Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa updates its tap list with 11 beers
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa, a beer pub in Shimokitazawa, posted its tap list for June 20. The bar opens at 6:00 p.m. today and stays open until 4:00 a.m. on Saturday, with a lineup that spans Japanese and overseas beers.
Hop BroShimokitazawa looks strong tonight; 11 taps on the list at Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa is a serious lineup. They updated the June 20 draft menu, and it covers both Japanese and overseas beers in one shot.
MugiWhat! Local and imported together? I’m already lost before I even order! And they’re open until 4 a.m. on Saturday? That is way too kind to both last-train people and night owls.
Hop BroExactly, 6 p.m. opening, 4 a.m. close makes it really easy to drop in. They even say casual walk-ins are welcome, and for a fifth-floor beer pub, that range is genuinely good.
MugiWhoa! The names alone are chaos! Kozaru IPA sounds adorable, and then No War and Kampai West Coast Pilsner show up and my brain spills right out of the glass!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part: three distinct local styles right there. Minoh’s Kozaru IPA leans hoppy, T.Y. Harbor’s Kampai West Coast Pilsner is crisp and refreshing, Yokohama Beer’s Seya Wheat Beer is soft and gentle, and Heartland gives you a reliable regular option.
MugiWait a second, West Coast Pilsner is what exactly? Is it a pilsner? Is it an IPA? Which personality am I supposed to toast with?
Hop BroBest shortcut is a pilsner with hop aroma. You get that clean lager finish, then a citrusy hop lift on top, so it’s not just some bitter muscle-beer flex.
MugiOkay, aromatic but easy-drinking actually sounds perfect! That feels like a craft beer I can approach without needing a dictionary.
Hop BroThe imports are no slouch either; from hazy to stout is a great spread. Knee Deep’s Folsom Haze, Left Hand’s Milk Stout, DDC!’s Petit Moral and Rose de Biscus, plus Cerise’s Fool’s Erland take it all the way into fruit-beer territory.
MugiThere it is again, what even is hazy? The word already sounds foggy, and Rose de Biscus is so elegant my vocabulary just walked out on me!
Hop BroThink of hazy as cloudy and juicy. It looks misty in the glass and usually throws off big fruit-like aromas. Also, Seya Wheat Beer and Hansharo Beer’s Coco Farm & Winery White are nearly gone, so getting there early is the smart move.
MugiThen it’s settled: meet in Shimokitazawa early. First a crisp one, then a hazy, then a stout to finish, and by 4 a.m. I want to be friends with the entire tap list!
