And Beer Koenji announces July 12 service with Black Swallow on tap
And Beer, a brewpub in Koenji, Tokyo, has posted its July 12 Sunday service details. The featured beer is its own Black Swallow, alongside biryani and two curry options, making for a food-friendly beer stop.
Hop BroTonight's article has Black Swallow front and center. AND BEER in Koenji is featuring it for Sunday, July 12, and the whole announcement feels like a direct attack on my thirst.
MugiWait, what kind of dark beer is it? The name sounds dramatic, then suddenly it's a swallow. Cute but intimidating!
Hop BroIt's a house brew from AND BEER, a dark beer with oats and a lighter body than you'd expect. It drinks dry, feels smooth, and sounds built for food.
MugiBody means a body!? Why does beer always sound like it has a gym membership?
Hop BroBeer-nerd term, sorry. It basically means a soft, easy texture on your mouth. The oats round it out, then the finish snaps dry, so it doesn't get heavy.
MugiWhoa, and they have grilled mackerel biryani too? That's not a menu, that's a trap designed specifically for me.
Hop BroExactly, and the rest of it is loaded. There's Kerala chicken curry, Chettinad beef tendon curry, plus chili-dressed gizzard and black-vinegar pork, so it's basically a full spice parade.
MugiAlso, all-day service matters! They're open 11:30 to 21:00, and takeaway beer starts at 10:00, so I could plan lunch, round two, and emergency backup.
Hop BroAnd there's a pet-friendly terrace for dogs and cats. Very Koenji brewpub energy, and reservations by phone or official LINE keep it easy.
MugiNope, I'm done, this is today's plan. I want Black Swallow in one hand and curry rotation duty in the other.
Hop BroThat's the correct route. At this point I already want one pint immediately, because dark beer, spices, and biryani sounds unfairly good.
