Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa’s 3/27 Tap List Features 6 Domestic and 6 Imported Beers
Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa has released its tap list for March 27. The lineup includes 13 beers in total: 6 domestic, 6 imported, and 1 regular beer, with a few kegs down to the last pours. It’s a beer pub in the spirit of Shimokitazawa, offering both darts and craft beer in one place.
Hop BroShimokitazawa’s Beer Bar Festa has updated its March 27 taps, and it’s turned into a festival of 13 beers. Six domestic, six imported, one regular, and it’s set up like a beer pub with darts too.
MugiWhoa, there are already way too many ways to count beer! Drinking that much while playing darts in Shimokitazawa sounds ridiculously fun!
Hop BroThe domestic side is strong too, with Forest’s "Komorebi Pale Ale," Matsue Beer Herun’s "Sansho White Ale," and Iwate Kura’s "Sanriku Oyster Stout" leading the way. It’s a lineup with a really distinctively Japanese character.
MugiWait, sansho and oysters!? Isn’t the flavor direction total traffic jam!? I can’t even tell if this is food or beer anymore!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. The sansho brings a sharp spicy kick, the oyster stout has deep richness, and the nearly gone "Black Mist of Bamberg," "Sanriku Oyster Stout," and "Tipsy" are in a race for the kegs.
MugiWhat, so it’s first come, first served for the drinkers too!? I’m exactly the kind of person who runs straight to limited editions!
Hop BroThe imported side is strong too, with Silver City’s "Hefeweizen" and "Range West IPA," Lucky Envelope’s "Tangerine Hazy IPA," Puyallup’s "Cozy Night," and Echoes’ "Monk’s Indiscretion" giving it a really wide aromatic range.
MugiOhhh! When I hear hazy IPA, I just think, is that the cloudy one that looks like a cloud?
Hop BroPretty much, yes. The hop-driven juiciness and haze are part of the appeal, while hefeweizens bring softness from the wheat and IPAs put bitterness and aroma front and center. That’s why pairing it with Heartland makes it easy to build a tasting baseline.
MugiGot it! Then on Friday I want to hang in there until the 4 o’clock last call, and before the March 29 cherry-blossom viewing or the April 21 "Beer Lovers’ Association," I want to go pick my first beer!
Hop BroSounds good. Just drop by casually, in true Shimokitazawa style, toss a dart or two, and then tilt your glass. Right now, it really feels like the next pour can’t wait.
MugiTotally! I want to go right now and aim for one of the nearly empty kegs!
