Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa taps Y.MARKET Brewing's 'Jacaranda' on July 30
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa tapped Y.MARKET Brewing's "Jacaranda" on July 30. The beer pub also released its lineup for the day, with a darts exchange match affecting part of the evening service.
Hop BroShimokitazawa has a fun one today. At Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa, Y.MARKET's Jacaranda was newly tapped on July 30.
MugiWait, that sounds like a flower! What even is Jacaranda?
Hop BroIt's a beer from Y.MARKET BREWING, described with floral aroma, citrus flavor, and a firm but pleasant bitterness.
MugiHold on, aroma and flavor together makes me feel like I need a textbook! What's the difference?
Hop BroAroma is what hits your nose first, and flavor is what spreads across your palate when you drink. So it moves from flowers to citrus.
MugiNice! And there's a darts event that night too, right? Can the here-for-beer crowd still come in?
Hop BroYep. From around 8:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., darts use is paused, but some counter seats and tables are open for watching with a beer.
MugiThat rules! Open from 6:00 p.m. and last call on weekdays is 1:00 a.m., so it's basically an after-work overtime plan.
Hop BroAnd it isn't just Jacaranda. The list runs through stout, weizen, dunkel, IPA, and West Coast pilsner, so the style range is huge.
MugiWait, they also have Purple Jet Sky, Cheers West Coast Pilsner, and even Disco Ninja IPA? I might get tipsy from the menu alone!
Hop BroAnd Stay Dread plus High Five IPA are almost gone, so this is a grab-one-before-it's-gone situation.
MugiThen it's settled! I'll start with Jacaranda for a floral debut, you chase the low-stock taps, and we finish with a Shimokitazawa toast!
