Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae to host open air brewing tap takeover on Sept. 12
Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae, a beer pub in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, posted an update on August 28, 2026. The post includes an apology and clarification about the owner's summer break, plus a notice for an open air brewing tap takeover on September 12 and the bar's current tap lineup.
Hop BroI have a Ryogoku beer update for you. The September 12 TTO is the headline, and Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku Kuramae is bringing in Hyogo's open air brewing.
MugiWait, taking over the taps sounds like a wrestling finisher! Does TTO mean one brewery turns the whole draft board into its own festival?
Hop BroThat is basically it. Tap Takeover means one brewery fills the lines, and this one should let people taste open air brewing's character in one shot.
MugiWhoa, and the current list already looks strong. GOHOBI IPA and Game Night have main-character energy just from the names!
Hop BroIt really does. The current six beers on tap are nicely spread out: Yellow Monkey Brewing's GOHOBI IPA, West Coast Brewing's Game Night, Black Tide Brewing's Hoya Boya ver. 5.3, The Trial: Pomona, Pineapple Party, and Craft Bank's 04-KOLSCH.
MugiHold on, NZ IPA, Hazy DIPA, KOLSCH Style... that is an alarming amount of wizardry for one menu!
Hop BroQuick version: New Zealand hops often bring bright grapey and tropical aromas to an IPA. Hazy means cloudy and juicy, DIPA means bigger and stronger, and Kolsch-style means crisp and easy to drink.
MugiOkay, now all of that sounds delicious. So hop chasers and lighter-drinking people both get a lane with this very kind lineup!
Hop BroExactly. And the Instagram post was not just promotion. After explaining and apologizing over the owner's summer-break issue, it also laid out the upcoming schedule: CAN SHARE NIGHT on September 26, a TTO plus the second anniversary on October 11, and another TTO on November 7.
MugiAnd they are serving pizza too, right? Draft beer and pizza is completely unfair. I already want to show up hungry and start a tasting round.
Hop BroThat is the correct strategy. With the open air brewing takeover and the current range on tap, a pint in Ryogoku sounds hard to resist already.
