P-144×シトラバ in Ikebukuro serves seven craft beers, including two collabs
P-144×シトラバ, a beer pub near Ikebukuro East Exit, posted a seven-beer craft lineup featuring two collaboration brews with NAMACHAん Brewing and NOMCRAFT Brewing. The list pairs well with house dishes such as Citraba chicken and mala shrimp mayo.
Hop BroThere’s a lineup in Ikebukuro worth talking about. `P-144×Citra Bar` is pouring seven craft beers, and for a spot near the east exit, that is a pretty serious setup.
MugiWait, two collab beers too? I already panic-pick with three taps, so seven plus bonus rounds is just unfair!
Hop BroYep. `NAMACHAん Brewing × P-144×Citra Bar` made `IKE IKE 1st Squad`, and `NOMCRAFT Brewing × P-144×Citra Bar` made `UP!UP‼︎`, both in the Fruit Ale / Session IPA zone, so they feel bright, easy, and very pub-friendly.
MugiHold on, what is Session IPA? It sounds less like beer and more like a group therapy circle with hops.
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It means an easy-drinking IPA: plenty of aroma, lighter body, and the kind of beer that makes “just one” a dangerous lie.
MugiOhhh! And then there’s `Harland Brewing`’s `Lilikoi Yuzu` and `Jack's Abby Craft Lagers`’ `Porch Fest Summer Lager`... this is a traffic jam of cool names and I love it.
Hop BroThe range is strong too. You’ve got `Ishinomaki Hop Works`’ `Makikaze Ale`, `AND BEER Brewery`’s `Back Home`, and `Gigantic Brewing`’s `Party Wave IPA`, covering Fruit Sour to WCIPA so you can go from gentle to hop-forward.
MugiWCIPA? That sounds like a spell. If I say it three times, does a hop cone appear in my hand?
Hop BroIt’s `West Coast IPA`, the crisp, bitter, snappy kind. And the best part is how well it plays with Citra Bar Chicken or the mala shrimp mayo with Sichuan pepper and chili oil.
MugiThat is outrageous. I want mala shrimp mayo on the table, `IKE IKE 1st Squad` in one hand, and `UP!UP‼︎` queued up like a victory lap.
Hop BroThat is the correct route. It works whether you want a full meal or just beer, and I can already picture us disappearing into PAPILLON BLDG B1 without resistance.
MugiThen it’s settled! We’re doing a beer in Ikebukuro first, and if I fall deeper into craft beer after the first sip, I’m blaming you.
P-144×シトラバ is a beer pub on the B1-2F levels of PAPILLON BLDG near Ikebukuro East Exit. The venue is known for rotating craft beers, 10 kinds of lemon sour, Citraba chicken, and thick fresh pasta, so it works well both as a drinking stop and as a place for a full meal.
The latest post highlights seven beers under a "TODAYS CRAFT BEER LINE UP." Two are collaborations with the venue itself: `IKE IKE 1st Squad` from `NAMACHAん Brewing × P-144×シトラバ` and `UP!UP‼︎` from `NOMCRAFT Brewing × P-144×シトラバ`. Both point to the pub’s collaborative, local style.
The rest of the lineup spans a wide range: `Lilikoi Yuzu` from `Harland Brewing`, `Porch Fest Summer Lager` from `Jack's Abby Craft Lagers`, `巻風エール` from `石巻ホップワークス`, `Back Home` from `AND BEER Brewery`, and `Party Wave IPA` from `Gigantic Brewing`. Fruit ale, session IPA, fruit sour, lager, pale ale, West Coast IPA, and WCIPA all appear in one post, giving beer fans plenty of range in a single visit.
On the food side, the chef’s recommendation is `麻辣海老マヨ`, a mala-style shrimp mayo dish seasoned with sansho pepper and chili oil. For drinkers looking for a relaxed Ikebukuro pub with a broad tap list and beer-friendly food, this is an easy place to watch.
