Yeah, Hamilton just told me that there will be some events in Kyoto and Osaka but nothing in Tokyo. I will ask around where else we can host this.

Looks like we might be able to do something at Watering Hole.

OMG. I think this is the biggest tap takeover in Japanese craft beer bar history starting this Friday at CraftHeads. This is an insane list. They have 91 beers listed in the database so this is a good chunk of all the beers they ever made, and certainly the majority of the very interesting beers.

I know the 500 is long gone from bottles or kegs, but that is one of the beers they should remake, IMO.

Lots of question marks about why Japanese characters don’t show up on RB.

Full list is here http://slowbrewing.blog104.fc2.com/blog-entry-3528.html

Last one is a Junmai Daiginjo Namagenshu (though a bit surprised its only 16%), so I guess they are doing draft sake as well.

Thinking about Beer Ma, do you think we should put the old shop as closed? The physical location isn’t there anymore, but the web address for the shop is still good. Perhaps it makes sense to add the web address to the Beer Ma listing and change World Beer Market to out of business. What do people think?

Wow this is a boring thread. Gotta add something related to the fun stuff in Kansai this week.
Mikkeller Pop-up at Before 9 Dec. 28-30.
Overlaps on the 29th with the KBC tap takeover at Takumiya. ¥800 per pint, 10 beers plus more if they go off.
Dig Beer Bar will close. Their last day is Dec 30 for a big party of sorts. Not really sure what’s in store.

I’m chilling at Kamikaze for the first time and their list is kinda disappointing since a lot of the more appealing stuff is out. I did have a good Gose from Ushi-Tora, #134 it says w Yuzu so I’m not sure if this is a new entry and sadly I don’t read much Kanji so I can’t get the name without asking and feeling weird.

They also have Yo-Ho B22 which looks like a new add but again I don’t really know the details and would rather someone with some Japanese ability put it in.
