Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa: 4/8 taps featuring CAL DUSK and Aventinus Eisbock
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa, a two-minute walk from the Central Exit of Shimokitazawa Station, has published its April 8 tap list. Distinctive beers confirmed include BEPPU Brewery's CAL DUSK, Vision Brewing Company's Double-Up IPA, STONE IPA, and Y.MARKET Brewing's Hysteric IPA.
Hop BroBeer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa has posted a photo update for its 4/8 tap reveal, and the lineup is out.
MugiWait, it's that close to the station? If it's only a two-minute walk, you'd be there before your throat even had time to get dry!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, it has 12 taps at a flat 800 yen, plus around 30 bottled beers, so even a casual stop turns into a proper tasting session.
MugiWhat, that's amazing! It's like a tasting paradise. I'd totally get lost there!
Hop BroWhat's especially interesting about this lineup is that you can spot BEPPU Brewery's CAL DUSK, Vision Brewing Company's Double-Up IPA, STONE IPA, and Y.MARKET Brewing's Hysteric IPA.
MugiWait, if it's IPA-heavy, does that mean a whole row of bitter beers? I'm a little scared, but curious!
Hop BroExactly. The main attraction is the hop-driven aroma and bitterness, with an American-style drinking profile at the center. And once Aventinus Eisbock comes in, it jumps all the way to rich German-style depth, so the range is huge.
MugiWhoa, Aventinus Eisbock sounds strong just from the name! It feels like the final boss or something, haha!
Hop BroThey also had a can from West Coast Brewing in the photo, so Festa really is the kind of place where you can have fun with cans as well as taps.
MugiAnd the food is things like house-made sausages and beef tendon stewed in beer? That's basically every reason you need to drink beer right there!
Hop BroThey're open late, and with two Dartslive machines too, it's the kind of place that feels like the right answer for a detour: drink, throw darts, then drink again.
MugiWow, now I really want to raise a glass in Shimokitazawa! Today I'd start with an IPA, then finish with something rich!
Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa is a craft beer pub two minutes on foot from the Central Exit of Shimokitazawa Station. It is known as a place that serves 12 craft beer taps at a flat 800 yen each, along with about 30 bottled beers. With counter seats and table seating, it is easy to drop in casually, while also offering a playful space equipped with two Dartslive machines.
In the April 8 post, the beers lined up in the shop were introduced in photos. Confirmed labels include BEPPU Brewery's CAL DUSK, Vision Brewing Company's Double-Up IPA, STONE Brewing's STONE IPA, Y.MARKET Brewing's Hysteric IPA, and Schneider Weisse's Aventinus Eisbock. In addition, a can from West Coast Brewing was also pictured, and the day's lineup is a broad one centered on IPAs, ranging from American hop character to German-style dark bottles.
On the food side, the lineup includes staples that pair well with beer, such as house-made sausages and beef tendon stewed in beer. Since it stays open late, it seems well suited to lingering over rotating taps while comparing different pours at your leisure.
