And Beer Koenji lists house sour beer ‘¡Dios mio!’ on June 12
And Beer Koenji posted its June 12 service notice, with all-day hours from 11:30 to 22:00. The featured beer is the house fruit sour “¡Dios mio!”, a sharp match for biryani and spice-driven dishes.
Hop BroI’ve got my eye on And Beer Koenji Taproom today. Their June 12 schedule is a straight shot from lunch to dinner with service running 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
MugiWait, all-day service means I could start with lunch beer and just blissfully drift into the evening like a professional vacationer!?
Hop BroAnd the star is house sour ¡Dios mio! It’s a 5.0% fruit sour from And Beer made with the red fruit of prickly pear cactus.
MugiWhat even is that! Prickly pear fruit sounds delicious and dangerous at the same time. The name alone feels like it should come with maracas!
Hop BroThe flavor leans into berry-like notes with a bright, refreshing tartness. Even though it comes from cactus fruit, it lands as juicy and approachable.
MugiOkay, but what about growler takeout from the article? That sounds less like beer and more like a wrestling move.
Hop BroA growler is basically a takeout bottle made for draft beer. They’re doing takeout from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., so you can drink there or bring it home.
MugiThat’s unfairly convenient. And carnitas biryani with lamb keema? This menu is clearly trying to ruin my self-control.
Hop BroThat’s where the beer’s bright acidity comes in. It lifts all that spice and umami, and that food-beer teamwork is what we call pairing.
MugiSo it works for a quick drink or a full meal, and the terrace is pet-friendly too? That place is showing off now.
Hop BroThey also take reservations, so it’s solid whether you’re dropping by or settling in. I’m already in a biryani and sour state of mind.
MugiSame. My drink plan tonight is officially locked: spicy food in one hand, ¡Dios mio! in the other, and zero regrets.
June 12 service
And Beer Koenji is open from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on June 12. Lunch runs from 11:30 to 15:00, followed by an idle period from 15:00 to 17:00 and dinner service from 17:00 to 22:00. Beer takeaway is available from 10:00 to 22:00, including bottles and growlers.
Beer pick
The featured beer is the house fruit sour “¡Dios mio!”. Brewed with the red fruit of prickly pear cactus, it is a 5.0% fruit sour with a bright, berry-like acidity. It reflects And Beer’s brewery in Katsunuma, Yamanashi, where the team focuses on ingredient-driven character.
Food pairing
The menu for the day includes carnitas biryani, lamb keema topped with salsa mexicana, and Gono miso keema. For dinner, the taproom also lists a mini gratin with lamb mapo eggplant, Hakata jidori chicken ham, and an ethnic spring roll with coriander and pork. The lineup makes it easy to pair a tart, refreshing beer with spice-forward food.
About the taproom
Located on the ground floor of a building in Koenji, And Beer is a brewpub centered on its own beer and spice-led cooking. It works well as a casual lunch stop, an early evening drink spot, or a full dinner destination. The terrace is pet-friendly, and both reservations and takeaway are supported.
