The Cat & Cask Tavern updates its Aug. 26 tap list with Shiga Kogen AfPA and three Minoh beers
The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho, Toshima-ku, Tokyo has posted its Wednesday, Aug. 26 beer list. The lineup features Shiga Kogen Africa Pale Ale, Minoh Pale Ale, Minoh Papazaru Dark Lager, and a fresh cask of Minoh Osaru Real Ale.
Hop BroToday's tap list at The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho is stacked: Shiga Kogen AfPA plus three from Minoh.
MugiWhat, three from Minoh at once? And Shiga Kogen too? That's not a lineup, that's a plot twist!
Hop BroYep, you've got AfPA and Minoh Pale Ale, the limited PapaZaru Dark Lager, and a fresh cask of Minoh Osaru Real Ale.
MugiHold on, real ale? What is that, beer with emotional honesty?
Hop BroNot emotional honesty, hand-pump service. It's served with softer natural carbonation, so the cask character comes through gently.
MugiOooh, so it's a softer mouthfeel situation, not a fizzy uppercut. More like a polite beer handshake!
Hop BroExactly. And the limited PapaZaru Dark Lager should lean malty, with that nice tension between toasty depth and lager crispness.
MugiCute name, but dark lager energy. Sounds like a monkey in glasses quietly judging my beer choices.
Hop BroThe pub itself has an old British pub feel, with three real-ale taps and three draft taps. It's open Wednesday to Saturday, 6 to 10 p.m., cash on delivery, groups up to four.
MugiThat is such a quiet tasting-night setup. The kind of place where you compare pours and accidentally become a regular.
Hop BroI'd start with Shiga Kogen AfPA for the hop expression, check the balance on Minoh Pale Ale, then settle in with Osaru Real Ale.
MugiThat flight sounds like the correct answer. I'm already mentally on the train with my first sip queued up.
The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho, Toshima-ku, Tokyo has updated its Wednesday beer list for Aug. 26. The British-style standalone beer pub describes itself as a quiet, relaxed hideaway, and it serves three real-ale taps plus three draft taps.
This week’s lineup is:
- Shiga Kogen Africa Pale Ale (AfPA)
- Minoh Pale Ale
- Minoh Papazaru Dark Lager (limited)
- Minoh Osaru Real Ale (fresh cask)
Shiga Kogen’s AfPA is one of the anchor beers on the board, while Minoh Pale Ale gives drinkers a straightforward benchmark. The limited Papazaru Dark Lager adds a darker malt-driven option, and the fresh-cask Osaru Real Ale brings in the softer texture that handpump service is known for.
The pub notes that one cask of real ale is put on every Wednesday, and the draft selection changes regularly. Service is cash on delivery, with a maximum of four people per group. Opening hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 18:00 to 22:00, with food last order at 21:00 and beer last order at 21:30. It is a good fit for a low-key tasting night with a compact, rotating lineup.
