There are times during drinking, where I question whether my friends like me, or want to see me suffer.

September may have been drowned in rain and typhoons, but I’ve been busy behind the scenes. New bar reviews, brewery profiles, rewrites, beer reviews, updated guides and plenty of work on the BeerTengoku map are all in the pipeline. www.patreon.com/beertengoku/...

A small mid-month update on things - mainly because I've had some enforced down time due to a bacterial infection. www.patreon.com/beertengoku/...

Kansai is done! It took a long time - not as long as Kanto - but there were a large number of places to go through. Each one is checked on their socials and also on Google Maps to make sure: 1) They are open 2) They sell craft beer 3) Craft beer is either in pints (bar) or in bottles / cans (shop)

Stop #4 - came for the beer, then saw the biryani... Perhaps some of the best.

Some cherry blossoms along the Kanogawa - a river that runs through the middle of Izu. One of the most underrated #cycling routes in Japan.

I know I don't use this enough, but a pint of dark sky at the source warrants a post right?

After a few good days of drinking and travelling, today was going to be a chilled day. I still managed to wake up at some stupid early time in the morning, even though my alarms had been turned off. www.patreon.com/posts/shikok...

Seems like ages ago I've had a beer delivery.. Picking a brewery in Japan though is like picking your favourite child. Nomcraft are up there, with some others coming later. Can't wait to cycle down there later this year. beertengoku.com/2020/06/19/n...

So sometimes I do silly things. Like cycling 30 km to pick up some beers from Mine Mart. Sometimes I do stupid things. Like cycling 120 km down through Izu to get to Baird Brewery Shuzenji for my birthday. Then I plan something like this. www.patreon.com/posts/138239...?

Train drinks in the UK. All this for about ¥2,500...

Popped into Floc. Brewing in Canterbury - only to find out that they're now available in Japan thanks to Inn Beers. #craftbeer #tokyo

As much as I love drinking beer, and I love it, I also set myself a goal on NY Day to get 1000 km of running under my belt. Well I beat that goal 4.5 months quicker than expected. In spite of negativity early on in the year, I removed it from my life and got through. How much more is in the tank?

BeerTengoku @beertengoku.com · 06/07/2025

Had two beers from Our Brewing last night - the Bomb!! and Dino Kid. Two fantastic effort - Fukui really has been put on the craft beer map in Japan.

Stop #2 : the new craft rock taproom and sauna in Takao. I'm lucky that I get invited to these events. I don't accept all brewery invites and the stuff, but when you've got a sauna, I'm sold. Takao mountain house and here are a dangerous combo.

Stop #2 : Craft rock Taproom. Got invited to a pre-opening party but another great choice in Takao.

Stop #1 at TMH Coffee & Craft Beer. You'll need a bank loan to drink and eat here. Still, stunning scenery and deck.

Stop #2 This place is brilliant. I'm going back here next week.

Couple of lunch time beers out at Buso Brewery in Machida. Definitely a work in progress, but some solid beers on tap. If they can just tweak them with some QC then Machida could have a decent local brewery.

Bar #4 - of course when you're in Tachikawa, you've got to come here.

Been a while since I've had some Vertere. With 800+ breweries in Japan now, it's tough to drinks everything available. Both very good beers, and would happily drink them again.

Managed to pick all this up for ¥4000. Bargain and that's a good weekend ahead. Some decent beers among this bunch from West Coast Brewing and Vertere

For less than 1,000 yen, picked up three craft beers from Seiyu. Nice surprise here.

I sometimes get asked do I drink macro? Of course. At ¥300 a can, this stuff is a solid tipple with flavour and consistency.

BeerTengoku @beertengoku.com · 25/05/2025

Don't worry. This isn't Abashiri Blue but Tokaido Beer Cold IPA.
