Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand posts June 12 tap list with nine house beers
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome posted its June 12 tap list, featuring nine house beers including Sauvin Belgo, a West Coast IPA, and a Belgian Stout, while also announcing upcoming event appearances.
Hop BroToday’s list from Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand looks strong. They’ve got nine house-brewed beers on June 12, led by Sauvin Belgo, and that’s the kind of lineup that pulls you in after work.
MugiWhat! nine house beers in one pub? In Hon-Komagome? That’s dangerously convenient, like my self-control just clocked out early.
Hop BroThe headliner is Sauvin Belgo. It’s an American Belgo Style Ale, so it sounds like a nice gateway into that floral, expressive Belgian-inspired character.
MugiHold on, Belgian yeast vibes? What does that even mean? Why does beer suddenly sound like a chemistry pop quiz?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it means fruity fermentation aroma. Belgian-style yeast can give off notes like fruit or spice, so the beer feels lively instead of flat.
MugiOooh! Then Yunosu Saison is calling my name too. A Yuzu Sour Saison already sounds crisp, bright, and way too easy to keep ordering.
Hop BroThat one sounds great, and if you want clear hop character, Seiten Raimei #2 and EL BAMP HAZY would be a fun side-by-side. Same IPA territory, but West Coast is sharper while Hazy is softer and juicier.
MugiWait, the same IPA family can act that different? So one is the strict cool senior, and the other is the fluffy crowd favorite?
Hop BroExactly. And if you want something lighter, Ryusui Soso #2 as an Italian Pilsner or Komagome Best Bitter makes sense, then Kurotobi #4 as a Belgian Stout to finish on a calmer note.
MugiThat’s a list where you can build a whole day around your mood. And even with tap six empty, there are still nine beers, so I might spend so long choosing that the bar closes on me.
Hop BroAnd it keeps going: there’s a Chitoyo pop-up on June 13 and the Crank Beer 8th Anniversary Beer Picnic on June 14. This is one of those weeks where I want to catch them both at the taproom and out in the wild.
MugiThen it’s settled, we need a first pint strategy. Start with Sauvin Belgo or save room for Kurotobi #4 at the end? Either way, now I want a beer immediately.
On June 12, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand posted its tap list. The brewery-taproom is located on the first floor of Green Pia Honkomagome in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, and keeps beer-friendly hours: 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays, 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends and holidays, with Wednesdays closed.
Tap list
Nine house beers were listed, with tap 6 left open:
- Sauvin Belgo / American Belgo Style Ale
- Pee-Pee-Pee / Norwegian Pale Ale
- Seiken Raimei #2 / West Coast IPA
- Ryusui Sousa #2 / Italian Pilsner
- Yunosu Saison / Yuzu Sour Saison
- Komagome Brown / Brown Saison
- Komagome Best Bitter / English Best Bitter
- EL BAMP HAZY / Hazy IPA
- Kurotobi #4 / Belgian Stout
The range is broad enough to cover several moods. If you want hop intensity, the West Coast IPA and Hazy IPA lead the way; if you want something crisp and easy to keep drinking, the Italian Pilsner and Best Bitter fit that role; and if you prefer a deeper finish, the Belgian Stout closes the set with weight. The lineup reflects the taproom's straightforward beer-first setup.
The post also notes two upcoming off-site appearances: Chitoyo, a night market in Chitose-Funabashi, on June 13, and the Crank Beer 8th Anniversary Beer Picnic on June 14. It is a busy weekend for a Komagome brewery that balances taproom service with event appearances.
