In the Shibuya district of Tokyo, a gem of a beer bar, Good Beer Faucets - featuring some 40 taps (many local Japanese micros including Baird and Minoh, European and American craft) great food and a fun location. Look for it shining on the second floor just across the road from the Bunkamura Performing Arts Center in Shibuya.

Every day sees new options on tap - at the moment, we're enjoying a Moylan's Barrel Aged Wet Hopsickle, thousands of miles from home. It's redolent of grapefruit, zesty and terrific.

You can order by the pint or half-pint to keep your intake (and bill) down, and they have an expansive food menu with both western & eastern items, free wifi - in short, we love it here!
