Hop BroAt vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR by Ikebukuro East Exit, Minoh Beer’s seasonal Peach Weizen Wasei ver. just got tapped.
MugiWhat! A peach weizen sounds more like dessert than beer!
Hop BroThat’s exactly the charm. You get clove-and-banana notes from the weizen yeast, then juicy peach layered right on top.
MugiWait, what even is weizen yeast? That sounds like a spell from a boss battle!
Hop BroSimple version: it’s yeast for wheat beer. During fermentation it throws banana-like aromas and gives the beer a soft mouthfeel.
MugiNo way! So adding peach makes it like a peach sandwich in a glass for your nose!?
Hop BroPretty much. It’s light and fruity, easy to reach for in lingering heat, and it really pops in a 20-tap lineup.
MugiTwenty taps!? With IPA, stout, lager, and then peach too, that’s limited meets classic on one menu and my brain is freezing!
Hop BroAnd this year they’re planning four peach versions: Wasei, Hakuto, Shimizu Hakuto, and Kawanakajima Hakuto.
MugiWhat is that! A peach-by-peach tasting sounds way too strong as a seasonal event!
Hop BroThey’ve got food from rillette to hamburger steak too, so that basement near East Exit feels made for settling in with a glass. Now I want one.
MugiThat settles it! I’m fully ready for a cheers with Peach Weizen tonight!
Fresh tap
At vivo! BEER+DININGBAR, a basement beer pub tucked under Ikebukuro East Exit, Minoh Beer’s seasonal "Peach Weizen Early Harvest Ver." is now on tap. The bar opens at 16:00 on Wednesdays, and the release arrived on the first business day of September. With 20 draft lines, the venue keeps a broad rotation rather than a single-style focus.
What it tastes like
The brewery describes the beer as combining clove- and banana-like notes from Weizen yeast with juicy peach aromatics. It is a bright, fruit-forward beer with enough yeast character to keep it firmly in the wheat-beer lane. Minoh Beer’s peach series will run through four versions this year, from Early Harvest to Hakuho, Shimizu Hakuto and Kawakami Hakuto.
Other taps
The tap list on the same day also spans collaborations and classic styles: `vivo!×CYCAD BREWING 42 (forty two)`, `Inkhorn Brewing Buncho 2026#3`, `Y Market Brewing Mata Ashita Hazy IPA`, `TOKYO ALEWORKS Ikebukuro Night Owl`, `St. James's Gate Draft Guinness`, and `Kirin Heartland`.
Food options make it easy to stay for another glass, with rillettes, potato salad, a cold omelet, pasta, and a hamburger steak on offer.
