With a Sunday afternoon in entrance of me with the one plan being going to a document store in Koenji, I made a decision to lastly tick off some Chuo line locations that had been on my backlog listing for a very long time. Maybe widespread sense would have dictated that I’m going to 1 station and tick off in all places close to there. Nevertheless, I believed it could be extra enjoyable if I went to 4 locations at 4 completely different stations. So in all probability I nonetheless have one other Chuo line new locations pub crawl that I have to do. OGA Brewing is a brewpub (I believe, however I couldn’t see any proof of the brewery) and positively a brewery cafe about quarter-hour stroll from Mitaka station. I’d solely beforehand drunk OGA at a soccer match the place I attempted their inexperienced kale beer made for Tokyo Verdy. I’m not an enormous fan of kale so I believed it was solely truthful that I visited their pub earlier than I made any judgements. So, right here’s what you’ll want to know:
- Slim sort of cafe with an extended counter alongside one facet and a few tables on the opposite. Didn’t have that wooden and bar concrete decor you’d count on and moderately as a substitute appeared extra like what you’d think about a traditional cafe to seem like. Plenty of Tokyo Verdy memorabilia on present close to the entrance door.
- Beers served in two sizes, common and small. Didn’t see the common dimension however I’d say that the small was round 250ml. Common beers ranged from ¥850-¥900 and small beers from ¥500-¥650. That they had eight faucets however solely seven beers have been on. All of them have been their very own creations, naturally. Let’s be trustworthy, in the event you’re going to a brewery cafe, you’re in all probability going there to drink the brewery’s beers, aren’t you? For the time being in addition they have a pour your personal beer choice too if that’s your factor. Additionally they promote their very own beers in bottles to takeaway.
- Order on the counter and pay as you go. No cowl cost they usually have daytime opening every single day that they’re open (they’re closed on Tuesday, in response to google). There appeared to be WiFi, however I didn’t strive to connect with it. I used to be solely making a quick cease as I used to be ON A MISSION.
Firstly, I ought to apologise to OGA, as after I arrived there have been a number of folks there however I appeared to clear everybody out throughout my quick go to. This didn’t occur somewhere else I went to, so maybe it was a coincidence. If you wish to drink OGA beers, that is the place to go, I assume. It’s a little bit of a trek from the station although, so be ready for that. And I believe that hip drinkers may not discover the place to their style. It appeared to me although that they’ve an area fanbase they usually in all probability aren’t essentially focused on attracting skinny denims carrying, bearded, Hazy Double IPA drinkers with topknots. They appear to have loads of good critiques on-line for the cafe and their beers and it was a pleasant place to go to however to be trustworthy, the beers weren’t actually for me.
