And Beer in Koenji has posted its service notice for Sunday, June 28. The taproom is highlighting two anniversary beers from its sister shop olla, SAL SAL and PICO PICO, while also offering all-day service and beer takeaway.
Hop BroToday’s topic: And Beer in Koenji is featuring SAL SAL and PICO PICO on June 28, and that’s a pretty fun update.
MugiWhat, those names already sound fun! And Beer Koenji is that brewpub, right?
Hop BroExactly. They’re open straight through from 11:30 to 21:00, and the stars are two 3rd anniversary beers for their sister shop olla in Asagaya.
MugiAnniversary beers with names like that? I’m in. So, what kind of style are we talking about?
Hop BroSAL SAL is a Margarita-inspired beer using Mexican lime and salt, so it borrows that cocktail vibe in a beer form.
MugiWait, what is that supposed to be? A cocktail? A beer? The border is blurry here!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s beer built to feel cocktail-like, and PICO PICO is a Michelada-inspired beer with lemon, five kinds of chili, black pepper, and salt.
MugiFive chilis is suddenly very serious! And that citrus aroma thing you said earlier, what does that actually mean?
Hop BroBasically, it’s the smell you get right when the glass gets close. If you compare the two, the salt and spice contrast really pops, and that’s the fun of it.
MugiOhh, nice! And with dashi-topped grilled mackerel biryani and curry on the menu, I’d totally want to test the food pairing potential too.
Hop BroTakeout runs from 10:00 to 21:00, they’ll fill PET bottles and growlers, and there’s even a pet-friendly terrace , so honestly I already want a glass.
MugiSame here! I want SAL SAL and PICO PICO side by side with a plate of biryani and a proper cheers.
And Beer in Koenji posted its service notice for Sunday, June 28. The taproom will be open from 11:30 to 21:00 without a break, with lunch from 11:30 to 15:00 and dinner from 17:00 to 21:00. Beer takeaway is available from 10:00 to 21:00, and the shop accepts pet bottles, plastic cups, and growlers.
The main beer recommendations are `SAL SAL` and `PICO PICO`, both introduced as 3rd-anniversary beers for the sister shop `olla` in Asagaya. `SAL SAL` is based on the Mexican cocktail Margarita and uses Mexican lime and salt. `PICO PICO` is modeled after the Mexican beer cocktail Michelada and includes lemon, five kinds of chili, black pepper, and salt. The post specifically suggests tasting the two side by side.
Food on the day includes dashi-style biryani with grilled mackerel and with duck mince, plus curries such as Wadasu chicken, fried eggplant and maitake dal, Kerala beef large intestine, and Gujo miso keema. The terrace is pet-friendly, and both takeaway and Uber Eats are also available. It is a very clear brewpub setup: distinctive house beer, curry, biryani, and a casual neighborhood atmosphere in Koenji.
