Ikebukuro's "P-144×Citra Bar" updates taps on March 18, eight beers on tap including U.S. brews
P-144×Citra Bar, a beer pub in Ikebukuro and Higashi-Ikebukuro, has announced its craft beer lineup for Wednesday, March 18. Eight beers centered on American breweries will be on tap, and a collaboration project with importer Nagano Trading will also begin the same day. The second-floor seating is scheduled to be reserved during dinner hours, so it is recommended to check before visiting.
Hop BroAt Ikebukuro's "P-144×Citra Bar," today's headline is the March 18 tap update! Eight beers on tap, including U.S. brews, so they're really going all in.
MugiWhoa! That sounds intense right away! What kind of beers are in that eight-beer lineup?
Hop BroIt's a wide spread, from pilsner to double hazy, so the best part is that you can pick everything from a light pint to a rich, heavy-hitting one. They've got Pils (Sierra Nevada), Code Breaker (Trademark), and Double Hazy (BrewDog) in the mix too.
MugiWhat! Just hearing double hazy makes me feel like I'm in the fog!
Hop BroHazy means a cloudy, juicy style, and double means more alcohol and body. In other words, it's a dense, hop-loaded IPA.
MugiOhhh! Then what about session IPA? Just the name makes it sound like a sports club practice schedule!
Hop BroThat's an IPA with lower ABV that's easy to keep drinking. And this time, the Nagano Trading collaboration kicks off, so the American side of things is likely to get even stronger.
MugiSo much event energy! But are the seats okay? Seeing the second floor reserved has me a little worried!
Hop BroThe second floor will be reserved during dinner, but the first-floor counter is scheduled to be open. There's also a DJ, so it's going to be a night of music and beer.
MugiThere's also a Kids-Artist exhibit on B1 through 3F, right? Art and craft beer feels very Ikebukuro, I love it!
Hop BroThat's the plan: start by warming up with a pils, then finish with a double hazy! Tonight's going to be a full tasting course!
At P-144×Citra Bar in Tokyo's Higashi-Ikebukuro, the tap list for Wednesday, March 18 features eight craft beers.
The lineup for the day includes overseas breweries such as Sierra Nevada, Trademark Brewing, and BrewDog. Styles range widely from pilsner, pale ale, bitter, stout, session IPA, hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, to double hazy, making it easy to choose anything from a light pint to a hop-forward one.
In addition, the shop is launching a collaboration project with Nagano Trading starting that day. The lineup is likely to lean even further toward American craft beer. As for operations inside the venue, the second-floor seats will be reserved during dinner hours, while the first-floor counter will remain open to the public. Because a DJ event will also be held, the venue says the atmosphere will be a little different from usual.
In addition, a Kids-Artist exhibition related to IKEBUKURO LIVING LOOP is being held across the four floors from B1 to 3F through the end of March. It looks like a day to enjoy not only beer, but also a stop that feels quintessentially Ikebukuro, where art and music intersect.
