And Beer in Koenji serves 'Akubi to Hirusagari' and 'Back Home' on July 5
Koenji brewpub And Beer shared its July 5 lineup: all-day service from 11:30 to 21:00, biryani and curry on the food side, plus two featured drinks, 'Akubi to Hirusagari' from Akubi ICECREAM&CRAFTBEER and 'Back Home.'
Hop BroToday’s big topic is And Beer in Koenji. Their July 5 lineup is built for an all-day session with craft drinks and biryani from lunch through night.
MugiWait, all-day service means I can start at lunch and somehow call a sunset pint “part of the plan”?
Hop BroExactly, and the headline is two guest pours: “Akubi to Hirusagari” from Akubi ICECREAM&CRAFTBEER in Katsushika, plus “Back Home,” recipe number two from brewer Andy.
Mugi“Akubi to Hirusagari” already sounds sleepy and adorable... but hard seltzer style means it’s not actually beer?
Hop BroRight, and hard seltzer basically means a lighter alcoholic base where fruit and spice aromas lead instead of a heavy malt body. This one balances plum and spice.
MugiOhh, plum and spice sounds perfect for a lazy summer afternoon. One sip and I’m probably naming clouds.
Hop BroThen “Back Home” brings big malt character, with piney and citrusy hop aroma layered on top, and it really sounds like a pint beer.
MugiHold on, pine-resin aroma? Why did your drink description suddenly wander into a forest?
Hop BroThat just means forest-like hop notes. Crisp, resinous aroma plus citrus gives it depth without making it too heavy.
MugiAnd they’re serving biryani and curry with that? That’s dangerously convincing. The shrimp with shiso and the oyster curry both sound unfairly good.
Hop BroAlso, takeout runs 10 to 21, they support Uber Eats, and the terrace even allows dogs and cats, so the whole setup is made for a slow Koenji beer day.
MugiThen it’s settled: a pint and biryani. I want to cool off with “Akubi to Hirusagari” first, then finish strong with “Back Home.”
And Beer, a brewpub in Koenji, Suginami, posted its July 5 Sunday service details. The shop is open continuously from 11:30 to 21:00, with lunch from 11:30 to 15:00 and dinner from 17:00 to 21:00. Beer takeaway is available from 10:00 to 21:00.
The beer recommendations for the day are:
- Akubi to Hirusagari
A 2nd-anniversary release from the ice cream shop and craft beer spot Akubi ICECREAM&CRAFTBEER in Katsushika. It is a hard seltzer rather than beer, and the post notes a balanced aroma of plum and spices.
- Back Home
Recipe No. 2 from brewer Andy on the And Beer team. It is described as a pint-friendly beer with a strong malt backbone and hop notes reminiscent of pine resin and citrus.
Food includes shrimp and shiso biryani, chicken-wing biryani, Kerala chicken, oyster clam chowder curry, and Gujo miso keema, matching the brewpub's spice-forward style. The terrace welcomes dogs and cats, and the shop also supports takeaway and Uber Eats. It is a practical stop for anyone who wants to pair a meal with craft beer in Koenji.
