TOKYO | Izakaya Beer Boy is a specialty craft beer spot from the folks behind popular Tokyo craft beer bar chain Craft Beer Market. The focus at Izakaya Beer Boy is on “rare and extreme” craft beers from Japan and around the world.
We visited the Kichijoji branch, the first Izakaya Beer Boy. There’s a second branch in Nakameguro, and more planned for the future. The small, bright, and colourful venue has nine beers on tap, and several more in the fridge.
When we first visited there was, amongst other things, the 2106 Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien Grand Cru from Brasserie de Franches-Montagnes in Saignelégier, Switzerland, and the Mexi Trip with Strawberries from Burly Oak in Berlin, Maryland USA. Two fantastic, highly regarded beers that definitely tick the rare and extreme boxes. Beers rotate often and there are frequent tap takeovers and events. For non-beer drinkers, there’s a few wines and shochu cocktails.
The food is a mixture of typical izakaya fare like yakitori – grilled chicken breast, thigh, heart, liver etc, and other beer-friendly food like a German inspired Spaetzle salad and lamb kebabs served like tsukune (grilled chicken meatballs), with raw egg for dipping.
