There’s a craft beer bar in Mukogaoka-Yuen called Monkey Wrench, and it has its own brewing equipment. That’s Over Rev Brewing.

What? A beer bar started making its own beer?
Hop Bro
Exactly. It used to be a beer bar in front of Mukogaoka-Yuen Station, but it relocated specifically to secure brewing space. They started brewing in 2024.
Mugi
Wow, they moved just so they could brew their own beer. What kind of beers do they have?
Hop Bro
They have a house-brewed beer called "Secret Summer Ale." They also usually have around 12 taps available, including guest beers, and they stock craft beers from Kawasaki and Hokkaido too.
Mugi
Twelve kinds! That sounds hard to choose from!
Hop Bro
The owner is from Hokkaido, and people say the service is really warm. It has a very homey atmosphere, so even if you go alone, it feels natural to end up chatting with other customers.
Mugi
I like that it’s easy to go alone! Beer bars can feel a little hard to walk into sometimes.
Hop Bro
It’s in a residential area about a 6-minute walk from Mukogaoka-Yuen Station, but it has this garage-like vibe, and being able to drink freshly brewed beer at the counter is great. Since it’s a brewery that grew out of a beer bar, it feels like they make beer from the drinker’s perspective.
Mugi
A brewer that thinks from the drinker’s perspective sounds amazing! There’s also Ikuta Greenery nearby, so I’d love to stop by while taking a walk!
