Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa lists Setouchi Apricot Weizen and 10 more taps on June 25
Beerbar Festa (Shimokitazawa) published its June 25 tap list. The lineup includes Setouchi, Nomcraft, Minoh, T.Y. Harbor, Hansharo Beer, Knee Deep, Left Hand, DDC!, and Threes Brewing, plus the regular Heartland pour.
Hop BroBeer Bar Festa in Shimokitazawa just dropped its June 25 lineup, and it's 11 taps deep. The range goes from Setouchi to Knee Deep, so this list is seriously stacked.
MugiWait, Setouchi's Apricot Weizen already has me interested! Apricot in beer sounds more like dessert than a pint!
Hop BroThat's exactly the charm. It's a weizen-style pour made with wheat malt, so you get a soft mouthfeel with apricot fruitiness drifting through the aroma.
MugiHold on, what is weizen? The second the katakana starts piling up, I feel like I'm cramming for an exam!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a pale wheat beer. Just remember soft and fluffy vibes and you're basically there. Sometimes it even throws banana-like aroma, though please don't dunk toast into it.
MugiHah, noted, no toast! But even the domestic side has Kozaru IPA and Kanpai West Coast Pilsner together, and those sound like they have completely different personalities!
Hop BroThat's the beauty of this list. Minoh's Kozaru IPA has a session-leaning build that's easygoing, while T.Y. Harbor's Kanpai West Coast Pilsner brings a crisp, defined bitterness. Slot in Nomcraft's No War and the flow makes total sense.
MugiAnd the imports are wild too. Folsom Haze and Milk Stout already sound like fog and dairy fighting for screen time! Plus DDC!'s Petit Moral, Rose de Hibiscus, and Threes Brewing's Fool's Errand too?
Hop BroYep. Knee Deep's Folsom Haze is juicy, Left Hand's Milk Stout is rich and sweet, and DDC!'s Rose de Hibiscus is a floral tart standout. Hansharo's Cocofarm & Winery Shiro is almost gone, and even Heartland is there to keep the bases covered.
MugiAnd it's on the fifth floor near the station with beer and darts together? Even if one dart machine is unavailable after 8 p.m., I'm still fully ready to start with Apricot Weizen and do a tasting run.
Hop BroThat's the correct route. They've also got anniversary beer to-go plus solid can and bottle stock, so now I'm absolutely craving a round at Festa and finishing on the Milk Stout.
Beerbar Festa (Shimokitazawa) published its June 25 draft-beer lineup. The bar also notes that anniversary beers can be taken home, and that it keeps plenty of cans and bottles in stock. A darts board is part of the setup as well, although one board was unavailable from 8 p.m. that day.

Located on the fifth floor near Shimokitazawa Station, the venue lets you drink and play darts in the same room. That makes it an easy stop whether you want to work through a few different pours or stay longer for a relaxed weeknight session.
