Andbeer serves Gokugoku Gose and Azarashi Pilsner O-kawari
Andbeer in Koenji announced its lineup for Sunday, July 19. The brewery-pub will pour "Gokugoku Gose" from Kosugiyu Tonari and "Azarashi Pilsner O-kawari" from BeerPub Nekokoto Azarashi, alongside biryani and other spice-led dishes.
Hop BroToday's story is all about And Beer in Koenji. On Sunday, July 19, they've basically built a perfect day with two guest beers and a lineup of spicy food.
MugiWait, two guest beers? That's already a win. What are they pouring?
Hop BroFirst up is the Kosugiyu Tonari collab, Gokugoku Gose. It's a salted gose with Tokushima amanatsu citrus, made to go down dangerously easily in hot weather.
MugiHold on, what is gose? That sounds less like a beer and more like a secret special move.
Hop BroGose is a beer style with gentle tartness and a touch of salt. So think of it as a salty-refreshing beer and the picture gets way clearer.
MugiOhhh! And with amanatsu too? That's basically summer rescue mode in a glass. I want that ice cold.
Hop BroThe other one is Azarashi Pilsner Okawari from Mitaka's Neko to Kotoba to Azarashi. It's a revival of a pilsner once brewed at And Beer, light on its feet but still showing clear malt and hop character.
MugiBeer has character outlines now? Malt and hop character suddenly sounds like we're in an art class.
Hop BroHere's the simple version: malt gives the base and hop draws the aroma and bitterness. So it's light but not thin, which is exactly what a good pilsner should feel like.
MugiNow I want a side-by-side tasting. And oyster shiso biryani plus shrimp-and-eggplant biryani? That's perfect with spice.
MugiThey're open straight through from 11:30 to 22:00, and takeaway starts at 10:00? I want two rounds already, and I haven't even left the house.
Hop BroThat's the beauty of it, drink there slowly or take some home in a growler. Today I want both beers, and honestly, I want them with biryani for proper research.
July 19 at Andbeer
Andbeer in Koenji is operating on Sunday, July 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. with continuous service. The post also notes beer takeout from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with options for PET bottles, plastic cups, and growlers.
Two guest beers are highlighted. The first is Gokugoku Gose, a collaboration with Kosugiyu Tonari. It is described as a gose with salt and Tokushima summer mandarin, a crisp and easy-drinking option that feels especially suited to warm weather. The second is Azarashi Pilsner O-kawari, an original beer with BeerPub Nekokoto Azarashi in Mitaka. It is a revival of a pilsner Andbeer once brewed before, with a clean finish and a clearer sense of malt and hops.
Food Pairings
The food lineup centers on oyster shiso biryani and shrimp and eggplant shiso biryani. Other dishes include lemon-scented egg dip with green chili pickles and crackers, shrimp and yam with herb breadcrumbs, fried corn with garlic butter, and sweet-and-sour pork with black vinegar. The menu ranges from light snacks to fuller plates, making it easy to move between the tart edge of the gose and the crisp bitterness of the pilsner.
