P-144×Citraba shares a seven-beer tap list, including two collab brews
Ikebukuro beer pub P-144×Citraba posted today's tap lineup on Instagram. The list features seven beers, including collaboration brews with NAMACHA Brewing and NOMCRAFT Brewing, and it is set up for everything from lunch drinking to a relaxed evening stop.
Hop BroP-144 x Citra Bar in Ikebukuro just posted a seven-tap lineup for the day. It even has collabs with NAMACHA'n Brewing and NOMCRAFT Brewing, so this is a pretty tempting list.
MugiWhat, two collab beers right on the list? That's stacked. Seeing the taps before you walk in would get me excited immediately!
Hop BroThe headliners are IKE IKE 1st Squad with NAMACHA'n Brewing and UP!UP‼︎ with NOMCRAFT Brewing. The first is a 4.5% Fruit Ale, the second is a 4.5% Session IPA, so both are easy choices for a first pour.
MugiHold on, Session IPA sounds intense, so why is it only 4.5%? Is this beer trying to trick me with branding?
Hop BroThat's the fun part: high sessionability means it's designed to be easy to keep drinking. The alcohol stays light, but the hop aroma still comes through, so it keeps the IPA character.
MugiOhh, so you can start easy and still ramp things up later. Even the name Lilikoi Yuzu already sounds delicious.
Hop BroThe range is solid. Lilikoi Yuzu is a Fruit Sour, Porch Fest Summer Lager is a Lager, Makikaze Ale is a Pale Ale, and Back Home plus Party Wave IPA sit in the full-hop IPA zone.
MugiWait, WCIPA as an acronym suddenly sounds like a spell. How are Back Home and Party Wave IPA different from a regular IPA?
Hop BroWCIPA means West Coast IPA, and the point is crisp bitterness with a dry finish. Instead of leaning juicy and sweet, it makes the hop aroma and bite feel sharper and cleaner.
MugiSo P-144 x Citra Bar is a day-drinking-friendly spot, but it also gives you a path all the way into heavier IPAs at night? Opening at 11:30 is dangerously appealing.
Hop BroAnd the place is built around thick fresh pasta and small Italian plates, with a pairing idea like Amela tomato and mozzarella caprese with shiso pesto. It's easy to pair with food, which makes me want to start drinking there from lunch.
MugiI'm done for, my first glass plan is already UP!UP‼︎ and then Party Wave IPA to finish. Hop Bro, we're both clearly ready to drink, so let's just meet in Ikebukuro.
P-144×Citraba sits at 1-4-4 Higashi-Ikebukuro in the PAPILLON BLDG, with floors from B1 to 2F. The venue opens at 11:30, so it works well for lunch as much as for late-day drinking. Its core food offering is built around extra-thick fresh pasta and small Italian plates, making it easy to pair food and beer in either direction.
The Instagram post lists seven beers under `TODAYS CRAFT BEER LINE UP`. Two collaboration beers lead the board: `IKE IKE 1st Squad` with NAMACHA Brewing (Fruit Ale, 4.5%) and `UP!UP‼︎` with NOMCRAFT Brewing (Session IPA, 4.5%). Both are light enough to start with and set a friendly pace for the rest of the lineup.
The rest of the list broadens the range: Harland Beer `Lilikoi Yuzu` (Fruit Sour, 6.0%), Jack's Abby Craft Lagers `Porch Fest Summer Lager` (Lager, 5.5%), Ishinomaki Hop Works `Mankaze Ale` / `巻風エール` (Pale Ale, 5.0%), and beer brewery `Back Home` (West Coast IPA, 6.8%), and Gigantic Brewing `Party Wave IPA` (WCIPA, 7.0%). The styles move from fruit-driven and crisp to hop-forward, giving drinkers a clear path from a soft opening round to something more bitter and expressive.
The post also suggests a tomato and mozzarella caprese with shiso-based sauce, which fits the lineup well. For beer fans who want a place where lunch, dinner, and a varied tap list all make sense together, P-144×Citraba remains a practical stop in Ikebukuro.
