Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand updates its July 27 tap list with seven beers
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo City, posted its July 27 tap list. The lineup includes Sauvin Belgo, Mashup IPA Ekuanot, and Koma-come Best Bitter, with a weekend hot-dog pop-up also announced.
Hop BroToday's topic is Hinomoto's 7 taps. On July 27, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand is pouring from 5 PM to 11 PM, which is basically an ideal weekday stop-in.
MugiWait, a seven-beer lineup? I'd panic before my first pour. Which one's the headliner?
Hop BroThe core looks like Sauvin Belgo and Mashup IPA. One is an American Belgo Style Ale at 6%, the other a Belgian IPA at 6.5%, so you can compare Belgian character with hop expression side by side.
MugiHold on, Belgian character sounds like exam vocabulary! What does that actually taste like?
Hop BroIn plain terms, Belgian yeast aromatics often bring spicy and fruity notes. It sounds technical, but really it's the kind of aroma that makes you stop and go, 'oh, nice.'
MugiOoh! Then if I want to start easy, would Ryusui Soso #2 or Komagome Best Bitter make sense? That name already sounds dangerously drinkable.
Hop BroThat's a solid read. Italian Pilsner at 5.5% gives you crispness plus hop aroma, and Komagome Best Bitter at 4.5% is easy with food. Then Rolling Lolly at 7.5% steps in as the heavier hitter.
MugiBut the one grabbing me is Pineapple Gose! Is gose a technique? A spell? A tropical greeting?
Hop BroClose, but no. Gose with pineapple usually means gentle tartness, a touch of salinity, and bright fruit. Since the place keeps snacks light and beer center stage, pairing it with the weekend potato chip dog sounds dangerously good.
MugiNow I'm fully locked on that after-work pint. Do I finish with Kurotobi #4, the Belgian stout, or dive straight into Sauvin Belgo? I'm genuinely struggling here!
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand, a brewpub in Honkomagome, Bunkyo City, posted its tap list for Monday, July 27. The bar is open from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and it is closed on Wednesdays. The update notes that it is regular service that day, making it a straightforward stop for people looking to drop in after work.
Taps for the day
- Sauvin Belgo / American Belgo Style Ale, 6%
- Ryūsōsō #2 / Italian Pilsner, 5.5%
- Mashup IPA Ekuanot / Belgian IPA, 6.5%
- Rolling Lolly / American IPA, 7.5%
- Pineapple Gose / Gose style with pineapple, 5%
- Komagome Best Bitter / English Best Bitter, 4.5%
- Kurotobi #4 / Belgian Stout, 7%
The lineup spans a wide range of styles, from hop-forward beers with Belgian character to a crisp Italian pilsner, a classic bitter, and a Belgian stout. That makes the board easy to approach whether you want to start light and finish dark, or focus on hop aroma and yeast expression throughout the session.
Pineapple Gose stands out as the most fruit-driven option in the list, while Rolling Lolly at 7.5% offers a stronger American IPA profile. Komagome Best Bitter looks like the most food-friendly choice, with a lower ABV and a more restrained profile. The variety suggests that Hinomoto is using its taps to show different sides of its house brewing.
The venue keeps the concept beer-first. Food is limited to simple snacks such as Kaki-Pi and dagashi-style sweets, so the focus stays on the beer itself. The post also mentions service by Sekiguchi, the former caregiver, which adds a personal, low-key feel to the room.
A potato-chip hot dog pop-up is scheduled for Saturday, and a Komagome local-history talk is planned for August 18. With more events and off-site appearances also announced, this update is not just about what is pouring now, but also about how the brewpub is building its own rhythm in Honkomagome.
