Ant'n Bee Ryudocho in Roppongi posts 12 draft lines and anniversary notice
CRAFT BEER Ant'n Bee Ryudocho in Roppongi shared its July 14 draft lineup. The post features 12 beers and ciders, including selections from OK,ADAM, Isekadoya, Tsugaru, Black Tide, Embolden, COEDO, Graft, Wolf of Willows, and KCBC, plus a notice for a late-July anniversary event.
Hop BroToday's headline is 12 beers on tap. CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi Ryudocho dropped its July 14 lineup and a note about its 7th anniversary, and it is not messing around.
MugiWait, opening at 5 p.m. on a weekday with that many choices? I'd lose the battle to go home after just one glass.
Hop BroAnd it starts strong: OK, ADAM's Zingle Zingle, Graft's Lost Tropic, and KCBC's Vicious Crush make it a triple cider attack right out of the gate.
MugiWhat, that's not beer? If it's on a tap list, my brain just labels everything 'hoppy mystery liquid.'
Hop BroCider is sparkling fruit booze made from apples instead of malt, so you're getting bright acidity and juicy fruit rather than grainy depth. On a hot day, that's a dangerous first pour.
MugiOhh! Then Isekadoya's ONI-Shibori Lager and Wolf of Willows' Wolfsrudel Helles are the classic lane. But seriously, what is Helles? It sounds like a boss battle.
Hop BroHelles is a soft German lager with gentle malt up front and a clean finish. Put that next to COEDO's Shikkoku and suddenly you're comparing how different lagers sketch out the grain.
MugiAnd then Tsugaru's Arigatou! IPA and Arigatou! Saison, plus Black Tide's Summer Loop and Monster Gold? Just the names already feel like a summer festival.
Hop BroThat's where it gets fun: Hazy IPA is a cloudy juicy IPA, and saison is a dry, rustic farmhouse style. Add Hoya Boya and Shogun Summer in Ryukyu, and every glass changes the mood.
MugiSo it's basically a personality test by pint. And they swapped the tsurumurasaki side for garlic chive ohitashi, with Airu's recommended dishes coming too, so the food matters here.
Hop BroThen from July 31 to August 2 they've got the 7th anniversary event, a Little Summer Festival at the Ryudocho shop. That sounds like the kind of weekend you deliberately keep open.
MugiIt's settled. One visit for July 14, then another for the anniversary. Cheers in Roppongi is officially on my schedule, and my throat is already getting impatient.
July 14 Draft Lineup
Craft Beer Ant'n Bee Ryudocho, an easygoing beer pub near Roppongi Station, says it is open from 17:00 to 24:00 on weekdays, with food last orders at 23:00 and drinks at 23:30. It is the kind of place that works well for an after-work stop in central Tokyo.
Twelve lines were announced for the day. The cider side includes OK,ADAM's Zingle Zingle, Graft's Lost Tropic, and KCBC's Vicious Crush, giving the board some bright acidity and fruit-forward options. For maltier choices, Isekadoya's ONI-Shibori Lager, Wolf of Willows' Wolfsrudel Helles, and COEDO's Shikkoku cover lager, helles, and schwarz territory.
The hop-forward range is broader still: Tsugaru's Arigatou! IPA and Arigatou! Saison, Black Tide's Summer Loop, Monster Gold, and Hoya Boya, plus Embolden's Shogun Summer in Ryukyu. The lineup moves from Hazy IPA to fruit ale, so the tap board offers several directions rather than a single style focus.
The post also notes a change in the greens dish, a new recommended dish arriving later, and a seventh-anniversary celebration, Small Summer Festival, scheduled for July 31 through August 2. For beer drinkers looking for variety in Roppongi, this is a bar worth keeping on the radar.
