Kanamecho’s The Cat & Cask Tavern to feature a Minoh Beer-heavy tap lineup on February 25
The beer pub The Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, announced the beers it will serve on February 25, 2026. The post showed a lineup weighted heavily toward Minoh Beer, with a mix of core staples and seasonally evocative labels available at the same time. It is a good fit for a day when you want to linger over a few pints in a calm, British-style space.
Hop BroThe Cat & Cask Tavern in Kanamecho had a pretty interesting day on February 25 with a Minoh Beer-heavy tap lineup.
MugiWhoa! That sounds interesting. What beers were on? Something like five featured picks?
Hop BroExactly. It was the ultimate tasting set: Brimmer Brewing Pale Ale, Minoh’s Nice Bitter, Masaji Beer Seya!, Mellow Lemon, and Osaru IPA.
MugiWhat! The names alone are exciting! I’d definitely love the seasonal feel of Mellow Lemon!
Hop BroAnd it ranged from bitter to IPA, so it was a lineup where you could easily feel the hop aroma, bitterness, and in other words the difference in IBU.
MugiIBU suddenly sounds like science! What is that? The bitterness meter?
Hop BroThat’s the idea. Roughly speaking, it’s a guide to bitterness. Also, the post had draft swap info marked with `>>>`, so you could tell how the casks were moving, which is catnip for enthusiasts.
MugiOh, nice! That makes it more likely you’ll catch the beer you want. But it did say real ale was off, so that is good to know.
Hop BroExactly. Hours are Wednesday to Saturday, 18:00 to 22:00, with L.O. at 21:30, and it is perfect for slowly working through a few pints in a British-style house pub.
MugiThat settles it! I want to go in order from bitter to IPA and finish with a pale ale to round things out. I want to go for a pint right now!
In the "Beers for Wednesday, February 25" post released by The Cat & Cask Tavern, several labels were listed as the day’s tap lineup. The post also included replacement information marked with `>>>`, making it easy to see how the draft selection was changing.
Highlights for February 25
- Brimmer Brewing "Pale Ale"
- Minoh "Nice Bitter"
- Minoh "Masaji Beer Seya!"
- Minoh "Mellow Lemon"
- Minoh "Osaru IPA"
The standout feature of the lineup that day is the strong presence of Minoh Beer. With a bitter, an IPA, and even a beer that evokes lemon notes, it is an easy lineup for comparing hop-driven impressions and differences in mouthfeel as you move through the glasses. Brimmer Brewing’s Pale Ale is also listed, making it a good day for setting up a comparison axis among Japanese craft beers.
The shop also noted that real ale would be off this week. Visitors hoping for hand-pump service should keep that in mind. Opening hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 18:00 to 22:00, with beer last orders at 21:30. True to its identity as a house pub with an English atmosphere, the appeal of the place is not raucous energy alone, but the chance to sit quietly and work your way through a few well-chosen pints. For anyone in the Kanamecho area looking to calmly enjoy carefully selected domestic craft beer, this was a very fitting lineup.
