And Beer Koenji features SAL SAL and PICO PICO on June 28
And Beer Koenji announced a June 28 service update alongside two house beers: SAL SAL and PICO PICO, both inspired by Mexican cocktail styles and presented as anniversary beers for sister shop olla.
Hop BroAt And Beer in Koenji Kita, the June 28 lineup comes with two seriously fun pours.
MugiWait, are those "SAL SAL" and "PICO PICO"? Those names already sound like a party!
Hop BroExactly. SAL SAL is a Margarita-inspired beer, built around Mexican lime and salt.
MugiWhat is that! Calling it a design makes it sound like science class. Lime-and-salt design means what, exactly?
Hop BroBasically, they’re aiming for balance of aroma and salinity. It hits crisp and bright, then stays snappy on the finish.
MugiWhoa. Then what about PICO PICO? I heard it’s based on Michelada, and now I need subtitles!
Hop BroThat one layers lemon with a five-chili blend, plus black pepper and salt, all riffing on a Michelada.
MugiFive chilies? And black pepper too? That’s not a beer, that’s a spice cabinet group project!
Hop BroThat’s the fun of it. Both were introduced as third-anniversary beers for their sister spot, olla in Asagaya, so a side-by-side tasting is basically the move.
MugiNow I want the beer flight and the food. Duck biryani with that lineup sounds unfairly good.
Hop BroAnd the place is easy to drop into with 11:30 to 21:00 nonstop service. Takeout starts at 10:00, growlers work, and even the terrace is pet-friendly.
MugiLunch-to-night drinking in Koenji? That settles it. I want that tasting flight now, and my throat has already left for the station!
At And Beer Koenji, the June 28 update pairs service information with two beer releases that lean into cocktail-inspired flavors. The brewpub is open from 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., making it easy to stop by across lunch and dinner hours. Beer takeaway is available from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with bottles, plastic cups, and growlers all accepted.
The featured beers are SAL SAL and PICO PICO. SAL SAL is modeled after the Mexican cocktail margarita and is built around Mexican lime and salt. PICO PICO takes its cue from michelada, bringing together lemon, five kinds of chili, black pepper, and salt. Both beers are introduced as 3rd-anniversary beers for olla, And Beer’s sister shop in Asagaya, and the post recommends tasting them side by side.
Food options on the day include duck biryani, eggplant and maitake dal, Gujo-miso keema, and other beer-friendly plates such as spring rolls and pork-based snacks. The terrace allows dogs and cats, and the shop also supports counter pickup and Uber Eats. For drinkers who want a brewpub where food, takeaway, and a full-day beer stop all fit together, Koenji has a clear option here.
