And Beer in Koenji Releases April Monthly Schedule, Featuring Ume Weizen and Coffee Ale
The brewpub And Beer in Koenji has released its April business schedule. This month, while serving biryani every day, it also plans to tap collaboration beers such as Ume Boys' Ume Weizen and Coffee Wrights' Coffee Ale.
Hop BroApril at Koenji brewpub And Beer is really interesting. What makes it strong is that they're not just serving beer, they're going all-in on biryani every day too.
MugiWait, biryani every day!? Even though it's a beer spot, my stomach sounds like it's about to open first!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, it's closed on Mondays, open solidly from Tuesday through Sunday, and has take out beer too. As a shop, it really values balancing food and beer.
MugiBalance? So beer isn't the main character? Huh, what do you mean by equal emphasis? That's way cooler than I expected!
Hop BroThat's And Beer's signature: it doesn't lean too hard on the food, and the beer still has a clear presence. This month's first highlight is Ume Weizen.
MugiUme Weizen! That sounds refreshing! But Weizen is the fluffy kind, right? Like the gentle side of wheat?
Hop BroExactly. Weizen uses wheat, so it has a soft mouthfeel and a bright aroma. When you add the plum notes on top, the annual collaboration vibe really comes through.
MugiI see! So next is the coffee one! Coffee Ale sounds like it would wake you right up after drinking it, huh?
Hop BroIt's a collaboration with Coffee Wrights, and it's scheduled to be tapped from 4/22 to 4/25. Ale is top-fermented, and they layer coffee aroma on top of that, so the layers of aroma are the fun part.
MugiLayers? Suddenly it's like a fancy cake! But a beer that's that complex is kind of unfair! I also want to know about the coffee finish!
Hop BroAnd on 4/25 there's Dosa?, on 4/26 there's a jollof rice popup, and on the same day DJ Hossy's Good Music is there too. This is basically a session to drink, eat, and listen to everything all at once.
MugiWhoa, I totally want to go! If we have biryani in one hand and a drink in the other, we might end up living in Koenji forever!
Hop BroRight? April at And Beer is packed with Koenji-like energy. This is the kind of month that makes you want to chase everything in order, from Ume Weizen to Coffee Ale.
