The Cat & Cask Tavern: Four Beers on Tap on April 22, Including Kameido Beer’s “Suijin Pale Ale”
At the beer pub The Cat & Cask Tavern in Koyamachi, Tokyo, four beers from Kameido Beer and Minoh will be on draft on Wednesday, April 22. Set in a quiet British-style house, the lineup reflects the shop’s character, including its small-group-only, cash-on-delivery service style.
Hop BroThe Cat & Cask Tavern in Tokyo’s Koyamachi has put out its tap info for April 22. In a British-style house where you can drink quietly, it’s a lineup that really fits the place.
MugiWhat! A house-style beer pub already feels special! And a calm British-style space somehow feels like a secret base and gets me excited~.
Hop BroWhat’s interesting is that the Japanese craft section has three handpump taps and three draft taps. It’s set up so you can enjoy both hand-pulled real ale and standard draft.
MugiWait, what! How is real ale different from regular draft beer? Just the idea of a hand-poured beer suddenly makes it sound artisanal!
Hop BroIn rough terms, it’s the kind that continues conditioning naturally in the cask, so the carbonation is a little softer and the aroma comes through more easily. This time, Osaru IPA is coming in as a real ale, so even the same IPA should show a different character.
MugiWow, and the name is cute, which is unfair! Once I hear “Osaru IPA,” I want to drink it even before knowing what’s inside.
Hop BroThe four beers that day are Kameido Beer’s Suijin Pale Ale, Minoh’s Nice Bitter, Session Black IPA, and Osaru IPA. From a light pour to one with a strong hop presence and one that shows off malt character, the lineup covers the range, making it fun to compare them side by side.
MugiWhoa, it’s a style traffic jam! Pale ale, bitter, black IPA - the flavor directions are totally jammed up, but it’s amazing how well it all comes together.
Hop BroThey’re open Wednesday through Saturday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with the last food order at 9:00 p.m. and beer at 9:30 p.m. It’s a small-group operation, limited to four people per party, and payment is cash on delivery, so it’s the kind of place that suits a day when you want to take your time choosing and drinking.
MugiI see, so it’s perfect for a slow-drinking day rather than rushing and making noise! If we drank the four in order, both Hop-nii and I would probably be grinning nonstop. I want to go right now~!
Tokyo’s Koyamachi beer pub The Cat & Cask Tavern has announced its draft lineup for Wednesday, April 22. The shop is a house-style venue with a British atmosphere and aims to create a quiet, relaxing space. For Japanese craft beer, it features three handpump real-ale taps and three draft taps, allowing guests to enjoy a different combination each day.
The beers that day are four kinds: Kameido Beer “Suijin Pale Ale,” Minoh “Nice Bitter,” Minoh “Session Black IPA,” and Minoh “Osaru IPA” real ale. Pale ale, bitter, black IPA, and IPA, each with a different direction, make for a lineup that ranges from a light, easy drink to a more hop-forward pour and options with pronounced malt character. The real ale is served as one cask per week starting on Wednesdays, and on this day “Osaru IPA” fills that slot.
The pub is open Wednesday through Saturday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Last order for food is 9:00 p.m., and last order for beer is 9:30 p.m. Groups are limited to four people per party, and payment is cash on delivery. With its seating limits and deliberate service pace, it is a place suited to a day when you want to choose your beer slowly.
