Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa opens Silver City's 'Hefeweizen' on its 3/24 tap list
Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa, a beer pub in Shimokitazawa, has released its tap list for March 24. The new taps are Silver City's 'Hefeweizen' and 'Range West IPA', alongside a wide selection of domestic and imported beers and the standard Heartland.
Hop BroShimokitazawa's 3/24 tap list at Beer Bar Festa is pretty interesting. Silver City's 'Hefeweizen' and 'Range West IPA' are newly tapped, and they really hit you with a craving to compare them side by side.
MugiWhoa! Hefeweizen already sounds tricky! But that aroma-forward vibe is super intriguing.
Hop BroThat's the appeal. 'Hefeweizen' is a wheat beer, and as the caption says, the yeast-derived aroma is the highlight. The soft wheat malt and the yeast's bright character combine to create a light, fluffy impression.
MugiWhen you say yeast-derived, it suddenly sounds like a science experiment! So basically, the beer just makes its own good smell?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, yes. And with the other newcomer, 'Range West IPA,' you can line up the aromatic hefeweizen and the bitter IPA for two contrasting pours.
MugiNice, that sounds like a comparison tasting! I'll start by bracing myself a little for how far the bitterness goes!
Hop BroWhat's more, Festa Shimokitazawa has a wide domestic selection. From Forest's 'Komorebi no Pale Ale' and Matsue Beer Hearn's 'Sansho White Ale' to Iwate Kura's 'Sanriku Oyster Stout,' it's full of distinctive picks.
MugiSansho and oysters?! This is basically a beer cultural festival! Just seeing the names makes my snack cravings run wild first!
Hop BroAnd having a standard Heartland on the board gives it a reassuring anchor. The imported side is also strong, with Thornbridge, Lucky End Rope, Puyala, and Echo's all lined up, so it has broad coverage.
MugiThe fact that you can play darts inside too makes it the kind of place where you drink, throw, and get rowdy! It's so Shimokitazawa that it's not just beer, it's a playable space.
Hop BroExactly. You can already see the March 29 hanami outing and the April 21 'Beer Lovers' Meeting,' so this isn't just a tap list; it's a setup that brings people to the bar. This is definitely a place I'd want to take my time with late into the night.
MugiI can't take it, my throat's already reacting just from reading it! I think the happiest flow would be to start with the Hefeweizen and finish by settling down with a Heartland!
Hop BroNice. Then I'll chase the bitterness of the 'Range West IPA' and probably end up wanting one more... I'm fully in the mood to go drink in Shimokitazawa tonight.
