBC, Sierra Nevada, and more, so a casual stop turns into a serious tasting run.
MugiWait, 11 beers on tap on a weekday? That is not a quick drink, that is a full plot twist. And it's not just IPA, right? There are lagers and even cider too?
Hop BroExactly. The core is IPA, but you can compare Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale El Dorado with Ushitora's Sachi Hop Session IPA and Chobihige IPA, which makes the hop differences really easy to notice.
MugiHold on, Session IPA sounds like a beer for a meeting break. What does it actually mean?
Hop BroSimple version: a Session IPA keeps the hoppy character of an IPA, but usually drinks lighter and easier, so you can enjoy a few without getting flattened halfway through the night.
MugiOhh, so I could start with Sachi Hop Session IPA as the warm-up, then level up into Chobihige IPA once I start feeling brave.
Hop BroAnd the international side is stacked too: 10 Barrel's Apocalypse IPA, Nova Paka's Blow Czech Lager, Rivision's Disco Ninja, KCBC's Vicious Crush, plus Karuizawa Q's Another Afternoon. The tap list feels like a passport with foam on top.
MugiDisco Ninja is such a ridiculous name. Do I dance first or hide first? Still, having lager in the mix sounds smart when my tongue needs a ceasefire from all the bitterness.
Hop BroThat balance is the whole point. Papazaru Lager from Minoh and Kogu Cidre's Orin 2025 can reset your palate, so the list never feels like hop overload just for show.
MugiAnd it's open 5:00 p.m. to midnight, with food till 11:00 and drinks till 11:30. That's perfect after work energy. Roppongi just became dangerously convenient.
Hop BroThen you can circle back to Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale like a classic closer, or dive into the wilder side with hazy pours and even a watermelon gose. That's what makes this lineup genuinely fun.
MugiNow I really want a Roppongi tasting flight. If you start lecturing about hop character for too long, I'll cool you down with lager and steal the next pour.
On June 19, Ant'n Bee Ryudocho kept weekday hours from 17:00 to 24:00, with food until 23:00 and last drinks at 23:30. As a Roppongi beer pub, it is set up for an easy after-work stop and a short tasting round.
The draft list covered 11 beers. Japanese picks included Onidensetsu's KINNNONI Pale Ale Eldorado, Ushitora's SACHI Hop Session IPA and Chobi Hige IPA, while overseas and other labels brought in 10 Barrel's Apocalypse IPA, Nova Paka's Broucek Lager, Rivision's Disco Ninja, KCBC's Vicious Crush, Karuizawa Q's Another Afternoon, Minoh's Papa-zaru Lager, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and Cogg's Cidre's Ohrin 2025.
What stands out is the balance. Hop-driven beers cover the IPA side, but lager, cider, saison, and watermelon gose give drinkers a chance to reset between pours. It is a practical tap list for people who like to compare styles rather than commit to just one lane all night.
