Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa, Shiga Kogen and Thornbridge on the May 15 taps
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa in Shimokitazawa revealed its draft beer lineup for its May 15 service. With 12 labels from Japan and abroad, including Shiga Kogen, Repubrew, Hansharo Beer, and Thornbridge, the post gave a feel for the shop’s atmosphere along with darts and event announcements.
Hop BroShimokitazawa’s 12-tap list is pretty aggressive in an interesting way. This was the lineup Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa posted on May 15, and just seeing Shiga Kogen and Thornbridge on the same list is already strong.
MugiWhat, Shiga Kogen and Thornbridge on the same day? And in Shimokitazawa, too? That’s basically a beer expedition!
Hop BroExactly. The Japanese lineup includes Tamamura Honten Shiga Kogen Beer "Snow Monkey IPA," Repubrew "Agemono Seim Age," and Hansharo Beer "Cocofarm & Winery White," so it’s a wide range from IPA to sour styles.
MugiWhoa, wait, sour as in sour-tasting, right? Beer with white and cherry flavors in the mix is making my brain struggle to keep up!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it fun. There are fruit-forward options like Setouchi "Cherry & Strawberry Sour," and you can also enjoy a wide range of flavors with beers like Beer Hearn "Enmusubi Beer Real Ale ver."
MugiI see! So you can mix in a standard Heartland and then fall into a tasting rabbit hole. A place like this would definitely make you want to stay a while!
Hop BroAnd it’s a casual beer pub on the fifth floor near Shimokitazawa Station, where you can play darts too. It really has that Festa feel of drinking while having fun, not just drinking beer.
MugiSeriously? Beer and darts? Solo drinkers and groups are both welcome? That’s way too convenient!
Hop BroOn top of that, Friday means they run until 4 a.m., so it’s nice that you can stop by late without worrying. They also posted event notices like the June 19 "Beer Lovers' Association," so it was the kind of post that really showed the shop’s atmosphere.
MugiI’m done for, I want to toast right now! I want to drink from Snow Monkey IPA to Jaipur IPA, and enjoy the darts and events all together!
