Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand posts Aug. 15 tap list with bread pop-up
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome, Bunkyo, shared its Aug. 15 Saturday service details. The tap list includes eight beers, alongside a bread pop-up by 千石 Bakery TOAST.
Hop BroThe big topic for Saturday, August 15 is Hinomoto's 8 refreshed taps. Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome is pairing that lineup with a summer bread festival, and that combo is just too good.
MugiWait, a summer bread festival at a beer spot? And eight beers on tap too? My stomach just opened its calendar!
Hop BroThat's the beauty of it. Bakery TOAST from Sengoku is bringing a bread sampler plate with things like long sausage bread, shrimp focaccia, anchovy olive French bread, and fig bread in small portions.
MugiWhoa, but Little Thing being a Dry Hopped Session Ale sounds like a traffic jam of jargon. Cute name, sudden beer exam!
Hop BroWhat that really means is light but aromatic. A session ale is easy to drink at 4.5%, and dry hopping means adding hops later to boost the aroma.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! Then what about the new Saburo Hazy? Just hearing Hazy IPA already sounds like the cool kid at the party.
Hop BroSaburo Hazy is a cloudy-style IPA with a solid 7% punch but a softer mouthfeel. Put it next to Rolling Lolly, an American IPA, and Mashup IPA Ekuanot, a Belgian IPA, and you really see how differently hops can show up.
MugiNo way, even the IPAs have that much personality? And then there's Pineapple Gose too? That feels like a tropical transfer student just walked into the classroom!
Hop BroExactly. Gose has gentle tartness and salinity, and the pineapple makes it even breezier, so it should pair really well with the bread. Then you can finish with Kurotobi #4, a Belgian stout, or move through Komagome Best Bitter and Ryusui Soso #2, the Italian pilsner.
MugiWow, going through bread and 8 taps in order sounds like a full mission. I'd probably end up saying, with a straight face, 'This is research.'
Hop BroAnd around 7 p.m. there's also the bread pop-up sale with TOAST's Hirose. With a range from easy session beer to stout, this is absolutely a dangerous day for anyone who loves tasting flights.
MugiI'm sold. I want to start with Little Thing and finish with Kurotobi #4, and I want a drink right now. This article completely did me in!
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Komagome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, will be open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, August 15, and is pairing the day with a summer bread event. The post says 千石 Bakery TOAST will offer a mixed plate of snackable breads, including long sausage, shrimp focaccia, anchovy olive French, crispy cheese, rye bread, and fig bread. Leftovers can be taken home, and a bread sale by TOAST Hirose is also planned to start around 7 p.m.
The day's tap list spans a wide range of styles, from lighter beer to stout.
- Little Thing / Dry Hopped Session Ale, 4.5%
- (NEW)三郎 Hazy / Hazy IPA, 7%
- 流水草々 #2 / Italian Pilsner, 5.5%
- Mashup IPA Ekuanot / Belgian IPA, 6.5%
- Rolling Lolly / American IPA, 7.5%
- パイナップルゴーぜ / Gose Style with pineapple, 5%
- 駒込Best Bitter / English Best Bitter, 4.5%
- 黒鳶 #4 / Belgian Stout, 7%
The lineup moves from session ale and pilsner to IPA, gose, best bitter, and stout, which makes it an easy beer-and-bread day rather than a one-note hop showcase. The brewery bar is closed on Wednesdays and usually serves craft beer only, with a small snack-first approach that fits the pub format well.
