Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand lines up 7 domestic beers for the May 19 taps
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Hon-Komagome, Tokyo, has released its tap list for Tuesday, May 19. From Kveik Pale Ale and West Coast IPA to Hazy IPA and Belgian Stout, seven domestic craft beers are on offer.
Hop BroToday’s feature is the brewpub Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Hon-Komagome, Tokyo. The seven domestic beers are all lined up, and the May 19 tap list is pretty adventurous.
MugiWhoa, that’s amazing! And with food centered on Kaki-Bee and dagashi snacks, I’m even more curious. It sounds less like a stylish bar and more like total focus on beer?
Hop BroExactly. This is a place where beer is the star. It’s open on weekdays from 17:00 to 23:00 and closed on Wednesdays, just a five-minute walk from Komagome Station. It’s easy to use in everyday life, and I like how boldly they stick to domestic craft beer only.
MugiBut wait, what even is a Kveik Pale Ale? Kveik sounds like a spell or something!
Hop BroGood catch. Kveik comes from Norwegian yeast culture, and in simple terms it’s a yeast that thrives at warmer temperatures. That means the aroma comes through easily, and ぺーぺーぺー / Kveik Pale Ale stays light and lively while still showing character.
MugiOhh! Then the West Coast IPA called Seiten Raimei #2 already sounds electric from the name!
Hop BroExactly. A West Coast IPA has a crisp hop profile, so bitterness and citrus notes tend to come through cleanly. By contrast, EL BAMP HAZY / Hazy IPA brings a cloudy, juicy feel with a soft sweet aroma.
MugiThat’s so different even though they’re both IPAs! And Yunosu Saison with its yuzu nuance sounds so Japanese and cute just from the name.
Hop BroThat’s part of what makes it interesting. Saison originally comes from farmhouse seasonal beer, so it tends to lean dry and spicy. With 駒込Brown / Brown Saison, 駒込Best Bitter / English Best Bitter, and even 黒鳶 #4 / Belgian Stout on the list, you can travel from lighter beers all the way to dark ones.
MugiAnd there’s even a Japanese food culture talk starting at 19:00? Learning while drinking sounds perfect. I’d definitely want to grab some Kaki-Bee and have a drink there!

In addition, `EL BAMP HAZY / Hazy IPA` and `黒鳶 #4 / Belgian Stout` rounded out the selection, creating an easy-to-choose lineup ranging from light and lively styles to fuller-bodied dark beers.
A talk event themed around "Japanese food culture," presented by bath-and-travel navigator Professor Sawauchi, was also scheduled to begin at 19:00 that day.
