11 Drafts, Including Isekadoya and 8bit, Arrive at Antonbee Roppongi
The beer pub “CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi” in Roppongi has released its draft lineup for May 29. The selection includes Isekadoya’s Sour IPA and DDH Hazy IPA, along with XPA, pilsner, cider, and more, for a total of 11 offerings. On Friday nights, it stays open until midnight.
Hop BroIn the basement of Roppongi, it’s a traffic jam of 11 drafts. CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi just dropped its May 29 lineup, and it’s hot that they’ve got two Isekadoya beers plus 8bit in the mix.
MugiWhoa! Eleven beers lined up? With that many, I’d get lost just looking at the menu!
Hop BroFirst up are Isekadoya’s “Electro Squash Sour IPA” and “DDH Citra Hazy IPA.” The contrast between tartness and juiciness is really clear: the former is sharp and refreshing, while the latter puts Citra hop aroma out front.
MugiWhat is DDH, anyway? The more letters it has, the stronger it looks. It’s like a spell!
Hop BroDDH stands for double dry hopping, a method that adds hops again after fermentation to boost aroma. It’s like layering on aroma afterward, so instead of bitterness, the aroma and juiciness stand out more.
MugiOhhh, that sounds easy to drink! And they’ve got Wolf of Willows’ XPA and Ushitora’s pilsner too, so the lighter styles are well covered.
Hop BroExactly, and on top of that there’s DDC !’s Belgian White, Moriyama-En’s cider, and Beer Herun’s milk stout, so the range is huge. From a post-dinner pick to fruit-forward cider, it’s a lineup you can choose from based on your mood.
MugiWait, not just beer but cider too!? This is basically an amusement park of flavors! I honestly can’t decide where to start.
Hop BroThe hours are convenient too: weekdays from 17:00 to 24:00, food until 23:00, and drinks until 23:30. Easy to stop by on a Friday night is the sneaky appealing part.
MugiAnd if the seating is limited, that means booking early is the safe move, right? It might be perfect for a night of serious tasting in Roppongi!
Hop BroAt the end of the day, it’s settled: if you go from Isekadoya’s sour one all the way to 8bit’s sour, tonight becomes a cheers route.
MugiYep, the moment I finished reading, my throat started wanting a drink! A pint in Roppongi sounds like something I want to do right now!
At the beer pub “CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi,” located on the first basement floor in Roppongi, Tokyo, the draft lineup for May 29 has been updated. The shop also offers cider alongside craft beer, and on this day the taps range widely from hop-forward IPAs to white ale, stout, and cider.
What first stands out are Isekadoya’s two beers. “Electro Squash Sour IPA” looks like it should deliver the tartness typical of a sour IPA, while “DDH Citra Hazy IPA,” as its name suggests, is a pint that puts Citra hop aroma and juiciness front and center. Following them are Wolf of Willows’ “PUP” (XPA) and Ushitora’s “JIKKURI KOTOKOTO nikonda Pils,” creating a lineup that balances light drinkability with satisfying depth.
There is also a broad range of other styles: DDC !’s “Blanche du Paradis” (Belgian White), Moriyama-En’s “EN-Cidre SAIKA,” Mother Road’s “Roadside Grove” (Citrus IPA), Beer Herun’s “EN-MUSUBI Stout” (Milk Stout), Hopworks’ “Vera Haze Frequency” (Hazy IPA), Zeraia’s “Euskal Sagardoa2024” (Sidra), and 8bit’s “Maria Tart : Phantom Stronghold” (Sour). The spread is quite wide. Depending on your mood, you can choose anything from an aroma-driven IPA to a post-dinner stout, a smooth white beer, or a fruit-forward cider.
The shop is open from 17:00 to 24:00 on weekdays, food is served until 23:00, and drinks until 23:30. Its Friday-night hours make it easy to stop by for a drink after work, and the post also notes that seating is limited and that groups should contact the shop in advance for peace of mind. It is a convenient spot for those days when you want to take your time comparing draft beers in Roppongi.
