And Beer Koenji Taproom features Another8Corner’s anniversary saison
And Beer, a brewpub in Koenji, Suginami, highlighted Another8Corner’s 4th-anniversary beer, “4LINE OVER..,” in its June 14 Sunday lineup. The taproom paired the guest beer with biryani and curry, while also offering takeaway options.
Hop BroKoenji has a pour worth talking about: fourth anniversary beer "4LINE OVER.." is on at the AND BEER taproom.
MugiWhat! That name goes hard! "4LINE OVER.." sounds like a finishing move. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's an Another8Corner anniversary release, and AND BEER is pouring it as a guest beer feature. The fun part is that it's a saison made with Bailey A wine grapes.
MugiWhoa, grape saison combo is a lot to process! So what even is a saison?
Hop BroAt the simplest level, it's a food-friendly ale with a light, dry finish. Yeast can give it some phenolic character, which is why it plays nicely with spiced dishes.
MugiHold on, phenolic character? That sounds less like beer and more like a chemistry quiz!
Hop BroThink clove or white pepper, basically a spice-like aroma. Add the soft fruitiness from Bailey A, and the suggestion to drink it by the pint makes total sense.
MugiOkay, then it's basically made for biryani, right? Carnitas biryani and lemon oyster curry are suddenly calling my name!
Hop BroThat's AND BEER's strength: spice dish paradise. Gujo miso keema is on the menu too, so it works whether you stay for dinner or just sneak in one great pint.
MugiAnd they also have takeout options, right? From 10:00 to 21:00, with PET bottles, plastic cups, and growlers. That's dangerously convenient!
Hop BroYep, with all-day opening from 11:30 and a terrace where dogs and cats are welcome, it's easy to drop in or settle in. Now I really want that anniversary saison with curry.
MugiSame here! Koenji immediately sounds like the only correct plan. Pint first, curry second, and zero regrets.
Featured Beer
In its Instagram post, And Beer highlighted “4LINE OVER..” as the beer of the night. The beer is a 4th-anniversary saison from Another8Corner, brewed with Bailey A wine grapes and suggested by the glass or pint.
Opening Hours
On Sunday, June 14, the taproom operated from 11:30 to 21:00 straight through. Lunch ran from 11:30 to 15:00 and dinner from 17:00 to 21:00. Beer takeaway was available from 10:00 to 21:00, with pet bottles, plastic cups, and growlers accepted.
Food Pairings
The food lineup included carnitas biryani, lemon oyster curry, and Gujo miso keema, making the bar easy to enjoy as a beer-and-food stop rather than just a quick drink. The menu reflects And Beer’s style: craft beer and spice-driven dishes sitting comfortably side by side. Terrace seating is pet-friendly, and guests can also use takeout or Uber Eats.
As a Koenji Brewpub
The address is 4-2-2 Koenji-Kita, Suginami-ku, Tokyo. As a brewpub in a residential pocket of Koenji, And Beer is set up for longer stays with food, not just a single pint. It works both as a destination for a special guest beer and as an easy stop for a meal with one well-chosen beer.
