And Beer in Koenji posts eight-tap lineup with Gokugoku Gose and Azarashi Pilsner O-kawari
And Beer in Koenji shared its August 8 lineup, pairing house beers such as Shade Break and Black Swallow with guest pours from BeerPub Nekokoto Azarashi and Kosugiyu Tonari, alongside spice-driven food.
Hop BroToday’s topic is And Beer in Koenji and their August 8 tap list. They’ve got eight taps, including “Gokugoku Gose” and “Azarashi Pilsner Okawari,” so the lineup looks seriously fun.
MugiWhat! Azarashi Pilsner Okawari is such a wild name! It sounds cute and also like the beer is already demanding a second round.
Hop BroThat’s the thing, And Beer already has a huge range just from their own brews. They’ve got Vaizen Hakkochuu!, sumomomo, Shade Break, Black Swallow, Back home, PEACH, plus guest beers tied to BeerPub Neko to Azarashi and Kosugiyu Tonari.
MugiOkay, but hold on, West Coast IPA means what exactly? It sounds like a spell you unlock after staring at the ocean for three hours.
Hop BroIt sounds dramatic, but basically it means crisp and bitter in a clean way. Back home fits that style, while Shade Break is an American IPA with plenty of American hops and a more aromatic punch.
MugiGot it! Then what about oatmeal stout for Black Swallow? That still sounds like breakfast accidentally became beer.
Hop BroFair question. An oatmeal stout usually gives a smoother texture, so you get the roasted dark-beer character with a softer mouthfeel. PEACH goes fruity, and sumomomo sounds intriguing too.
MugiAnd the food is all about spice, right? Bonito tataki achar rice, shrimp biryani, winter melon dal chicken, Gujo miso keema... my stomach is already on its way there.
Hop BroExactly. It’s open straight through from 11:30 to 22:00, takeaway runs 10:00 to 22:00, and the terrace is pet-friendly for dogs and cats. Very And Beer: great solo, great with food.
MugiHow is Koenji allowed to have this many temptations in one place? I want to start with Gokugoku Gose, go back for Azarashi Pilsner Okawari, and finish with PEACH.
Hop BroThat sequence is pretty solid. This is basically a direct trip to And Beer kind of day. Eight taps plus spiced dishes is exactly the sort of plan that makes you want to drink through the whole menu.
August 8 tap lineup in Koenji
And Beer posted its August 8 service notice and tap list on Instagram. The brewpub is open continuously from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with beer takeout available from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The post also notes that the terrace welcomes dogs and cats.
The lineup includes house beers such as "Weizen fermentation in progress!", "sumomomo", "Shade Break", "Black Swallow", "Back home", and "PEACH", plus guest beers "Azarashi Pilsner O-kawari" and "Gokugoku Gose". `Shade Break` is And Beer’s American IPA, built around a heavy use of American hops. `Black Swallow` is an oatmeal stout, `Back home` is a West Coast IPA, and `PEACH` is a fruit ale with a softer, fruit-forward profile.
The guest pours are confirmed as `Azarashi Pilsner O-kawari` from BeerPub Nekokoto Azarashi and `Gokugoku Gose` from Kosugiyu Tonari. Food includes katsuo tataki achar rice, shrimp biryani, winter melon dal chicken, and Goju miso keema. It is the kind of tap list that makes And Beer’s spice-led brewpub identity easy to read from the glass and the plate together.
