Immediately a quick put up a couple of new place out in West Tokyo in Inagi, which I found as a part of my ongoing and barely pointless problem to have a craft beer in each a part of Tokyo. Final 12 months there was nothing in Inagi when it got here to craft beer aside from Yomiuri Land’s Faucet Marche sales space. Clearly that wasn’t preferrred however I’d settled on it. However then I in some way found that this place was going to open. Inagi should be booming now, as there’s additionally a brand new brewery not removed from this store. (Not brewing their very own beer but although, because the widespread chorus goes. Will test it out when they’re). Anyway, sufficient of this preamble, right here’s what you might want to learn about Hoppee.
- Very small place, below the Nambu line tracks at Inagi Naganuma station. Principally only a row of fridges on the left-hand aspect and a until the place you may pay in your beers. There’s no seating as it is a bottle store, and normally I suppose folks don’t sit down while buying.
- Bottles and cans primarily from breweries within the Tama River space. There are some beers from a little bit additional afield too although, however all of them are home. I’d guess, (and I ought to make it clear that it is a whole guess as I didn’t make any notes), that there have been one thing within the area of 50-60 beers from about 15 completely different breweries. I actually ought to have made some notes… their web site which continues to be a piece in progress it seems to be like they could be establishing a webshop too.
There’s most likely not a lot else to say because the idea is fairly easy. This place appears very a lot a labour of affection and once I visited I may inform that the proprietor was enthusiastic about what he’s doing. He was additionally very pleasant! There’s house within the fridges for extra beers so I suppose once they’re up and working extra they may develop their choice. However there are nonetheless loads of issues to select from and a number of the beers are issues that you just don’t see round that usually. So positively a novel promoting level and I want them effectively with their enterprise! Inagi isn’t someplace I’m going to fairly often, however l will pop again in once more once I go to the brand new Iina Brewing place that Hoppee instructed me about. Cheers!
