Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa posts July 10 tap list with domestic and imported beers
Beerbar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa has published its July 10 tap list. The lineup features five domestic beers, the regular Heartland, and five imports, plus a new chilled water dumpling dish for the heat. Friday service runs until 4:00, making it an easy late-night stop.
Hop BroBeer Bar Festa in Shimokitazawa just dropped its July 10 tap list. Five domestic beers, regular Heartland, and five imports make this a seriously loaded lineup.
MugiWait, an 11-tap night? Put that near the station and my after-work detour instinct is fully activated!
Hop BroOn the domestic side, Nomcraft's Dinosaur Zoo really stands out. It's a Double IPA, so the hop aroma and bitterness are both turned way up, and the name fits the chaos perfectly.
MugiWhat does Double IPA even double? There aren't literally two dinosaurs in the glass, right?
Hop BroNot the amount, the intensity. More malt, more hops, usually more alcohol too. Basically it's flavor on max.
MugiWhoa, then Setouchi's Apricot Weizen already sounds like summer vacation in a pint. I want it on name alone!
Hop BroExactly. Since it's a weizen with wheat, it should feel soft and smooth, and the yeast can throw off ester aromas too, like bright banana-like notes.
MugiHold on, ester aromas sounds like chemistry class. If you mean fruity smells, then yes, I am back with you!
Hop BroThat's it. Then you've got T.Y. Harbor's Kanpai West Coast Pilsner, Nomcraft's No War, and DDC!'s Petit Moral and Rose de Hibiscus, while Cocorfarm & Winery Shiro, Fog, Folsom Haze, and Milk Stout are already running low.
MugiWhat, the running-low pours are already making me panic. If it goes from hazy IPA to stout to hibiscus wheat, that's a full tasting party in one stop!
Hop BroAnd the sneaky killer move is the cold boiled dumplings for hot weather. Doors open at 6 p.m., and on Friday they go until 4 a.m., which is dangerously convenient.
MugiThen it's settled. I want my first glass at Festa and I fully intend to argue with myself over Heartland or Dinosaur Zoo!
Beerbar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa, on the fifth floor of a building near Shimokitazawa Station, has posted its July 10 tap list. The bar opens at 18:00, and on Fridays it stays open until 4:00, so it is set up for a long night of tasting. The post also notes a new chilled water dumpling dish with mala sauce, added for the summer heat.
On tap
- NOMCRAFT "Dinosaur Zoo"
- SETOUCHI "Apricot Weizen"
- NOMCRAFT "No War"
- T.Y. Harbor "Kanpai West Coast Pilsner"
- Hansharo Beer "Coco Farm & Winery White" (low stock)
- Heartland
The domestic side ranges from the double IPA "Dinosaur Zoo" to the fruit-forward "Apricot Weizen" and the crisp West Coast-style pilsner "Kanpai West Coast Pilsner." Heartland fills the regular slot, giving drinkers a familiar anchor alongside the rotating taps.
The imported lineup includes Burnt Mill "Fog", Knee Deep "Folsom Haze", Left Hand "Milk Stout", and DDC! (Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!) "Petite Morale" and "Rosée d’Hibiscus." That mix covers hazy IPA, stout, and a hibiscus wheat beer, so the list moves cleanly from bright and juicy to dark and creamy.
Several beers, including "Coco Farm & Winery White", "Fog", "Folsom Haze", and "Milk Stout", are already down to the last pours. If you want a specific beer, an early visit looks like the safer move.
