Craft Beer ANT'N BEE Roppongi lines up 11 taps on June 6
Craft Beer ANT'N BEE Roppongi, a beer pub in the basement at 5-1-5 Roppongi, updated its Saturday tap list on June 6. The lineup spans pilsner, cider, IPA, black lager, kelsch, session saison, doburoku beer, and sour styles.
Hop BroAnton Bee Roppongi's latest list has 11 beers on tap, and the lineup is seriously good. For Saturday, June 6, they've got everything from pilsner and IPA to dark beer and even doburoku-style beer, so it really hits that daytime drinking urge.
MugiWhat, perfect for day drinking? That's amazing. If they open at 2:00 p.m. in Roppongi, that means first beer while it's still bright outside!
Hop BroExactly. For your first pour, Strubbe's Greatest Pils or Cogg's Cidre's Koto Koto 2024 would be easy starts. One is crisp, the other has fruity character, so the runway is nice and smooth.
MugiHold on, a fruity cider is on the tap list too? That's not even beer. Also, what do you mean by runway, are we launching a plane now?
Hop BroThat's the fun part: the range on tap is wide. They aren't limiting it to just beer, so it's easier to choose like, "I'll start light today," and that makes the whole tasting flight way more fun.
MugiOoh, then I'm already curious about DDC! and COEDO. Even the names sound powerful, like rare loot in an RPG!
Hop BroIf you want aroma, Belching Beaver's Phantom Bride and Hardywood's Tropication stand out. For the quirky side, there's COEDO's Shikkoku plus DDC!'s Petit Morale and Blanche du Paradis. And I'm also eyeing that session saison from Ushitora, SA-gyo ga ienai.
MugiThere it is, session saison! Is that a beer style or some kind of spell chant? My tongue and brain both got left behind!
Hop BroPut simply, it's light but aromatic and easy to drink. "Session" usually means lower alcohol, and "saison" means a dry beer with a slightly spicy aroma, so it stays refreshing even after a few glasses.
MugiOhh, got it! So I could do a wild style comparison with the dark COEDO Shikkoku and the doburoku-style Beer Herun OROCHI SUI NANA KANBA?
Hop BroExactly. And being able to drink at your own pace in that basement space is very CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi. Food last order is 11:00 p.m. and drinks go until 11:30, so you can build a full day-to-night plan.
MugiThen it's settled, I want to get there at 2:00 and work through the taps one by one. Start with a pilsner, bounce into IPA, and finish on a dark beer. Now I really want a drink!
An 11-beer Saturday lineup
