Bar Malt Road in Kanda adds eight summer taps and a peach special
Bar Malt Road, a beer pub in Kanda, Tokyo, has introduced a summer tap lineup spanning the UK, Germany, Belgium, the U.S., and Japan. The bar also added a seasonal peach dish, “Peach Quattro Formaggi with honey.”
Hop BroI want to talk about Bar Malt Road in Kanda-Tacho today, because they just rolled out eight summer taps that feel like a beer trip around the world.
MugiWait, a beer pub with brews from the UK to Japan all in one basement? That's passport-free travel!
Hop BroExactly. Fuller's London Pride is a classic British bitter, and Hofbräu Sommerzwickl Naturtrüb is an unfiltered lager that stays easy to drink in hot weather.
MugiHold on, Naturtrüb spell? That sounds less like beer and more like something you'd cast on a mug!
Hop BroHere's the simple version: Naturtrüb means naturally cloudy, so some yeast and proteins stay in and give it a softer mouthfeel.
MugiOhhh! So Chimay White being a Belgian tripel means it can feel light but still come in with big, fancy aromas?
Hop BroThat's it. Then Alpine Duet brings full-throttle hops, and Kyoto Brewing's Mon Gai Fushutsu 2026 adds a strong Japanese pick to the lineup too.
MugiWow, the taps are already stacked, and then they add peach quattro formaggi? My mouth doesn't get a day off!
Hop BroYou've got four cheeses, lots of peach, and honey on top, so it lands as sweet-salty perfection. It can work with lager or IPA.
MugiIn Kanda's office district, that kind of setup would make me want to clear the whole tap list after work!
Hop BroStart with Sommerzwickl to cool down, move to Duet, then finish with the peach dish, and you've got a perfect summer detour.
MugiThat's decided then. Tonight we're heading to Bar Malt Road to officially start delicious summer!
Bar Malt Road, a basement beer pub in Kanda-Machi, Tokyo, is rolling out a summer-focused tap list alongside seasonal food. In its post, the bar described the concept as “we have started a delicious summer,” with special dishes made from seasonal ingredients and a rotating selection of craft beers suited to the season.
The day’s tap list includes `Summer Gift vol.Ⅱ`, `Fuller's London Pride`, `Hogan's Original Draught`, `Hofbräu Sommerzwickl Naturtrüb`, `Chimay White`, `Alpine Duet`, `Kyoto Brewing Mangai Fushutsu 2026`, and `Bayern Meister Bier Edel weisse`. The lineup spans the UK, Germany, Belgium, the United States, and Japan, making it a good set for a side-by-side tasting session.
On the food side, the new seasonal dish is `Peach Quattro Formaggi with honey`. The bar tops a chewy pizza-style crust with four cheeses - gorgonzola, mascarpone, grana padano, and mozzarella - then layers on plenty of fresh peach and finishes with honey. It is an easy match for beers with a clean finish or a touch of bitterness.
With its Kanda location and pub-style setting, Bar Malt Road looks like a place to settle in and work through a few different drafts rather than just drop in for one quick pint. The appeal here is the balance: a broad, international tap list paired with a summer food offering built around in-season fruit.
