Suginami City, Tokyo, Japan｜Koenji Beer Kobo

Tried black IPA and ginger ale on tap. Both were great. Must visit spot for craft beer lovers.

Awesome place! Started coming here couple of weeks ago and I am hooked. It's tucked away in a quiet little neighborhood and if you don't look carefully, you can easily miss it. Their beers are one of the best microbrews or "Craft beer" here in Tokyo. Coming from Portland, OR, the microbrew capital of US, or at least left coast, their beer is decent. Beer Kobo also has decent food, small dishes that go perfectly with their beers. The most important element of this place being a must go is its prices. They charge anywhere from 550 - 690 for 400ml, which is considerably cheaper them other places that charge you the above for half a pint and over 1,000 for a pint. Charging over 1,000 is simply unreasonable for beers, thus making Beer Kebo a gem.

Honestly, the closest you'll get to a true welcoming "local pub" feeling in Tokyo. Possibly a little cheaper than their other branches, depending on the beer. Go for the "cream". Their fish and chips are insanely good for the price too.
