Kitazawa Konishi releases original-label cans of "OUTER RIM IPA" for "Konishi Day" on May 24
Kitazawa Konishi announced on Instagram the release of an original-label can, "OUTER RIM IPA," for "Konishi Day" on May 24. The post also included references evoking Star Wars and The Mandalorian, giving it the playful feel of a long-established Shimokitazawa beer pub.
Hop BroHere it is, Kitazawa Konishi's Konishi Day limited news. An original-label can of "OUTER RIM IPA" is coming out on May 24, and even the name alone is exciting.
MugiWhoa! OUTER RIM IPA already sounds like something seriously powerful, doesn't it? Just being an original-label can is enough to get me hyped!
Hop BroExactly, and the setting is Kitazawa Konishi, a long-established beer pub in Shimokitazawa. They serve craft beer and hard cider, and the appeal is that you can enjoy whatever catches your eye right there on the spot.
MugiThat "enjoy it on the spot" thing, is that what they call a kakuuchi-style setup? Do you fight at the corner? With beer?
Hop BroNo, no, don't turn into a warrior species here. It means you can buy it and drink it inside the shop, so it's an easy, casual way to try it.
MugiOhhh! Then buying the limited label and opening it right away is amazing. And the announcement saying "Tomorrow, on sale!" has such great momentum that I love it!
Hop BroThe post's vibe is fun too, ending with "THIS IS THE WAY." That shows a pretty strong Star Wars obsession. The way it even leans into The Mandalorian is so Konishi.
MugiWait, does the label look like that too? Desert-like scenery, and lightsaber-style line art? That's the kind of thing where the story starts the moment you see it!
Hop BroExactly. The fun of these original cans is that you don't just taste the beer itself, you enjoy the whole world around it. It really shows the playful spirit you'd expect from a Shimokitazawa shop.
MugiThe limited feel is great, and the fact that you can drink it right after buying it is almost unfair! Seeing something like this makes me want to line up saying, "Just one to start."
Hop BroRight? And I think it's a move beer fans can't afford to miss. On Konishi Day, I'd love to raise a glass with OUTER RIM IPA in hand and say, "THIS IS THE WAY." together.
