Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand Announces Seven Draft Beers for 5/25
On May 25, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand announced the day’s tap list along with notice of its regular business hours. Seven beers with distinct characters are lined up, including Kveik Pale Ale, West Coast IPA, Hazy IPA, and Belgian Stout.
Hop BroToday, Tokyo’s Komagome spot, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand, is heating up. They’ve put out the tap list for May 25, and seven draft beers are lined up.
MugiWait, seven draft beers? So you can choose that many at once!? That’s the kind of happy problem where you get deliciously lost, right?
Hop BroThe first thing that jumps out is Seiten Raimei #2, a West Coast IPA at 7.5%. It has a sharp hop bitterness and aroma, the kind of beer with a really crisp outline.
MugiWest Coast IPA... what does crisp outline even mean!? You suddenly sound like a pro commentator, and my brain can’t keep up!
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a style where you enjoy the assertiveness of the hops more than sweetness. You often get piney or citrusy aromas, and the finish tends to be clean and sharp.
MugiI see! So something with yuzu like Yunosu Saison is totally different, right? It sounds refreshing, and now I’m curious!
Hop BroExactly. A yuzu sour saison is all about acidity and aroma. The light, lively character of a saison gets a yuzu accent, so it’s super easy to keep drinking on a hot day.
MugiOhhh! And Komagome Best Bitter is 4.5%, right? With a lower ABV, that’s the kind of beer that makes you want to compare a few at a relaxed pace!
Hop BroGood catch. Finishing with Kurotobi #4, the Belgian Stout, is a great move too. It has roasted notes and richness, so it’s perfect as the last drink of the night.
MugiAnd if it opens from 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and is walkable from Komagome Station, you can stop by after work. Sipping one beer at a time at the counter sounds pretty amazing!
Hop BroThey also updated the glass door at the entrance, so the atmosphere of the place is worth checking out too. At this point, there’s nothing to do but go look for today’s drink.
The brewpub Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Tokyo’s Komagome announced its business lineup for May 25. In the post, it said, “Open as usual today,” and also mentioned that the glass door at the entrance had been updated, giving the storefront a slightly different look.
Inside, the space is centered on the counter and standing room, making it easy to focus on the beer. The brewery also makes clear that it serves only domestic craft beer, and the setup is better suited to savoring one drink at a time than to sitting down for a full meal.
The day’s “Today’s on Tap” included the following beers:
- Pee Pee Pee / Kveik Pale Ale (Norwegian Farmhouse Ale) 5.5%
- Seiten Raimei #2 / West Coast IPA 7.5%
- Yunosu Saison / Yuzu Sour Saison 6%
- Komagome Brown / Brown Saison 6%
- Komagome Best Bitter / English Best Bitter 4.5%
- EL BAMP HAZY / Hazy IPA 7%
- Kurotobi #4 / Belgian Stout 7%
The lineup spans a wide range of flavors, from the sharply defined hop character of the West Coast IPA to the yuzu-infused sour saison, the lower-ABV Best Bitter, and the Belgian Stout that seems ideal for finishing the night. Along with the Kveik Pale Ale and Brown Saison, one of the day’s highlights is being able to compare beers with very different personalities on the same tap line.
Hours are weekdays from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; closed on Wednesdays. As a brewpub within walking distance of Komagome Station, it is easy to stop by after work. It was a lineup suited to people who want to quietly work through the taps and choose their drink for the day.
