Hop BroKoenji has a taproom update worth chasing: AND BEER Koenji Taproom started pouring the seasonal "Super Ripe Nanko Ume Weizen" on Wednesday, August 12.
MugiWhat! Super Ripe Nanko Ume Weizen already sounds like summer in a glass, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt uses fully ripe plums from Ume Boys, and the weizen yeast brings ester-driven softness that layers nicely with the rich aroma of ripe ume.
MugiWait, what? Ester-driven softness sounds like class just started. Can I get that in beginner-beer language?
Hop BroBasically, weizen often gives off banana-like aromas, and here that gentle fruity note meets the sweet-tart scent of ripe plum.
MugiOhh! So it has that soft wheat character and still feels easy to drink even in hot weather. That is absolutely a gulpable situation.
Hop BroExactly, and AND BEER is open 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. straight through, with happy hour from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., 50 yen off half pours and 100 yen off pints.
MugiThat is strong. Happy hour discounts too? Add curry and snacks, and my schedule is already walking itself to Koenji.
Hop BroAnd from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. they have solid takeaway options too, with bottles, PET bottles, plastic cups, and even growlers, plus weekday night biryani reservations.
MugiLunch with curry, discounted beer in the afternoon, then a slow plum weizen at night... the whole day works. I want a drink so badly my mouth is already in Koenji.
Hop BroThis limited seasonal pour feels like one to grab before it disappears. Now I want to toast with a Super Ripe Nanko Ume Weizen and a plate of curry.
