Inkhorn Brewing's Arotic Tern Tapped at vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Ikebukuro
vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Ikebukuro has tapped Inkhorn Brewing's Arotic Tern, a hazy double IPA with tropical fruit and citrus notes, adding another option to the bar's 20-draft lineup.
Hop BroThere’s a fresh tap update from Ikebukuro: Arotic Tern is on. It just landed at vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Higashi-Ikebukuro, brewed by Inkhorn Brewing.
MugiWhat! A new tap release already makes me want to go. So what kind of beer is Arotic Tern?
Hop BroIt’s a Hazy Double IPA with tropical fruit notes from hops layered with citrus flavor. Juicy, but still packed with real drinking heft.
MugiHold on, Hazy Double IPA sounds like a spell. Do I need magic points before I order it?
Hop BroPut simply, it’s a cloudy, bigger IPA. “Hazy” means that soft, murky look, and “Double IPA” means fuller aroma, stronger body, and more impact.
MugiOhh! So it has a juice-like aroma but still keeps that proper beer punch. Suddenly this beer sounds dangerously competent.
Hop BroAnd vivo! is a 20-tap lineup kind of place. IPA, lager, stout, all of it. Adding Arotic Tern gives that board one more serious option.
MugiTwenty taps? That’s a basement beer paradise. Ikebukuro really said, “Here, have a beautiful problem.”
Hop BroFor food, I’d pair it with the clam and lemon aglio e olio, or the chicken ham with avocado sour cream. Salt and umami help the hop character stand out.
MugiNope, that settles it, Ikebukuro right now. Tropical, citrusy, and strong with food too? I’m out of reasons not to drink Arotic Tern.
Hop BroThey open at 3 p.m. on Wednesdays, so it’s perfect for an after-work pint. This really feels like one of those beers you need to verify in person.
MugiAgreed, my drink meter is full. I can already hear myself taking one sip and yelling, “Whoa!”
New Tap
At vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Ikebukuro, Inkhorn Brewing's "Arotic Tern" has been tapped. It is a hazy double IPA with hop-driven tropical fruit character layered with citrus notes, making it a juicy, full-flavored pour for fans of modern hop-forward beers.
The bar is known as a craft beer specialist with 20 draft beers on tap, tucked away in the basement near the Ikebukuro East Exit. That setup makes it a good stop for comparative drinking, with a lineup that ranges from pale ales and lagers to saisons and stouts. On the day of the post, the shop was also guiding visitors to a 3 p.m. Wednesday opening, reinforcing its role as an easy stop for an afternoon or early evening beer in the neighborhood.
Food Pairings
The seasonal menu includes chicken breast ham with avocado and sour cream sauce, German potato salad, and clam-and-lemon aglio olio spaghetti. With a hazy DIPA like Arotic Tern, those dishes should give the beer a clean, food-friendly frame while keeping the hop aroma front and center.
