Hop BroAt The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho, the April 28 draft lineup has changed out. Kameido Beer and Minoh are on tap, and I can't get enough of the British-style atmosphere when I drink there.
MugiWhat, there's a place like that in Kanamecho! A standalone beer pub sounds like a secret base, and that alone is exciting!
Hop BroThe lineup has three beers rotated in: Kameido Beer's Suijin Pale Ale, Minoh's Nice Bitter, and Minoh's Session Black IPA. It's exactly the kind of lineup that makes you want to compare them all.
MugiSession Black IPA? What even is that! The name sounds so strong that I have no idea whether it's light or heavy, even though it's black!
Hop BroGood question. It's the kind of easy-drinking black IPA that still has IPA aroma, but isn't too heavy on the palate. "Session" means the alcohol is kept lower so you can drink it for longer.
MugiI see, that makes sense! Now I'm curious about the bitter too, and there's a pale ale as well, so I can't stop wanting to drink them one by one!
Hop BroWhat's more, this week they're not serving real ale, so it's a draft-focused operation. The place has three handpump taps and three draft taps, so today is a chance to really enjoy the character of the taps.
MugiWait, they even have opening hours? Wednesday through Saturday means I really need to check before going or I'll get lost!
Hop BroThey're open 18:00 to 22:00, food last order is 21:00, and beer last order is 21:30. Plus, it's limited to four people per group, and because it's cash on delivery, it's the kind of place that's perfect for dropping in and having a quick drink.
MugiThat sounds so nice and relaxed. And regular hours during Golden Week too? That's amazing. I definitely want to go sometime during the holiday!
Hop BroJust remember that they're closed from May 13, so it's worth being careful around those dates. If we line up a bitter, a pale ale, and a black IPA in Kanamecho, I feel like tonight we'll both end up talking about nothing but beer.
MugiYeah, I'm completely on board now! My drink choice for tonight is decided, and I want to go to Kanamecho and compare them all!

Drafts for April 28
In the announcement for the day, the pub said the draft beer lineup would be rotated to the following three selections.
- Kameido Beer Suijin Pale Ale
- Minoh Nice Bitter
- Minoh Session Black IPA
All of them are listed as "remaining ?????," so anyone who wants to drink them should probably come early. Also, real ale is off this week, so this time the lineup is centered on draft beer.
Business hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 18:00 to 22:00. Food last order is 21:00, beer last order is 21:30, parties are limited to up to four people per group, and the pub asks guests to use cash on delivery. In a calm interior, it is a perfect setup for comparing a bitter, a pale ale, and a black IPA in order.
The announcement also says the pub will keep regular hours throughout Golden Week, regardless of holidays. On the other hand, it will be closed for a substitute holiday from Wednesday, May 13 to Saturday, May 16. If you're looking for a leisurely drink in Kanamecho, it would be best to check the opening days and tap changes before visiting.
