Ant'n Bee Ryudocho in Roppongi posts 12-tap lineup for Aug. 27
Ant'n Bee Ryudocho shared its tap list for August 27, including 12 drafts ranging from Miyashita Park IPA and NAKO NIHIKI to Nagi, plus ciders, sour ales, pilsner, and porter.
Hop BroToday's Antonbee Ryudocho lineup is seriously strong. It's the sister spot to Craft Beer Antonbee Roppongi, and on August 27 they've got 12 taps including Miyashita Park IPA.
MugiWhat! Twelve taps is more choices than my entire weekend! If it's underground in Roppongi and close to the station, I'd get pulled in even on a stop-and-go rainy day.
Hop BroAnd the style range is huge. Ushitora's Miyashita Park IPA, Isekadoya's NAKO NIHIKI, Swan Lake's Nagi, plus sours, ciders, and even porter.
MugiWait, what is Hazy Double IPA supposed to mean? With a name like NAKO NIHIKI, I'm picturing two fluffy cats inside a cloud.
Hop BroThat part matters. Hazy appearance usually signals juicy aroma and a soft mouthfeel, and double IPA means a bigger hop punch with more body, so it's bold and satisfying.
MugiOhhh, not actual cats! But Nagi is a Kölsch, right? How is that different?
Hop BroKölsch is clean and crisp, perfect for an after-work beer. Nagi and Fire Stone's Pivo Pils have that snappy finish, so they're great before diving into the bigger IPAs.
MugiBefore diving in? Beer warm-up is a real thing now? Then what about Rouge Cerise, the Barrel-aged Sour Ale. Is that the fancy show-off one?
Hop BroPretty much. Barrel-aged sour means tartness layered with woody character, and Rouge Cerise should bring cherry notes too. Then Tekikaka from Moriyamaen and Cogg's KOTOKOTO2024#3 give you cider options to switch gears.
MugiAnd the import taps are stacked too! Crushable Church already sounds fun, and HI Wire's Cooler Nights WCIPA is calling my name.
Hop BroWCIPA means West Coast IPA: clearer, drier, and more bitter. Add Tired Hands' Session Hazy IPA, Fauve's White Ale, and Garage's Porter, and you've got a full tasting flight mapped out.
MugiThat's it, first stop tonight is decided! If doors open at 5, I want to run there after work, let you do the explaining, and just keep reacting between sips.
The basement beer pub Ant'n Bee Ryudocho in Roppongi posted its tap lineup for August 27. In the post, the shop described it as an easy stop near the station on a day with on-and-off rain, and noted that the Ryudocho Museum Street area still has a slight downtown feel. Weekday hours are 5:00 p.m. to midnight, with food last order at 11:00 p.m. and drinks last order at 11:30 p.m.
Twelve taps were listed. The Japanese breweries on the board included `Ushitora / Miyashita Park IPA`, `Isekadoya / NAKO NIHIKI (Hazy Double IPA)`, `Swan Lake / Rouge Cerise (Barrel-aged Sour Ale)`, `Swan Lake / Nagi (Kölsch)`, and `Moriyamaen / Tekikaka (Cider)`. International guests added `Tired Hands / Crushable Church (Session Hazy IPA)`, `Fire Stone / Pivo Pils`, `Cogg's / KOTOKOTO2024#3 (Cider)`, `Brasserie Knot / RIVER (Saison)`, `HI Wire / Cooler Nights (WCIPA)`, `Fauve / Caresse d'Été (White Ale)`, and `Garage / Locker (Porter)`.
The range spans IPA, sour ale, cider, pilsner, saison, white ale, and porter, making it a solid lineup for both a quick stop and a longer tasting session. Even in central Roppongi, the shop's location and tone make it feel relaxed rather than flashy.
