Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa has released its tap list for March 26.

Hop BroToday’s topic is the March 26 tap list at Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa. With six domestic beers, six overseas beers, and even Heartland in the mix, it’s a pretty ambitious lineup.
MugiWait, six domestic plus six overseas? Isn’t that too many!? If there are that many on tap, I might collapse from joyful indecision before I even choose!
Hop BroAnd it’s only two minutes from Shimokitazawa Station, on the fifth floor. The nice thing is that you can drop in for just one drink at the counter or settle in at a table.
MugiSo a quick drink is okay too! But if it’s on the fifth floor, my legs might turn into foam before I even get there...
Hop BroThe domestic beers include Komorebi no Pale Ale, Sansho White Ale, and even Sanriku Oyster Stout. The range is huge, from pale ale to oyster and sansho.
MugiWait, oyster stout!? Sea vibes in beer!? Is that the kind that makes you hear the ocean breeze before you drink it?
Hop BroPretty close. Stout is centered on the roasty character of roasted malt, and when oyster umami layers on top of that, the body feels even deeper. The sansho white ale is appealing because the spicy aroma rises softly.
MugiOhh! Then I’m curious about the overseas hazy IPA too! Just from the name it sounds murky, juicy, and dangerously aromatic!
Hop BroThe overseas selection includes Hefeweizen, Range West IPA, Tangerine Hazy IPA, and Monk's Indiscretion. With wheat beers, IPAs, hazies, and dark styles lined up, it’s easy to set up a tasting comparison.
MugiAnd there’s a Shimokitazawa darts exchange match that day! But if darts are suspended from around 8 to 10:30 p.m., isn’t that actually a night where you can focus entirely on beer?
Hop BroExactly, it’s a night where beer takes center stage. They also have house-made sausages and beer-braised beef tendon, so I’d say tonight is definitely one for a drink in Shimokitazawa, or maybe two.
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa: 13 beers total, domestic and overseas, on 3/26
Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa has announced its tap list for March 26. Located on the fifth floor, two minutes on foot from the Central Exit of Shimokitazawa Station, the beer pub is introduced on its official website as a shop with 12 craft beer taps and two Dartslive machines. Its appeal is that you can stop by for just one drink at the counter or sit down at a table and take your time.
The lineup for the day features six domestic beers, six overseas beers, and the regular beer Heartland. The domestic selection includes Forest's "Komorebi no Pale Ale," Hansharo Beer's "Golden Cannon," Repubrew's "Black Mist of Bumburg," Matsue Beer Hearn's "Sansho White Ale," Iwate Kura's "Sanriku Oyster Stout," and Rio Brewing Co.'s "Tipsy." From a light pale ale to an oyster stout and a white ale accented with sansho pepper, it is a lineup with a wide range of flavors.
The overseas beers include Silver City's "Hefeweizen" and "Range West IPA," Thornbridge's "Double Green Mountain," Lucky End Rope's "Tangerine Hazy IPA," Puyallup's "Cozy Night," and Echo's "Monk's Indiscretion." With wheat beers, IPAs, hazies, and dark styles all represented, it should be easy to build a tasting comparison.
The shop is also scheduled to host the Shimokitazawa darts exchange match that day, so darts use will be suspended until around 8:00 to 10:30 p.m., while table seating and some counter seats will remain open for normal business. It may actually be a good night to relax and make beer the main event. The house-made sausages and the beer-braised beef tendon also make it easy to enjoy the food alongside the beers, which is very Festa-like.
