Evolve Beer&Kitchen updates its tap list centered on Minoh Beer, with Y.MARKET and Shiga Kogen collaborations too
The beer pub Evolve Beer&Kitchen in Mukojima, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, has released its tap list for May 29. Centered on Minoh Beer, the lineup ranges widely from collaborative brews by Y.MARKET BREWING and Shiga Kogen Beer to a classic lager.
Hop BroEvolve Beer&Kitchen came out swinging with its May 29 tap update. It’s great to see a lineup centered on Minoh Beer, with Y.MARKET and Shiga Kogen collaborations in the mix too.
MugiWhoa, so it’s basically all Minoh Beer? That alone is enough to get me hyped, but how is it actually lined up?
Hop BroFirst off, it’s a tasting-friendly lineup. Pilsner, MASAJI PROJECT "SEYA!!", Momo Weizen, Yuzu Ho White, MUGICHA BITTER, and Nice Bitter all show different expressions even though they’re from the same brewery.
MugiWhat? There are two kinds of bitter? And what does the nitro version mean? Just the names are already overwhelming!
Hop BroNitro is a serving method that gives you ultra-fine foam, making the mouthfeel smoother. So Nice Bitter feels pretty different between the regular version and the nitro version, even though it’s the same beer.
MugiOhhh! Momo Weizen sounds tempting too, and Yuzu Ho White feels very summery. Fruit beers just sound like something I could chug immediately!
Hop BroThat Shimizu Hakuto ver. is the killer move. The softness of the weizen meets peach aroma, and Yuzu Ho White is crisp enough to slip right in on a hot day.
MugiSo is there a hop-heavy section too? When sweet and bitter are both on the list, I won’t know what to choose!
Hop BroThere is, and that’s what makes it fun. Y.MARKET’s Lupulin Nectar really lets you enjoy the hop aroma, and Shiga Kogen Beer × OXBOW × DOGFISH HEAD’s Kind of Gold has a powerful collaboration vibe too.
MugiEnding with Black Label is nice too. And with dishes like wood ear mushroom kimchi and deep-fried pork belly cartilage, I’d want to head to Mukojima and drink right now!
At the beer pub Evolve Beer&Kitchen in the Tokyo Skytree area (Mukojima, Sumida Ward, Tokyo), the tap list was updated to match business hours on May 29 from 17:00 to 24:00. This time, the Minoh Beer lineup is especially strong, making it an appealing set for tasting side by side.

Minoh Beer spans everything from pilsner, fruit weizen, white ale, bitter, a nitro version of its bitter, and a barrel-aged imperial stout, making it easy to explore how the same brewery can show different faces. The fruity "Momo Weizen - Shimizu Hakuto ver. -" and the light, refreshing "Yuzu Ho White" stand out as easy picks for the hotter season.
On the hop-forward side, Y.MARKET BREWING's "Lupulin Nectar" brings a strong hop presence, and "Kind of Gold" from Shiga Kogen Beer, OXBOW, and DOGFISH HEAD is also on tap, making it impossible for IPA fans to overlook. To finish, a standard choice like "Black Label" is available too, so you can choose according to your mood, from a food-friendly pint to a solid, full-flavored beer.
On the food side, the menu includes homemade wood ear mushroom kimchi, salt-koji-grilled tsumuburi, deep-fried pork belly cartilage, and Basque cheesecake, offering a pub-style selection that pairs easily with beer. The venue also announced plans for a Y.MARKET BREWING TAP TAKEOVER on July 4 and 5, and a 5th anniversary event on September 5 and 6, so the coming developments are also worth watching.
