Beers from Hokkaido

 I was given these two beers made by Brasserie recently. The regular IPA was very drinkable. I haven't tried the Double IPA yet!

Two more new beers

 There are two more limited beers out right now. The first is Suntory Premium Malts' Amber Ale. Sigh... Another one time only beer! And the other is the annual Kirin Aki Aji. I haven't tried the latter yet!

New beer

 From 7-11, Amber lager made by Sapporo Beer. It's not as sweet as Yebisu Kohaku but still not to my taste!

Spanish beer?

 I was given this bottle of spanish made german style beer the other day. It contains rice and corn starch so I'm not expecting too much from it!

 


 

Okinawa fair at Tobu Ikebukuro

 I was gasping for a beer yesterday afternoon but it was bucketing down due to a typhoon so I couldn't go for my usual pint in the park cafe. I was wandering around Tobu department store and found they were running an Okinawa food and crafts fair! Plenty of seats and standing tables so...

New Orion Beer

 Something new at my local My Basket! Orion Kolsch! Not terrible either!

 



Yokosuka Brewing

 I went to Yokosuka again but this time visited Yokosuka Brewing. The beers aren't bad and their regular beers are reasonably priced at 748 yen inc tax for a US pint! I had their Dobuita Happy pale ale and the more expensive limited Sarushima Beer session IPA.





Yorocco Beer

 I finally made it to the new Yorocco Beer Pub in Kamakura recently. It's a nice little place but lacking atmosphere. I had a large Helles, which I think was 1,200 yen and a small Vienna lager for 900 yen.

Tins of beer

 A few tins I bought recently. The Hen was disappointing, the Asahi was Asahi and the Sapporo was quite drinkable!






Something else I was given

 I think I've tried this maker before and it wasn't that good. I will try this soon!




New beer

 This is a new beer at My Basket store. I haven't tried it yet. Maybe this evening!




Yossy's Fish and Chips

 I had reason to visit this place in Mitaka on Tuesday. They only have Kirin Guinness, Heineken and Ohara's on tap. The O'hara's was OK but not up to craft beer standard. They also have a couple of Ohara's bottles.

Something I was given

 I was given this bottle of W-IPA some time ago but didn't get around to trying it until recently. I was pleasantly surprised. It was quite good!




Thursday 13 July 2023

Something really bad!

 This was truly disgusting! Words fail me! I'm glad I didn't spend my own money on it!




Wednesday 12 July 2023

Berg, again!

 Yes, I went to Berg again yesterday and had their anniversary special and Matsumoto Scotch Ale!







Something new, again!

 I tried this yesterday but I can't remember if I liked it so I'll have to try it again!

Kameido Beer, again

 I paid them another visit on Sunday and as always the beer was excellent! Session IPA!




Tuesday 4 July 2023

Yokosuka

 The next morning I took the bus to Yokosuka for lunch and had a burger and Carlsberg at Yokosuka Perry Diner!

 



 

More craft beer

After  that I took the bus up to the Fire Boat Taproom. and had their pale ale and DDH IPA.





Hayama trip

 I went on an overnight trip down to Ishiki Beach in Hayama on Sunday. I got the Keikyu two day bus pass at Yokohama, which includes a return train ticket to Zushi Hayama. My first port of call was Beach Muffin for lunch. I had their veggie burger and the first three beers on the menu.

Berg Shinjuku

Back in Berg again this week. Edel Pils large and a pint of Minoh Stout!

 

Kamakura

 It wasn't too hot yesterday so I went down to Kamakura. Of course, I had a couple of beers! Starting with Shonan Beer golden ale and a couple of sausages, then Shonan IPA, Kamakura Beer IPA and a bottle of Shonan!

New limited beer

 Some new type of Kirin Ichiban. Ichiban is usually too sweet for me!




Berg Shinjuku

 I always enjoy going to Berg for an afternoon Edel Pils, Ebisu Black and pork aspic!
