BEERDOCK

The BEERDOCK in Inadazutsumi has an interesting backstory. It used to be a home-brew pub called "Inadazutsumi Beer Brewery," nicknamed Inabaku.

Exactly. Inabaku closed in March 2025, and on April 29 of the same year a new owner took over and relaunched it as BEERDOCK with a full renovation. During the previous brewery era, they made beer using Tamagawa pears as a secondary ingredient.

Kawasaki is actually a pear-producing area, and by using off-grade pears that could not be sold, they were also helping reduce food loss. Their collaboration with local farmers worked really well. They brewed on a wheat-malt base, kept the hops restrained, and let the pear flavor come through.

There are usually 7 to 8 taps on at all times, including collaboration beers with Grandline Brewing in Yokosuka and Isana Brewing in Akishima. It's all standing room, and the wood-toned counter gives it a great atmosphere. Bringing your own food is also allowed, which is rare.

Exactly. There's no cover charge, so you can just stop by for one beer. It's about a 7-minute walk from JR Inadazutsumi Station. On weekends, they open at 2 p.m., so it's perfect for daytime drinking.
