Nara Brewing tap list lands at P-144×Citraba in Ikebukuro
P-144×Citraba, the beer pub in east Ikebukuro, has posted a tap list featuring Nara Brewing. The lineup includes PURPLE TOWN, KIP, EIGHTY EIGHT, WATERMELON HEAD, ROSEBUD, MACGUFFIN, and TIMMUR.
Hop BroIkebukuro just got interesting: seven Nara taps are lined up at P-144 × Citra Bar.
MugiWhat! That's basically a treasure chest for beer people! Two minutes from Ikebukuro East Exit is unfairly convenient.
Hop BroAnd the place is a three-floor beer pub with warm wood, soft lighting, counter seats, tables, and even private rooms. Thick fresh pasta and small Italian plates with beer is a strong move.
MugiWhoa, beer and pasta sounds like an instant win. So which Nara Brewing beers are on?
Hop BroThe lineup is stacked. From PURPLE TOWN to TIMMUR, you've got KIP, EIGHTY EIGHT, WATERMELON HEAD, ROSEBUD, and MACGUFFIN too.
MugiNo way, those names sound like a film festival. But seriously, what is wet hop? Did the hops sprint in here dripping?
Hop BroFunny image, wrong process. Fresh-picked hops go straight into the beer, so a hoppy pilsner like KIP gets that vivid green, just-harvested aroma.
MugiOhh, so KIP is the crisp one! But watermelon beer too? Summer is clearly overachieving.
Hop BroWATERMELON HEAD is fun, but first-flush tea aroma makes EIGHTY EIGHT stand out too. PURPLE TOWN layers cassis, juniper berry, and star anise for real depth.
MugiHold on, we went from casual pub crawl to flavor astronomy. So what does ROSEBUD's tartness actually taste like?
Hop BroROSEBUD leans sour with raspberry and vinegar, MACGUFFIN brings apple and cinnamon, and TIMMUR uses Nepali pepper. The pairing range is huge, so it works with pasta or the Citra Bar chicken.
MugiThat's it, my stomach and curiosity both lost. Tonight becomes the first-pour championship, and somehow we're both going to want all seven.
P-144×Citraba is a beer pub about two minutes from the east exit of Ikebukuro Station. Spread across B1F through 2F, it offers counter seats, tables, and private rooms. The space has a warm, wood-heavy feel with soft lighting, and the kitchen centers on extra-thick fresh pasta, small Italian plates, and Citraba chicken. The official site also highlights a selection of 20 domestic craft beers.
The Instagram tap list highlights a Nara Brewing lineup. The beers shown in the post include `PURPLE TOWN`, a fruit sour ale built around cassis, juniper berries, and star anise; `KIP`, a wet-hopped hoppy pilsner; `EIGHTY EIGHT`, a saison with green tea; `WATERMELON HEAD`, a watermelon wheat ale; `ROSEBUD`, a sour ale with framboise and vinegar; `MACGUFFIN`, a smoked graff with cinnamon; and `TIMMUR`, an amber lager with Himalayan pepper.
It is a lineup that moves from crisp and clean to fruity, tart, and spice-driven. That makes the bar easy to use both for a first pint and for a meal-focused session. If you want to drink beer with pasta or fried chicken rather than treat beer as a standalone pour, this is the kind of place worth following for tap changes.
