Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa lists 11 beers for Aug. 5
Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa shared its tap list for Wednesday, August 5. The lineup includes Y Market Brewing “Jacaranda,” Yokohama Beer “Weizen,” and DDC! “Rose Diviscus,” spanning Japanese and overseas styles.
Hop BroShimokitazawa is looking dangerous tonight. Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa just posted 11 beers on tap for August 5, and the lineup is way too good for a casual stop after work.
MugiWhat! Eleven different taps ? And it opens at 6 p.m. and runs until 1 a.m.? That's basically a direct attack on my self-control.
Hop BroThe headliners are Y.Market Brewing's Jacaranda and Purple Jet Sky. It's a double hit of hop-forward beers that sounds perfect if you're into aromatic pours.
MugiOkay, but when you say hop-forward aroma, what does that even mean? Does the glass start launching fireworks at my face?
Hop BroNo fireworks, sadly. Think citrusy or tropical aromas rising from the glass. In other words, the aroma takes center stage before you even sip it.
MugiOoh, got it. Then Yokohama Beer’s Weizen is probably the friendly classic here, right? The name already sounds soft and approachable.
Hop BroExactly. A Weizen uses wheat malt, so you often get banana-like notes and a smooth mouthfeel. Meanwhile, Setouchi's Dunkel and Houjou's Stout lean into deeper malt richness.
MugiHold on, Dunkel and Stout sound like fantasy spells. But I like that this list goes from easy-drinking to dark and serious depending on the mood.
Hop BroAnd it keeps going: T.Y. Harbor's Kampai West Coast Pilsner, Revision DIPA, Disco Ninja IPA, and DDC!'s Rose de Hibiscus. That's a serious range from crisp to punchy to quirky.
MugiThis is bad news, because I want a tasting flight now. On a hot day, starting with the Weizen, then Jacaranda, then finishing with Rose de Hibiscus sounds absurdly good.
Hop BroWhat makes Festa even better is how fast the taps rotate, so today's 11 beers are basically a one-night snapshot. If you're hunting for that perfect pour in Shimokitazawa, this is the move.
MugiThen it's settled. Tonight calls for a pint at Festa and at least five minutes of dramatic indecision over the tap list before the first order.
