Silver City 'Range West IPA' tapped at Shimokitazawa Festa, domestic and imported taps updated
Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa released its tap information for March 22, 2026. The new tap is Silver City's 'Range West IPA,' and the lineup features a wide variety of draft beers from Japan and abroad. Some labels are marked as nearly gone, making it a lineup you will want to secure early if you plan to compare beers that day.
Hop BroAt Shimokitazawa's Beer Bar Festa, Range West IPA has just been tapped. It's Silver City's West Coast style, and the taps are really lively today.
MugiWhoa! Is a new tap really that important? It feels like one of those "we have to go today" moments!
Hop BroIt is important, and this one has citrus and pine aromas, with a grapefruit-like bitterness that feels great. Because the body is lighter, it's the kind you can keep drinking.
MugiOhh! But does light body mean the flavor is thin? I'm a little confused there!
Hop BroNot at all. A lighter body means the mouthfeel isn't too heavy. It still has clear flavor, and it doesn't linger too much, so it's easy to move on to the next glass.
MugiI get it! So it's good for comparing beers. If there are both domestic and imported ones lined up, it sounds fun like bar hopping!
Hop BroExactly. On the domestic side, there are distinctive beers like Sansho White Ale and Sanriku Oyster Stout, and overseas you have hazies and double IPAs too. Plus there are some marked as almost gone, so the first-come-first-served feeling is irresistible.
MugiWhat is that! A running low label is the kind of thing that makes you suddenly want to sprint the moment you see it!
Hop BroAnd Festa is near Shimokitazawa Station, with food and darts too, so it's easy to enjoy whether you're drinking alone or with a group. The reason people keep coming back is that the taps keep rotating, and that's the strength of the place.
MugiI already want to go! For tonight's drink, I want to toast with Range West IPA and soak in that citrus aroma!
