Hello to all you Beer Hivers!
Wherever I go in the world I just have to sample the beer and preferably the locally crafted stuff. I don't mind paying a little extra for something special. So a while back while we were wandering around the Shinjuku area of Tokyo on our very first trip to Japan we stumbled across, quite by accident, a really cool little craft brewery called Vector Brewery. Now we were lost, we had completely lost our bearings but as Douglas Adams once wrote in his book 'The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul' he said “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” He used to call it zen navigation andt his did indeed prove to be the case.
As we wandered in ,there was an older Japanese guy completely asleep over his rather large glass of beer. Hmmmm I thought thats a good sign haha.
There was quite a selection of not only their own beers but of craft beers from all over Japan hmmm where to begin?
There really was quite nice selection of both draft and bottled beers
And I loved the random selection of tools used as taps on the draft beer selection.
So as I usually do when I am in a craft brewery I go straight for the porters and stouts to begin with. A bite to eat then....
Work through a few more. It's nice to get a real taste of the varied selection of beautiful beers on offer. I mean how often will I be in Shinjuku.
I have to say if you ever find yourself in Shinjuku you must visit this place. Excellent beer, great food and more beer. Then there's the beer of course and please don't forget the beer also. Did I mention the beer? Because if I didn't you really should try it.
Happy Saturday Hivers

Want to have your post on the map too?
It's after 12.00 where you are so I guess a beer post is allowed LOL....

ENGAGEtokens.Funny thing about the Japanese is they just tend to fall asleep anywhere, its really quite comical.
yup. they do love a drink though. We saw this really well dressed old dude completely wasted trying cycle home. It was so funny we followed him for a while
Japan is really one of the most interesting societies to just watch and observe.
it really is. Can't wait to go back
Craft beer is always more interesting than mass produced beer.
yes, more personality . I also find i don't feel as crap the next day also if i over indulge, which happens from time to time ;)
Happy #BeerSaturday! We really enjoyed Japanese beers, so I'd really love to try their craft beers next time when we do visit Japan again.
so good. really cool place
Excellent craft beer scene in Tokyo and the whole of Japan actually, I love that the bars are all small - we had a similiar experience in a brewery called YYG in Yoyogi, just sort of stumbled across it.
agree 100%. Found a couple of cool places in Osaka also. mmmm beeer
Zen navigation! I love it! It's the only way to travel
