At Ikebukuro's vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR, "Starwatcher" and "Yellow Warbler" are now on tap
At the beer pub vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Ikebukuro East Exit, West Coast Brewing's "Starwatcher" and Inkhorn Brewing's "Yellow Warbler" have been newly tapped. The lineup of 20 draft beers is joined by a salmon rillettes dish with a smoky paprika flavor.
Hop BroAt vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Ikebukuro East Exit, two more interesting kegs have just opened. Following these new taps is enough to get you excited.
MugiWait, two beers tapped at once!? If I saw that, my plan to go home after just one drink would totally fall apart!
Hop BroFirst up is West Coast Brewing's Starwatcher. It's a West Coast IPA with a bright citrus character, made generously with Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops.
MugiCitra and Simcoe are hop names, right? They suddenly sound like a space spell, and my brain just froze!
Hop BroExactly. Hops are ingredients that add aroma and bitterness, and in a rough sense they're like a blueprint for citrus aroma. Starwatcher is the kind of beer that brings that character to the front.
MugiI see! Then what is Inkhorn Brewing's Yellow Warbler like? Just the name alone makes it sound cute enough that I want to drink it!
Hop BroThis one is a hazy double IPA. You can enjoy grapefruit-like aroma and bitterness, and within its cloudy juiciness, the hop presence still comes through clearly.
MugiSo hazy means cloudy beer, right? But once it says "double," it suddenly sounds strong, like I need to mentally prepare before drinking it!
Hop BroExactly. And on top of that, this place has 20 drafts in full force, with pale ale, saison, milk stout, imperial stout, and even cider. It's a lineup that lets you travel the beer world in one stop.
MugiAnd they even have salmon rillettes with smoky paprika? That's unfair! Paired with the citrus notes of IPA, that has to be delicious.
Hop BroOn Saturdays they open at 3 p.m., so it's also nice that you can start drinking slowly while it's still daylight. If you're looking to track down new taps in Ikebukuro all at once, this is definitely a place to keep on your radar.
MugiYeah, today is a perfect day for comparing beers! Start with Starwatcher, fly on with Yellow Warbler, and finish with the rillettes!
