Takao Brewing have just lately opened a brand new taproom that may be a bit simpler to get to than their earlier location. I’ve lengthy been excited about visiting them as you don’t actually see their beers round a lot, (not less than not the place I’m wanting, I suppose). So the truth that their new place may be very near Takao station meant that I had now not had an excuse to not go. Right here’s what that you must know:
- The taproom is on the second ground above a Mos Burger, (therefore the dangerous photographs on this publish), and shares an area with a espresso store. You order out of your most well-liked outlet after which sit within the seating space that’s between the 2 counters. Numerous seating with numerous charging factors. In addition they had a pleasant little counter exterior on the balcony close to the doorway the place you possibly can sit and watch the Keio line trains go by or the bus station if that’s extra your type of factor. The brewery is behind the house and you may see it by means of the home windows. Because it’s a brand new place the decor is clear and trendy as you’d anticipate.
- 5 faucets of their very own beer and one visitor faucet. Two of them have been IPAs, two have been saisons and one was a fruit beer. Unsurprisingly, my favorite one was one of many saisons. In addition they have a fridge with some bottles, a few of that are their common beers, some huge bottles of very attention-grabbing sounding specials of theirs and the remainder properly chosen Belgian 750ml stuff. Beers on faucet served in two sizes, which have been a bit of troublesome to evaluate. I believe I heard the bigger being described as 330ml. My preliminary guess was 350ml so properly carried out me (until I misheard). The smaller one might be about 200ml I believe. Costs ranged from ¥900-¥980 for the bigger one and ¥600-¥660 for the smaller. The visitor was ¥1000 for 150ml however because it was an aged Logsdon bitter it was properly price it.
- No cowl cost, daytime opening. I forgot to test for WiFi however I might astounded in the event that they didn’t have it. It felt just like the type of place that undoubtedly would. They serve some meals as properly. We had the focaccia fashion pizza slices they usually have been good. As you would possibly anticipate from the placement, it doesn’t keep open very late, (I suppose hikers go dwelling early), so I might test the hours fastidiously earlier than visiting.
All in all, this was a fairly good place. It was a really gratifying first cease on a day of visiting some bars and I’d like to return to sort out a few of these huge bottles. I suppose it’s unlikely you’ll be simply passing by given the placement, but it surely’s undoubtedly a great spot to start out a pleasant day of pub crawling. Get the lengthy prepare journey out of the best way first to go right here after which on the best way again, hop on and off and pop in to some locations. Beautiful!
