Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa taps Minoh x Yorocco “Compass”
Beerbar Festa (Shimokitazawa) has posted its draft lineup for August 8. The board features the new Minoh x Yorocco collaboration “Compass,” alongside domestic and imported taps from Shonan Beer, Yokohama Beer, T.Y. Harbor, Revision, and more.
Hop BroShimokitazawa is looking dangerous tonight; Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa just posted a 11-tap draft lineup for August 8, and it is stacked.
MugiWhat! A lineup that big in Shimokita? Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa is right by the station, isn't it?
Hop BroExactly. It is on the fifth floor in Kitazawa and opens at 6 p.m. The headline pour is Minoh x Yorocco Compass, a fresh collab keg.
MugiWhoa! But when you say collab keg, it suddenly sounds intense... what kind of beer is Compass?
Hop BroThe article does not go full spec-sheet on it, but those two breweries together already raise expectations. And sitting nearby is Kanpai West Coast Pilsner from T.Y. Harbor.
MugiWait, what is that! Does West Coast Pilsner mean a pilsner chilled by ocean breeze?
Hop BroI respect the image. It means the hop aroma is pushed up while the finish stays sharp, basically big aroma and crisp bite in one glass.
MugiOkay, that sounds fun! Comparing it with Shonan Beer's American-style IPA would really show how different hop characters pop.
Hop BroExactly. Then you have Houjou Stout, Yokohama Weizen, Setouchi Dunkel, and imports like Revision DIPA plus Moralite and Rose de Visciscus for even more range.
MugiThat is wild. Dark, wheaty, bitter, maybe tart too. And with mala fried tofu and egg, I can already feel myself ordering another round.
Hop BroAnd more kegs are waiting in the wings: Migration, Sierra Nevada, Y.Market, Shiga Kogen, Minoh, Sankt Gallen, and RePuBrew. Chasing the rotating taps is half the fun, and now I want to go.
MugiThen it is settled! I want to start with Compass and do a full side-by-side tasting with that spicy food tonight.
