Antonbi Ryudocho Branch, a 4/12 Tap List with 11 Beers Including Mikkeller NZ and DDC!
CRAFT BEER Antonbi Roppongi's Ryudocho branch has released its tap list for Sunday service on April 12. With a total of 11 selections including Mikkeller NZ, Mother Road, DDC!, and Black Tide, the lineup is geared toward daytime drinking starting from 2:00 p.m.
Hop BroToday, if you're doing daytime drinking in the basement of Roppongi, this is one tap list you can't miss: 11 draft beers. CRAFT BEER Antonbi Roppongi's Ryudocho branch has released its tap list to match its April 12 Sunday service.
MugiWait, 11 beers from the afternoon!? With that many, I'd get tipsy just deciding what to drink!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is centered around an IPA comparison that's really fun. Mikkeller NZ's Forest Friends, Mother Road's Tower Station IPA, and Limited Visibility Hazy IPA let you enjoy the differences in aroma and bitterness side by side.
MugiSeriously! Is the hop aroma comparison really that different? I was lumping them all together as just "bitter," so I'm rethinking things!
Hop BroIt really is different. Hazy IPA tends to have a hazy, juicy character, and the bitterness comes across as softer. By contrast, an IPA like Tower Station has a sharper, crisper outline.
MugiOhh! So you could run a marathon just on IPAs. And they even have lager and stout too? That's an absurdly broad range!
Hop BroExactly. Swan Lake's Amber Swan, DDC!'s Lazer Lager, and Left Hand's Milk Stout cover malt sweetness and easy drinkability too. Then Ace's Joker Dry and oguna's Apple Hop KOGYOKU make sure people looking for something beyond beer are covered as well.
MugiThat's amazing! When non-beer options are solid too, it's the kind of place where everyone in the group gets saved. Sour-beer fans and people who prefer sweeter drinks won't get left behind!
Hop BroAnd there's also DDC!'s Blanche de Paradis, Solstice d'Ete Cerises, and Black Tide's Tea Time, so you can leap from wheat-style beers to sour styles, and even into tea-cocktail territory. The food, with bamboo shoot salad and salted pork pot-au-feu, is a perfect match for daytime drinking.
MugiWhoa, even bamboo shoot salad? That's almost unfair! In the basement of Roppongi, taking on 11 beers and food at a relaxed pace is absolutely the perfect weekend win.
Hop BroAt this point, the only move is to start at 2:00 p.m. and work through the IPAs one by one. I already feel like heading to Antonbi and choosing my first pint.
MugiMe too! This feels like a top daytime-drinking candidate, and today is definitely one of those days when you want to toast in Roppongi!
Tap List for April 12
CRAFT BEER Antonbi Roppongi's Ryudocho branch, a beer pub in the basement of Tokyo's Roppongi district, is offering 11 draft beers for its Sunday service on April 12. Hours are 14:00-22:00, with last food orders at 21:00 and drinks available until 21:30. It's a convenient schedule that makes it easy to pair food and beer early in the day.
This day's lineup covers a wide range, from hop-forward IPAs to lager, stout, cider, and hard tea. First to stand out are Mikkeller NZ / Forest Friends (IPA), Mother Road / Tower Station IPA, and Mother Road / Limited Visibility (Hazy IPA). If you love IPAs, this is a fun chance to compare their aromas and bitterness side by side.
Meanwhile, Swan Lake / Amber Swan, DDC! / Lazer Lager, and Left Hand / Milk Stout are options that emphasize malt sweetness and easy drinkability. Added to that are Ace / Joker Dry (Cider) and oguna / Apple Hop KOGYOKU, giving guests choices beyond beer as well. The lineup also includes DDC! / Blanche de Paradis (Belgian White), DDC! / Solstice d'Ete Cerises (Cherry Berliner Weisse), and Black Tide / Tea Time (Hard Tea), so you can enjoy everything from light wheat-style beers to fruit-driven sour beers and even a tea-cocktail-like drink.
The food menu features seasonal items such as bamboo shoot salad and salted pork pot-au-feu. As you'd expect from a basement beer pub, it's well suited both for lingering over a few drinks with a meal and for dropping in mainly to compare beers. If you're looking to drink craft beer from the afternoon in Roppongi, this is one to keep in mind.
