Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae lines up six taps from DD4D Brewing and Revo Brewing
On its July 19 Instagram post, Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae shared its current tap list. The lineup features DD4D Brewing’s Journeyman and five beers from Revo Brewing, spanning West Coast IPA to Saison.
Hop BroToday's topic is a six-tap showdown. At Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae, DD4D BREWING and Revo Brewing landed on tap all at once.
MugiWhat! At that Ryogoku-Kuramae bar? Six beers already sounds like me freezing in front of the tap list for ten minutes!
Hop BroFirst up, DD4D BREWING's Journeyman is a West Coast IPA, and Revo Brewing brings NOMITSUKUSE, Yokohama Iekei IPA, UMAIZEN, AloaloIPA, and SMALL TRIP.
MugiWhoa, but what does hop definition even mean? The second you say definition, beer turns into art class!
Hop BroIt just means the bitterness and aroma pop clearly. A West Coast IPA makes the citrusy notes and crisp bitterness easy to spot, like, yep, that's the hops right there.
MugiOkay, that helps! And the name Yokohama Iekei IPA already sounds intense, plus UMAIZEN being an Energy Weizen is cracking me up. Beer with power-up music!
Hop BroRevo's list really has serious style range. You've got a breezy NZ Pilsner, a cloudy Hazy IPA, a tart Sour IPA, and even a Saison for a clean finish.
MugiHold on, what's an NZ Pilsner then? Is it basically a pilsner with New Zealand wind blowing through it? My brain already booked the flight.
Hop BroHonestly, that's close. Think refreshing hoppy lager. It's crisp and easygoing, but the New Zealand hops add a bright, expressive lift, so it's great as a first pint.
MugiAnd the Instagram post even had the owner talking through customer-gathering worries with AI, so the whole brainstorming-with-AI bit feels weirdly charming. Now I want pizza too!
Hop BroExactly. You can picture walking over from the station and settling into beer and pizza night. They also teased tap takeovers from August 22 onward plus the second anniversary, so there's plenty to keep watching.
MugiI'm sold. I want to do a tasting flight and then finish all calm and happy with SMALL TRIP.
Hop BroThat's the right route. I'd start with Journeyman and push through to AloaloIPA, and right now I'm fully in let's go drink this mode.

Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae is a beer pub in Ishihara, Sumida Ward, Tokyo. In the Instagram caption, the owner, Yuta Suzuki, frames the post around the familiar challenge of figuring out how to bring in customers, then shifts back to the evening service announcement. The tone suggests a neighborhood spot where beer and pizza are part of the draw.
The tap list is neatly varied. West Coast IPA brings a sharper hop profile, NZ Pilsner offers a lighter and cleaner option, Hazy IPA leans into softness and haze, Energy Weizen puts a twist on the wheat-beer template, Sour IPA adds acidity, and Saison rounds out the lineup with a drier finish. It is the kind of range that works well for side-by-side tasting.
The post also notes a series of upcoming events: a TAP TAKEOVER from a Shizuoka brewery on August 22, another TAP TAKEOVER from a Hyogo brewery on September 12, a CAN SHARE NIGHT with a Kanagawa brewery on September 26, and a TAP TAKEOVER from an Iwate brewery plus the bar’s second anniversary on October 11. Beyond the daily tap list, the shop is keeping a steady calendar of brewery-focused events as well.
