Hop BroToday, Tokyo's Honkomagome-based Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand is the place to be. They've released their operating hours for Tuesday, April 7, from 17:00 to 23:00, along with a 10-tap lineup.
MugiWhoa, 10 different beers? I'd walk in and immediately freeze up trying to decide what to drink!
Hop BroFirst up is Kohatu Pale Ale, where NZ hops take center stage. It has a clean aromatic lift, and even though it's a pale ale, it really stands out.
MugiWhat even are NZ hops! Hop bro, if you suddenly say New Zealand business, all I can picture is a wind from the Southern Hemisphere!
Hop BroIn short, it means hops from New Zealand tend to bring out tropical aromas. It's interesting to aim for both aroma and crispness, like in `Kohatu Pale Ale` and `Sauvin Belgo Brut`.
MugiOhhh! So `Sauvin Belgo Brut` and `Ryusui Soso` are more about a crisp, clean finish. Even the names feel stylish, and I'm already getting tipsy just reading them!
Hop BroExactly. And since `Yuzu Sour Saison` is on the list too, you can switch gears with citrusy acidity. Sour saisons work well before a meal, and they fit a place with relatively little food service too.
MugiWait, so with not much food, that means beer is the star? Then I can compare them without hesitation, and honestly I want to sit up straight and face them properly!
Hop BroThe middle-of-the-lineup beers, `Black IPA a.k.a. Black Sheep Ale` and `Belgian Hazy IPA a.k.a. White Sheep Ale`, are also notable because they're collaborations with Sanriku Beer. When you can see the brewer behind the beer, the tap list gains a story of its own.
MugiBlack sheep and white sheep already win on the names! And if there are also `Komagome Brown` and `Kurotobi #4`, then today's lineup looks like it might teach us the depths of humanity through dark beers!
Hop BroWhat I like is that they finish with `Komagome Best Bitter` too. You can follow the range from lighter beers to dark ones, and with the taproom POP-UP on 4/11(Sat) catching my eye too, this really makes me want a pint right now.
MugiYeah, I can't take it anymore, I want to go tonight! Start with the pale ale, then the sheep beers, and finish with the stout. Please let those 10 taps wash away our reason!
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, announced its operating hours for Tuesday, April 7, from 17:00 to 23:00, along with today's on-tap selection. As a brewpub closed on Wednesdays, it offers a lineup centered on Japanese craft beer inside the taproom. The caption also suggests that there is relatively little permanent food service, making it clear that this is a place to stop by with beer as the main draw.
The tap list for the day includes 10 beers. First to catch the eye are `Kohatu Pale Ale` (NZ Pale Ale, 5.5%), `Sauvin Belgo Brut` (Dry Hopped Saison, 7%), and `Ryusui Soso` (Italian Pilsner, 5.5%), a set designed to balance aroma and crispness while showcasing the character of New Zealand hops. `Yuzu Sour Saison` (6%) is also on the list, making it a good choice for those who want to enjoy citrus notes.
In the middle of the lineup are `DH Red Ale` (running low, 5.5%), `Black IPA a.k.a. Black Sheep Ale` (7%), and `Belgian Hazy IPA a.k.a. White Sheep Ale` (6.5%). The latter two are introduced as collaborations with Sanriku Beer, reflecting the brewery's tap management style, where the faces behind the brewing are clearly visible. The connection between the names and styles is also straightforward, making the lineup easy for drinkers to choose from.
To finish, `Komagome Brown` (Brown Saison, 6%), `Komagome Best Bitter` (English Best Bitter, 4.5%), and `Kurotobi #4` (Belgian Stout, 7%) round things out, giving the list range from lighter beers to dark ones. Including beers named after the local area naturally adds to the shop's neighborhood feel.
The caption also mentions a taproom POP-UP on Saturday, April 11. In the first half of April, Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand looks like a good place to catch both its regular beers and collaboration releases in one go.
