AND Beer Serves “AND TAMIRU TADESSE- COFFEE ALE-” and Sets Up at the Seiseki Spring Beer Festival
Koenji brewpub AND Beer has released its business information for Friday, April 24. The guest beer is a coffee ale made in collaboration with Coffee Wrights, and the brewery is also taking part in the “Seiseki Spring Beer Festival,” which opened on 4/23.
Hop BroAND Beer’s all-day service in Koenji is really convenient. On Friday, April 24, you can stop by from lunch through the evening, and it’s great that takeout is available for such a long time too.
MugiWhoa, that convenient? Being able to stay there from lunch to night sounds like a beer lover’s paradise.
Hop BroAnd the star of the day is AND TAMIRU TADESSE- COFFEE ALE-. The collaboration with Coffee Wrights, using Ethiopian coffee beans for a guest beer, is pretty classy.
MugiA coffee ale? What is that! Beer with coffee in it? That sounds like it might wake your brain right up when you drink it.
Hop BroTo put it simply, it adds a layered roasted character on top of the malt's sweetness and toastiness. It’s not just coffee bitterness; the aroma has depth, so it’s interesting how the beer changes as it warms up.
MugiOhhh, so the temperature changes make it fun. It’s like getting a different beer from the first sip to the last!
Hop BroExactly. And AND Beer’s food is strong too, since the menu is full of dishes that work well as food-pairing beers. The shrimp, bamboo shoots, and butterbur-miso biryani, or the mustard chicken, are both bold and great choices.
MugiWait, biryani with butterbur miso!? That’s spring flavor at full power. It sounds way too strong as a beer companion.
Hop BroAnd then there’s strawberries with prosciutto and mascarpone, plus pork kakuni black-vinegar sweet-and-sour pork, so it’s basically a treasure trove of pairings. You can tell the menu was built with leisurely drinking at the shop in mind.
MugiAnd pets are allowed on the terrace too? That level of casual comfort is amazing! I’d love to stop by for a drink on a walk.
Hop BroOn top of that, they’re also at the Seiseki Spring Beer Festival, so you can enjoy tasting side by side at the venue too. Whether you take your time in Koenji or enjoy it casually at the event, this week the smart move is to hesitate a little.
MugiI’ve decided already! Tonight is coffee ale night! Whether in Koenji or at the festival, now I want to go out and find that one glass first.
