Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome, Tokyo, will open from 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 19. In addition to 10 taps centered on house-brewed beers such as Kohatu Pale Ale and Kurotobi #4, the bar will also host "Beer and Records" from 5:00 p.m.
Hop BroOn Sunday, April 19, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome is going to be hot. It opens at 3:00 p.m., and there will be a lineup of 10 taps, mostly house-brewed beers.
MugiWhoa, 10 taps running is a lot! With that many, I’d have a happy dilemma trying to decide what to drink first.
Hop BroThe first thing to notice is the Kohatu Pale Ale made with NZ hops. It’s a light, lively pale ale with a really pleasant aroma.
MugiNZ hops? What is that? It suddenly sounds like the name of an overseas superhero team, and I’m already knee-deep in the hop abyss?
Hop BroPut simply, they’re hops from New Zealand, and they tend to bring out citrusy and herbal aromas. So it becomes a highly aromatic glass more easily, that’s the idea.
MugiI see! So DH Red Ale sounds like a red beer with extra hops, right? Just the name makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroExactly. DH stands for dry hopping. It’s a method of adding hops after fermentation to boost aroma, like layering on the fragrance afterward.
MugiWow. And with names like Sauvin Belgo Brut and Yunosu Saison, the individuality is exploding just from the names alone. A yuzu sour saison sounds so interesting!
Hop BroThere’s also a collaboration with Sanriku Beer: Black Sheep Ale and White Sheep Ale. A Black IPA and a Belgian Hazy IPA, so it’s fun to compare black and white.
MugiBlack sheep and white sheep sound cute, but the inside is serious stuff! And the finish being Kurotobi #4, a Belgian Stout, gives the feeling that a deep abyss is waiting at the end.
Hop BroAnd starting at 5:00 p.m., there’s also Beer and Records, a WOO-EEE-WOO STORE project, so you can relax with music while you drink. It’s perfect for a holiday evening.
MugiBeing able to start with a first drink in the afternoon in Honkomagome, Bunkyo Ward, is amazing! I already want to drink my way through the whole lineup, from Kohatu to Kurotobi.
Hop BroThen today, let’s go from the aromatic pale ale to the tart saison, and finish with the stout. It’s basically like traveling through one place. Makes you want to go drink, doesn’t it?
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand, the brewpub in Komagome, Tokyo, will be open on Sunday, April 19 from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. While the brewery will be serving at the Vegan Gourmet Festival that day, the taproom will host "Beer and Records" from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Organized by WOO-EEE-WOO STORE, the event will feature DJ Ichiro and Guest DJ Ringino taking turns on the decks, creating a laid-back setting to spend a holiday evening with music and beer.
The highlight of the day is the 10-tap lineup. The selection includes NZ Pale Ale "Kohatu Pale Ale," Dry Hopped Red Ale "DH Red Ale," Dry Hopped Saison "Sauvin Belgo Brut," Italian Pilsner "Ryusui Soso," and Yuzu Sour Saison "Yunosu Saison." The range is broad, from bright pale ales to saisons with pronounced acidity and aroma, and even pilsners, making it easy to pick something to suit your mood.
Also on tap, as a collaboration with Sanriku Beer, are "Black Sheep Ale" (Black IPA) and "White Sheep Ale" (Belgian Hazy IPA). To finish, "Kurotobi #4," a Belgian Stout, rounds out the lineup, making it appealing as a single place where you can follow a wide variety of styles.
True to its character as a brewpub attached to a brewery, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand puts its house-brewed personality front and center. Located in the quiet neighborhood of Honkomagome in Bunkyo Ward, it is a place where you can enjoy beer itself as the main attraction without relying on elaborate food. Because it opens at 3:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays, it is also convenient for anyone who wants to start with a first drink in the afternoon.
