Hop BroToday at Beer Bar Festa in Shimokitazawa, a total of 12 taps all came on at once. Six domestic and six imported beers are lined up, which is basically irresistible for tap list fans.
MugiWhat! Twelve kinds? Six domestic and six imported beers? That's the kind of lineup that makes choosing feel fun before you even start!
Hop BroExactly. And the fact that they have Shiga Kogen's Fresh Hop Grisette is great. It's the kind of beer that's light on its feet, with hop aroma that rises cleanly.
MugiA grisette? What even is that! Even when you say a light beer, I still want to know what it actually tastes like.
Hop BroSimply put, it's the kind of beer you can keep drinking because of its dry finish. It keeps the malt sweetness restrained and is easy to pair with food, which is basically its role.
MugiOhhh! So Isekadoya's Fresh Pressed Beyond the Pacific is the kind of thing that makes you want to do a tasting comparison, right?
Hop BroAnd on top of that, there's DDC!'s Don de Lucan and Thornbridge's Double Green Mountain, so you can really enjoy that IPA-forward energy too.
MugiAnd they even have fruity beers with cherry and strawberry? Seriously, the flavor categories are all in a traffic jam!
Hop BroThey do. Setouchi's Cherry & Strawberry, Forest's Takibi no Dunkel, and even Repubrew's dark-style beers are on there, so you can go all the way from light to dark in one sitting.
MugiBut it's also a darts place, right? If there's a use restriction after 8 p.m., we have to drink first and then hold strategy meeting later!
Hop BroExactly. The right move is to get there early at 6:00 p.m. and have a drink on the 5th floor, just a 2-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station. The Beer Lovers' Gathering sounds interesting too, so this is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to go tonight.
MugiYeah, it feels like a perfect tasting day! If there's both darts and beer, then we've definitely committed to making this a stop along the way.
Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa is a beer pub on the 5th floor, a 2-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station. With counter seats and table seating, it has a casual atmosphere centered on craft beer and darts. In its post for Thursday, 4/16, it announced that business would begin with a 6:00 p.m. opening.
The draft lineup for the day consisted of 12 taps in total: six domestic beers and six imported beers. The domestic selections were Shiga Kogen's "Fresh Hop Grisette," Isekadoya's "Fresh Pressed Beyond the Pacific," Setouchi's "Cherry & Strawberry," Forest's "Takibi no Dunkel," Repubrew's "Hamburg no Kuroi Kiri," and Regular Beer's "Heartland." The imported beers were Slyce's "Between the Lines," DDC!'s "Don de Lucan," Burnt Mill's "Diamond Lake," Silver City's "Hefeweizen" and "Range West IPA," and Thornbridge's "Double Green Mountain."
Looking at the styles, the lineup ranges from light, brisk beers like grisette and weizen to IPA, darker dunkels, and beers with fruit elements. It makes it easy to compare differences in drinkability, and the selection is structured so you can build a flow from your first glass onward.
On the day, darts could not be used from around 8:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. due to the Shimokitazawa darts meetup. The post also included notices for the "Shimokitazawa Darts Festival," scheduled for Sunday, 5/17, and the "Beer Lovers' Gathering," scheduled for Tuesday, 4/21, clearly reflecting the shop's character as a place where beer and darts naturally coexist. It's a spot worth checking out on a day when you want to follow the tap list in Shimokitazawa.
