The Cat & Cask Tavern updates its June 17 tap list with four beers
The Cat & Cask Tavern in Tokyo's Kanamecho has posted its June 17 beer list. The lineup includes Shiga Kogen's Africa Pale Ale, Brimmer Brewing's Hazy IPA, two Minoh limited releases, and a real ale that changes every Wednesday.
Hop BroToday's topic is The Cat & Cask Tavern and its June 17 tap update. This British-style pub in Kanamecho has a four-beer lineup with a really nice spread.
MugiWait, four beers on tap? That sounds like a hand-picked squad. Now I need to know why these four are such a big deal!
Hop BroThe first anchor is Shiga Kogen AfPA. It's an Africa Pale Ale, and it feels like the kind of reliable opener that makes a tasting lineup easy to build.
MugiAfPA means Africa Pale Ale? That name sounds like my pint is about to take me on safari!
Hop BroOnly if you've already had too many. Think of it as a pale ale cousin that's approachable and nicely balanced between drinkability and aroma.
MugiOkay, then what about Brimmer Hazy IPA? The word hazy sounds exactly like the state of my brain right now!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. A cloudy-style IPA pushes aroma forward, and since this one is limited, the contrast with AfPA should be really obvious.
MugiHold on, what is hand-pulled real ale? When I hear pump, I picture gym equipment, not beer!
Hop BroThat part matters. Minoh Nice na Bitter is the real ale that switches in from a single cask on Wednesday, and the hand pump should give it a softer, gentler feel.
Hop BroThen you add Minoh Spring Lager and suddenly you've got bitter, hazy IPA, pale ale, and lager in one clean flight. With a four-person limit and cash-on-delivery, it really feels built for focused beer drinking.
MugiThat is such a beer-first night and I love it. They're open 18:00 to 22:00, food is paused for now, and somehow that just makes me want to concentrate on the taps even harder!
Hop BroStart with AfPA, move to the hazy IPA, slide into the spring lager, and finish on the real ale. At this point we both need a pint.
June 17 tap list
The Cat & Cask Tavern, a British-style craft beer pub in Kanamecho, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, has published its beer list for Wednesday, June 17. The venue describes itself as a quiet, relaxed house pub, and its Japanese craft beer setup includes three handpump real-ale taps and three draft taps. This update keeps the focus firmly on beer, with a rotating lineup and a real-ale pour that changes on Wednesdays.
The beers listed for the day are:
- Shiga Kogen Africa Pale Ale (AfPA)
- Brimmer Brewing Hazy IPA (limited)
- Minoh Spring Lager (limited)
- Minoh Nice Bitter Real Ale (limited)
The standout detail is the real ale: the pub notes that it changes from a single cask every Wednesday. That makes the Minoh Nice Bitter Real Ale a timely pour for anyone who wants to follow the handpump side of the bar. The rest of the lineup offers a clear range as well, from Shiga Kogen's pale ale to a hazy IPA and a spring lager from Minoh.
The pub also says food service will be paused for the time being. Opening hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 18:00-22:00, with food last order at 21:00 and beer last order at 21:30. Groups are limited to four people per party, and service is cash on delivery. With the food menu temporarily on hold, this is a straightforward beer-first stop for anyone looking to catch the current tap list in a calm, compact pub setting.
