Message TimE P beers 8459 º places 409 º 22:09 Sat 11/12/2016 Just FYI, I am sure there will be lots of dried tear and unshockedness all around, but Le Petite Colliers at Tokyo station, despite it being a rockbed of supporting on quality craft beer, has completely revamped. No more tasting bar and beer bottles, except for the three regular Tama No Megumi beers. It’s broadened its sake and wine selection though. I’ve basically rated it as such. Since the shop isn’t closed we can’t close this, but clearly it no longer deserves to be in the database.
Message shoulderbroken beers 4258 º places 393 º 23:32 Sat 11/12/2016 Wow! All the bottles gone apart from Tama no Megumi?
Message KyotoLefty P beers 15123 º places 1061 º 00:34 Sun 11/13/2016 A shame, for sure, because it was a good presence for Japanese craft. That said, the selection just about never changed, so after buying about 10 new beers the first time I went there, I think I might have bought just another 3 over the past 2 years or more.

Message TimE P beers 8459 º places 409 º 06:48 Sun 11/27/2016 I’ve added Beer Ma, which is the bar connected with World Beer Market (sake no taniguchi), which is now called Beer Ma Base and moved locations (I’ve also updated the address). I am keeping, at least for now, World Beer Market name, as it might be confusing right now to change the name if people aren’t used to it. I’ve also indicated that Beer Ma is connected with sake no taniguchi (though sake no taniguchi doesn’t seem to be used anymore) because it will be easier to search. Again, I can modify in the future, but think this is just the best way at the moment. I also should mention that Beer Ma is probably one of the best beer bars in Tokyo now and should be a must stop for anyone Tim
Message shoulderbroken beers 4258 º places 393 º 07:42 Mon 11/28/2016 That’s weird. I heard that the selection was good, but that it is a bit lacking atmosphere wise. Keep meaning to go there but just don’t have any time at the moment.

Keep meaning to go there but just don’t have any time at the moment. Atmosphere is nothing special, but found customers really talkative and friendly, so that certainly helped out a lot. Not really a place to go to have a quiet one by yourself. Tim
Message KansaiBeerLvrs beers 8499 º places 567 º 09:11 Thu 12/1/2016 I left the Taniguchi in the name as it is in the URL for World Beer Market (on rakuten) but mostly for ease of tagging beers as being available there. World Beer generates lots of hits Taniguchi not so much.

Message beercation beers 2 º places 4 º 17:12 Thu 12/1/2016 So I am arriving on the 24th and leaving January 6th. I will keep you posted where the share will be and the exact date. Hopefully Mikkeller will have a pop up around those days.
Message jonno beers 2750 º places 211 º 20:14 Thu 12/1/2016 Looking forward to it. I will be in Kobe around 23/24th but open most other days until very early Jan. Drank bitches!
Message shoulderbroken beers 4258 º places 393 º 20:22 Thu 12/1/2016 Pretty sure there are no more Mikkeller pop ups before the new bar.
