MugiWhat! So at Progress you can not only drink there, but also get draft beer to go!
Hop BroExactly. And the contents this time are Münchner Style Helles, with an alcohol content of 5.0%, and it's a once-a-year limited brew.
MugiWow! But Helles sounds kind of hard to say... what does malt character mean?
Hop BroSimply put, it means the savory flavor and gentle sweetness of malt. The key point this time is the aroma, which is like freshly baked bread.
MugiOoh, that sounds absolutely delicious! And a clear gold color makes it look like a real treat already!
Hop BroExactly. The bitterness isn't too strong, and it has a gentle, easy-drinking finish that keeps you going. That's the well-balanced charm of Helles.
MugiAnd Wednesdays and Thursdays are 20% off for takeout, right? There's no way I wouldn't stop by after work!
Hop BroYeah, you can bring your own growler, and the shop also provides cups and plastic bottles, so it's super easy.
MugiProgress is strong because it's good for both drinking in and taking out... I have to remember this as a Musashi-Kosugi pour!
Hop BroA beer at the shop after work, or one to enjoy slowly at home - either way works. Tonight really makes you want to toast with Helles!
From 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Shonan Beer’s "Helles" will be tapped at Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi.
This pour is a Münchner Style Helles / 5.0%. It is a once-a-year limited brew that recreates Shonan Beer’s roots, which the brewery owner discovered while traveling in Germany, using the recipe from that time. It is described as having a clear gold appearance, an aroma reminiscent of freshly baked bread, and a crisp malt sweetness, with a gentle bitterness that makes it easy to keep drinking.
Progress is a venue that doubles as a beer pub and a bottle shop. You can of course enjoy a glass inside the shop, but takeout draft beer is also part of the appeal. In the post, takeout draft beer on Wednesdays and Thursdays is said to be 20% off, and in addition to bringing your own growler, the shop also provides cups and plastic bottles, making it easy to take beer home. They also sell growlers, so it is an easy option for people who want to start taking beer to go.
The shop is located in Kosugimachi, Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki City, in a convenient spot near Musashi-Kosugi Station. It is open from 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, so you can enjoy it early on weekends. This Helles is a great fit for anyone looking for a calm malt character and a light, refreshing finish. It is a tap release that works both as a drink after work and as a takeout beer to savor slowly at home.
