MugiWait, that just kicks off out of nowhere!? And Faction Brewing sounds strong just from the name!
Hop BroThe lineup is great too. There are four beers: WINTER IPA, ALL IN IPA Columbus, Commando 450, and Hamaru IPA. It’s exactly the kind of thing IPA fans will love.
MugiWhoa, just the names are enough to get me tipsy! And what does single-hop even mean? Does that mean they used only one hop?
Hop BroYeah, more or less. Basically, it's an IPA built with just Columbus. It's like a one-shot showcase of hop character, with the aroma taking center stage.
MugiOhhh! So West Coast style means super sharp bitterness, right?
Hop BroExactly. These four beers are all about really letting you enjoy hop aroma and bitterness, and they’re especially fun when you drink them at a beer pub like Two Fingers.
MugiAnd there are so many limited-edition words here - draft-only, Japan-exclusive, and more! If we don’t go now, we’re going to regret it!
Hop BroPlus, on Saturday, March 21, there’s also a Kiriwo Meshi popup. If hazy ramen, cartilage sooki, and slow-simmered dishes are on the menu, there’s no stopping the drinks.
MugiThat sounds amazing! If it’s until sold out, then we have to go all in on both the beer and the food. I already want to head to Ikebukuro and raise a glass!
An Instagram post from Two Fingers (Nishi-Ikebukuro, Toshima Ward, Tokyo) announced that a mini tap takeover featuring Faction Brewing has begun. The lineup includes four beers: WINTER IPA (limited-time), ALL IN IPA Columbus (single-hop), Commando 450 (draft-only), and Hamaru IPA (Japan-exclusive, draft-only). All four are being introduced as "delicious West Coast-style beers," and the selection should appeal to anyone who wants to fully enjoy hop aroma and bitterness.
What stands out in this post is the strongly limited-edition lineup. Because it brings together limited-time, single-hop, draft-only, and Japan-exclusive beers, even within the same IPA family, it looks like there will be plenty of fun in comparing them side by side. The Faction Brewing tap takeover also makes this a good occasion to slowly work through a few pints in the laid-back beer-pub atmosphere that Two Fingers is known for.
In addition, a Kiriwo Meshi popup will be held only on Saturday, March 21. Planned items include Hazy ramen (with seasonal firefly squid broth), slow-simmered cartilage sooki, char siu menma plate, and seasoned egg. All food items are limited in quantity and will be sold until they run out.
As a beer pub in the Ikebukuro area, Two Fingers is a place worth dropping by alongside its limited taps. On a day like this, when the lineup makes each beer's character clear and the food practically invites you to keep drinking, it's especially worth checking out.
