The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho Announces Four Beers for March 11
The beer pub "The Cat & Cask Tavern" in Kanamecho, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, has announced the beers it will serve on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. This lineup consists of a pale ale, an imperial stout, a Helles, and a bitter served as a real ale, making for a tasting set with a clearly defined shape.
Hop BroThe March 11 tap list that The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho posted is a really good lineup.
MugiWhoa! So much can change in one day? Just hearing "four-beer tasting" is enough to get me excited!
Hop BroThis time it's a style-by-style lineup: Brimmer's pale ale, Minoh's imperial stout, Hansharo Beer's Morning Dew Helles, and Minoh's Nice Bitter (real ale).
MugiWhat! Pale ale and Helles are both light-colored, but what's the difference?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, pale ale tends to put the hop aroma up front, while Helles is all about the gentle character of the malt, and Helles is a bottom-fermented lager.
MugiOhhh! Suddenly it's a science lesson! So how would you describe that bottom-fermented lager in tasty terms?
Hop BroBecause it ferments slowly at low temperatures, it doesn't develop much roughness, and the result is a clean, crisp drinking impression. And Nice Bitter is the one where you can look forward to the texture that comes from a hand pump.
MugiWhoa, then if we start with Helles, move to the pale ale, and finish with the stout, the course is complete!
Hop BroExactly. From the English-pub atmosphere to the Wednesday-Saturday 18:00-22:00 hours, and the one cask of real ale every Wednesday, the whole operation matches the character of the place.
MugiIt's decided! Tonight, we'll head to Kanamecho and drink properly from the first glass to the finish!
The Cat & Cask Tavern updated its tap information for the day as "March 11 (Wed) Beers". The four beers announced this time are listed below.
- Brimmer Brewing "Pale Ale"
- Minoh "Imperial Stout"
- Hansharo Beer "Morning Dew Helles"
- Minoh "Nice Bitter" (real ale)
The key point is that four very different styles are available in a single day: a pale ale and Helles that go down light and easy, an imperial stout with roasty depth and body, and even a bitter served as a real ale, where you can look forward to the texture that comes from a hand pump. The range of aromas and flavors is broad, making this a lineup that is easy to build from the first glass to the final one.
The shop is a standalone craft beer bar designed around the atmosphere of an English pub. It aims to create a space where people can drink in a relaxed mood, and continues to serve those who want to take their time enjoying beer in the Kanamecho area. According to the announcement, real ale is one cask every Wednesday, and the draught selection changes regularly. Business hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 18:00 to 22:00 (food L.O. 21:00, beer L.O. 21:30).
This is an update where the character of the shop and the tap lineup line up perfectly, making it a day craft beer fans who want to check out different styles won't want to miss.
