Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae shares a six-beer tap lineup
Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae in Sumida, Tokyo, posted its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup features six beers from brewers including U.B.P Brewing and Black Tide Brewing, alongside a note on why the shop stepped away from fireworks-festival vending.
Hop BroToday’s six-beer tap list is a good one. Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae in Sumida just posted its latest lineup, and IPA fans are going to lock in fast.
MugiWait, between Ryogoku and Kuramae? That sounds dangerously easy to visit on a walk. What’s on tap?
Hop BroYou’ve got U.B.P Brewing’s Counter Attack!, plus Grandline Brewing’s Only Impact, both American IPAs. Then Black Tide Brewing’s Hoya Boya ver. 5.3 is a Hazy IPA, Rio Brewing.Co’s SOCIAL GRAVITY is a DDH Hazy DIPA, and they round it out with open air brewing’s raspberry wheat and Craft Bank’s 04-KOLSCH.
MugiDDH Hazy DIPA sounds like a spell. If I say it three times, does a pint appear?
Hop BroClose enough. Extra-loaded hops is the simple version: DDH means more dry hopping for bigger aroma, and Hazy DIPA means juicy, cloudy IPA with a stronger kick.
MugiOhhh! So SOCIAL GRAVITY is basically tropical chaos mode? Even the name sounds like a final boss.
Hop BroAnd this place even skipped the fireworks booth to focus on in-store service. Instead of chasing the usual summer move, they doubled down on the bar and hit 1.5 times last year’s fireworks-day sales.
MugiWait, 1.5x the sales? That’s huge. Choosing the bar over the festival stand actually worked? What happened with the glassware idea?
Hop BroThey tried a better-looking vessel, but dropped it because of fit and handling issues. Picking drinkability over pure aesthetics feels very 'Everyone’s Brew Hub,' honestly.
MugiNow I’m invested. I could go full IPA mode, then take a breather with raspberry wheat. Planning the tasting order is already fun.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty here: real tasting range. You can start with American IPA, drift into hazy territory, then reset with a Kolsch-style beer like 04-KOLSCH. It’s built for lingering over a few glasses.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want a pint now, and I want it at Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae.
Minnano Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae, a beer pub in Ishihara, Sumida-ku, Tokyo, shared its latest tap lineup on Instagram. The bar presents itself as an "Everyone’s Brew Hub," aiming to create a place where people connect through beer.
The post also explained why the team stopped operating a stall at fireworks festivals and chose to focus on in-store service instead. Rather than following a summer tradition by default, they doubled down on the bar itself and said the result was sales at 1.5 times last year’s fireworks-festival level. One vessel idea was abandoned because it did not stack well, but the post framed that kind of trial and error as part of the shop’s willingness to question assumptions.
The lineup for the day was:
- Counter Attack! / U.B.P Brewing (American IPA)
- Only Impact / Grandline Brewing (American IPA)
- Hoya Boya ver. 5.3 / Black Tide Brewing (Hazy IPA)
- SOCIAL GRAVITY / Rio Brewing.Co (DDH Hazy DIPA)
- raspberry wheat / open air brewing (Fruited Wheat)
- 04-KOLSCH / Craft Bank (KÖLSCH Style)
With IPA, hazy DIPA, fruited wheat, and Kölsch-style beer on tap, the list offers plenty of range for comparison drinking. For beer fans in the Ryogoku-Kuramae area, it looks like a solid stop for a slow, glass-by-glass session.
