Two Fingers Opens 12 Special Taps in West Ikebukuro for Nao's Birthday
The beer pub Two Fingers in West Ikebukuro has released a tap list timed to staff member Nao's birthday. Along with the house beers, guest kegs from Craft Rock, Fidens, Revision, WCB, and others from Japan and abroad are lined up, and today's recommendation is Little House's brown ale.
Hop BroAt Two Fingers in West Ikebukuro, they've put together a Nao birthday tap lineup. With house beer and guest kegs all on the taps, the whole place already feels like one big celebration.
MugiWait, they build a tap list around a birthday!? A 12-beer lineup is basically a mini beer festival!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is great too. It spans everything from Helles to Triple IPA, so it's set up for both easy drinking and going bigger.
MugiHelles and Kolsch sound dreamy just by name! How do you even drink different styles?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, lighter lager styles go down easy, Kolsch is even smoother, and IPA leans hard into hop aroma. Two Fingers is nice because that also comes with the pleasure of their house brews.
MugiOhh! So the first pour could be something crisp like Highway to Helles!
Hop BroExactly. Then you can move lightly into the Kolsch Drink All Day, and if your mood picks up, you can jump to a HAZY like Fidens' QDH Jasper.
MugiQDH? What kind of spell is that! The haze in HAZY is that juice-like look, right?
Hop BroThat's right. It usually leans fruity and juicy, with a softer mouthfeel. And today's pick is Little House's brown ale, which is super smooth.
MugiBrown ale, then nitro stout, and finally sour waiting in the wings? That's the best! The way the flavors change is so clean, it makes you want to keep drinking!
Hop BroYeah, and once a keg kicks they'll bring on Nao's beloved sour ale too, so this is definitely one to watch in Ikebukuro. Seeing a lineup like this makes you start imagining not just your first drink, but your second too.
MugiI can't take it, now I really want a drink! Two Fingers is the place for the first stop tonight!
