Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand posts a nine-beer tap list for July 17
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, shared its July 17 Friday service details along with a nine-beer tap list. The lineup spans American Belgo Ale, West Coast IPA, Italian Pilsner, Bitter, and Belgian Stout, with pop-up food plans also announced.
Hop BroToday’s headline is Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand. For Friday, July 17, they dropped a nine-tap in-house lineup, and it looks seriously good.
MugiWait, nine taps today? That is not a menu, that is a side quest board. Where do we even start?
Hop BroThe eye-catcher for me is Sauvin Belgo. It is an American Belgo Style Ale, so you get bright hop character plus that Belgian-yeast personality in the same glass.
MugiBelgian yeast personality sounds like a science lab with opinions. Am I supposed to drink this or interview it?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it means fruity and spicy. You get a fruit-like aroma first, then a gentle peppery note that keeps it lively.
MugiOkay, then I am choosing by name. Seiten Raimei #2 sounds less like a beer and more like a thunder-based finishing move.
Hop BroThat one is a West Coast IPA, and it is already running low. Crisp bitterness, sharp aroma, very much a summer crusher if you like a firm hop edge.
MugiThen we need to move fast. But Ryusui Soso #2 is an Italian Pilsner, right? Please tell me that does not just mean pilsner for pasta.
Hop BroGood question. An Italian Pilsner is basically a light, snappy lager with extra hop aroma, so it stays refreshing but still smells expressive.
MugiThat is fun. And with Pe Pe Pe as a Norwegian Pale Ale, plus Pineapple Gose, Komagome Best Bitter, and Kurotobi #4, the lineup really jumps all over the map.
MugiAnd there is also the July 19 doteyaki pop-up, right? If Friday is 5 to 11 p.m. and weekends are 3 to 10 p.m., this is becoming a very real detour plan.
Hop BroExactly, and they already teased a new beer release too. At that point, one visit is for the current nine taps, and the next visit is for whatever lands after that.
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand, a brewpub in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, posted its service notice for Friday, July 17, 17:00-23:00, together with today’s tap list. The shop normally operates 17:00-23:00 on weekdays, 15:00-22:00 on weekends and national holidays, and is closed on Wednesdays. Food during regular service is minimal, so the focus stays firmly on the beer.
The tap list is broad and balanced, covering hop-forward styles as well as Belgian and malt-driven options. Nine beers are listed for the day:
- Sauvin Belgo / American Belgo Style Ale, 6%
- ぺーぺーぺー / Norwegian Pale Ale, 5.5%
- 晴天雷鳴 #2 / West coast IPA, 7.5% (running low)
- 流水草々 #2 / Italian Pilsner, 5.5%
- Rolling Lolly / American IPA, 7.5%
- パイナップルゴーぜ / Gose Style with pineapple, 5%
- 駒込Best Bitter / English Best Bitter, 4.5%
- EL BAMP HAZY / Hazy IPA, 7%
- 黒鳶 #4 / Belgian Stout, 7%
What stands out is the range. There is a Sauvin-hopped Belgian-inspired ale, a Norwegian Pale Ale, a West Coast IPA, an Italian Pilsner, an English Best Bitter, and a Belgian Stout, plus a pineapple gose and a hazy IPA. In other words, this is not a one-note hop bar list but a lineup that invites comparison across styles. The house-named 駒込Best Bitter is especially fitting for a local brewpub in Komagome.
The post also notes an upcoming new beer release, possibly as soon as the next day or by the Monday holiday. On top of that, Hinomoto is planning food pop-ups: dote-yaki on July 19, seasonal tapas on July 25-26, and more events later in the summer. For beer fans, this is the kind of place where a straightforward tap list and a neighborhood brewpub atmosphere come together naturally.
