Eight Craft Beers Tap at Ikebukuro's P-144 × Citra Bar, Including Sierra Nevada
Ikebukuro's Higashi-Ikebukuro beer pub, "P-144 × Citra Bar," unveiled its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup ranges from Sierra Nevada's Pils to lager, saison, stout, IPA, Cold IPA, Session Hazy IPA, and Black IPA.
Hop BroThe eight-tap opening at Higashi-Ikebukuro's beer pub, P-144 × Citra Bar is one not to miss. Starting with Sierra Nevada's Pils, it runs from lager to Black IPA, giving it a pretty wide spread.
MugiWait, they have eight taps right off the bat? I'm already so happy I can't even process it before choosing!
Hop BroWhat's great is that it lines up from Pils to Black IPA. You can go with a light Pils, a Session Hazy IPA that really lets the hop aroma shine, or a bitter Black IPA, so you can play to your mood.
MugiHold on, isn't Session Hazy IPA a way too long name? And everything sounds kind of fuzzy, so I'm getting lost on which is which!
Hop BroBasically, it's the kind that's light and bright on aroma. The alcohol feel is on the gentler side, and the hop juiciness comes through easily, so it's a good first drink too.
MugiOh, I see! Then it sounds perfect for a pre-lunch drink. And if they open at 11:30 on weekdays, that's already a lunchtime treat!
Hop BroExactly, and it's near Sunshine City, with the place spanning the B1F through 2F of the PAPILLION BLDG, so it's really easy to pair with a meal. Extra-thick fresh pasta and Italian food with beer? That's almost unfair.
MugiExtra-thick fresh pasta is basically beer's perfect partner! If you drink stout with that, it feels like you could head straight to dessert.
Hop BroA stout like Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s has roasty, toasty aroma, which pairs well with the richness of the food. They also have beers with strong Citra-like hop character and a Cold IPA, so hop lovers will be well satisfied too.
MugiWhat is this, the whole thing is a drink-by-mood rabbit hole! Start with Pils, get excited with IPA, and then wind down with the dark one at the end. That's the best!
Hop BroBottom line, if you want both food and beer in Higashi-Ikebukuro, this is a strong pick. Whether you go light today or finish with bitterness, just thinking about it makes my throat want a drink.
MugiYeah, I already feel like going right now! Start with the Pils, then a saison, and finish with a Black IPA - let's toast together, the two of us!
