Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand posts Aug. 17 tap list in Komagome
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, will be open from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 17. The post highlights house beers such as Little Thing and Sanro Hazy across an eight-beer lineup.
Hop BroToday's feature is Hinomoto Brewing in Honkomagome, open on August 17 from 5 to 11 p.m. with eight beers on tap, from easy-drinking to stout.
MugiWait, eight beers on tap? That's a lot, and right in Honkomagome too? That sounds very dangerous for my self-control!
Hop BroFor the first pint, Little Thing looks perfect. It's a Dry Hopped Session Ale at 4.5%, so it stays light but still gives you a solid hop aroma.
MugiHold on, Dry Hopped Session Ale sounds like a spell. How can something be light and still smell big?
Hop BroThat comes from dry hopping. You add hops after fermentation for aroma, so you get citrusy character without making the beer too heavy.
MugiOooh! Then Saburo Hazy is calling me too. The name already sounds juicy, fluffy, and a little chaotic in the best way!
Hop BroExactly. It has that juicy haze energy you want from a Hazy IPA, and the lineup also includes Ryusui Soso #2 and Komagome Best Bitter, so the whole flight has great balance.
MugiWhat is this, there's even Belgian IPA? Mashup IPA Ekuanot sounds like it should have its own tour poster!
Hop BroAnd for the finish, Kurotobi #4 brings a Belgian Stout. If you slip Pineapple Gose in the middle, the acidity and salt reset your palate beautifully.
MugiThis is too good, it's basically from aperitif to finale, and my so-called quick drink would absolutely turn into an eight-beer journey.
Hop BroEven with taps 1 and 9 open, this is still a tasting lock. I already want to start with Little Thing and finish with Kurotobi #4.
MugiThat's not fair, now I want a toast right now. Let's go to Hinomoto and turn those eight taps into a full adventure!
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, will be open from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 17. The post says it is a normal service day and notes a tapenade snack on offer. The taproom keeps a casual setup with counter and standing-room seating, and pours domestic craft beer only across 10 taps.
The day’s tap list leans from light to dark:
- Little Thing / Dry Hopped Session Ale, 4.5%
- 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%
Slots 1 and 9 were left empty, so the lineup focused on eight beers. It is a straightforward house-beer post, but the range is broad enough to move from a session ale and pilsner into hop-forward IPAs, a fruit-accented gose, a bitter, and a stout.
