Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa posts 8/6 tap list with 10 beers
Beerbar Festa in Shimokitazawa posted its tap list for Wednesday, August 6. The beer pub is pouring up to 13 draft beers, plus bottles and cans, and opens at 6 p.m. for a late-night session.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Festa Shimokitazawa taps. Their August 6 list is out with six domestic and four imported beers, and they open at 6 p.m. and run late into the night.
MugiWait, six local and four overseas? That’s not a tap list, that’s a tournament bracket! And late-night hours means my last train is already panicking.
Hop BroIt gets better: they can pour up to 13 drafts, and the bottle and can lineup is solid too. There’s even a fruit beer shelf, so the fridge basically looks like an amusement park.
MugiOkay, but what is DIPA? It sounds like IPA after doing a hundred push-ups.
Hop BroImportant question. Double IPA means more hop aroma and usually more strength than a regular IPA, so something like Revision’s Revision DIPA comes in with a real punch.
MugiGot it! Then Moralite sounds like a stern lecture, but it’s actually a beer from Dieu du Ciel!, right? That name has serious pressure.
Hop BroExactly. The imports are four straight eccentrics: Revision DIPA, Moralite, Disco Ninja IPA, and DDC!’s Rose de Hibiscus. The range goes from bold bitterness to bright floral character.
MugiNo way, Rose de Hibiscus sounds stylish before I even taste it! I’m also curious about Yokohama Beer’s Weizen and Setouchi’s Dunkel.
Hop BroThat spread is the beauty of it. The tasting range is the whole point here: Hojo Stout, Yokohama Weizen, Setouchi Dunkel, and T.Y. Harbor’s Kampai West Coast Pilsner really cover a lot of ground.
MugiAnd Y.Market’s last-call pair, Jacaranda and Purple Jet Sky, suddenly makes this feel like a treasure hunt. First one to find them wins!
Hop BroAlso, through August they’re doing 4 a.m. Thursdays, which makes the darts-and-beer combo even stronger. And more names like DDC!, Sierra Nevada, COEDO, and Shiga Kogen are waiting in the wings.
MugiAt this point tonight’s top candidate is obviously Festa Shimokitazawa! I want to start with a Weizen and finish with a DIPA... no, wait, I want everything.
Hop BroThen we settle it over the first round. I’ll open with the Kampai West Coast Pilsner, you take the Weizen, and before long we’ll be planning a full tap tour.
