Evolve Beer&Kitchen refreshes 11 taps, including a permanent Minoh Beer pour
Evolve Beer&Kitchen in Mukojima, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, released its tap list for April 28. In addition to 11 selections including a VERTERE pilsner and West Coast Brewing's Hazy DIPA, Sapporo Black Label was also on the lineup, along with Golden Week business hours and new food announcements.
Hop BroMukojima's Evolve Beer&Kitchen has updated its 11 taps for April 28. And it even has the feel of a permanent Minoh Beer pour, so this is definitely the kind of place you want to keep going back to.
MugiWait, 11 beers on tap!? Just choosing one sounds like it would turn into a meeting. Isn't the beer shelf getting crowded?
Hop BroAnd it gets interesting right from the top: VERTERE's Bellevalia -ベルバリア- is a pilsner, and then TOUCHDOWN×Taihu Brewing's oolong tea lager comes in too.
MugiAn oolong tea lager? What is that, tea? Beer? My brain is already lost in oolong!
Hop BroBasically, it's the clean finish of a lager with a tea-leaf-like aroma layered on top. And Minoh Beer's Blooming IPA is also marked low, which shows how fast the lineup turns over at this place.
MugiOhhh! And hearing IPA suddenly makes me serious. I'm also curious about West Coast Brewing's No Ketchup; the name alone sounds intense!
Hop BroThat's a good instinct. It's a Hazy Double IPA, so it's the kind that comes in with big haze and hop aroma, plus sweetness and juiciness.
MugiThis place has everything from light to heavy! And they even have Black Label, so being able to choose by mood is pretty strong, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's one of Evolve's strengths: it doesn't lean only into craft beer, and because Black Label is on tap too, the range of people you can drink with is broader. The food is tempting too, like the red-and-white sashimi platter of bluefin tuna and flounder.
MugiWhat, sashimi and even mentaiko cream pasta!? It's a beer place, but the food is serious too, and having new food items this substantial is amazing.
Hop BroAnd because the hours change over Golden Week, checking before you go is a must. For today, I want to enjoy both the reassurance of the permanent Minoh Beer pour and the excitement of 11 taps in Mukojima.
MugiIt's decided, I'll start with a pilsner to see how it goes, then move on to the IPA! Reading this makes me want a drink right now!
Tokyo: the beer pub Evolve Beer&Kitchen, located at the foot of Tokyo Skytree Station in Mukojima, Sumida Ward, published its tap list for April 28. In the post, the shop announced that it would be open from 17:00 to 24:00 that day and also shared its operating schedule for the Golden Week period.
Tap list for the day
There were 11 draft beers in total. Items marked as low remaining were VERTERE's "Bellevalia -ベルバリア-" [Pilsner], TOUCHDOWN×Taihu Brewing's "虎八麦酒" [Oolong Tea Lager], and Minoh Beer's "Blooming IPA" [Bergian IPA]. Some fast-moving labels were included, suggesting the lineup was already turning over by the time of the visit.
The rest of the lineup was Repubrew×Heisei 3 Nenkai's "AGE AGE SAME AGE" [Czech Style Dark Lager], NOMCRAFT BREWING's "バナナキック" [Weizen], Minoh Beer's "Honey Saison" [Honey Saison], Ushitoura Brewery's "イケおじペールエール" [Pale Ale], U.B.P BREWERY's "URAWA CITY ALE Nitro ver."

The selection ranges widely from light pilsners and lagers to saison, weizen, West Coast IPA, and Hazy Double IPA, making it easy to choose according to your mood.
Food and the shop's character
On the food side, new items were added, including a red-and-white sashimi platter of bluefin tuna and flounder, Minoh Ipponsu de raw wakame ponzu, a spinach yukhoe-style dish, and a finishing mentaiko cream pasta. The continuing seared beef tofu dish was also said to be running low, so the menu is full of dishes that pair easily with beer.
A defining feature of the shop is that, while it centers on craft beer, it also offers a broad range of food. The hashtag section also included "permanent Minoh Beer tap," conveying the practicality of a beer pub you can visit on a regular basis. Because hours vary from day to day during Golden Week, it is best to check the latest information before going.
