Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa announces BrewDog's new tap on Friday, April 24
In a Friday, April 24 post, Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa shared today's tap lineup. The new addition is BrewDog's 'Double Hazy Jane,' a hazy IPA with more heft than the standard 'Hazy Jane.' With domestic and imported draft beers on offer inside the shop, it's a place to enjoy drinks from 6 p.m. until late at night.
Hop BroToday’s highlight is Double Hazy Jane. Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa put it out as the new tap in its April 24 tap update, and it's BrewDog's standard hazy IPA turned up to max.
MugiWhoa! A maxed-out version? Beer somehow gets bigger like ramen? That already sounds delicious!
Hop BroExactly. In short, it's a richer hazy one. Like a hazy IPA should, it's the kind that brings out a cloudy look and juicy character, with aroma spreading gently.
MugiHuh, so why is a hazy IPA so 'hazy' anyway? It sounds cute, like a cloudy day!
Hop BroGood catch. The components from the yeast and hops tend to remain, so it naturally turns cloudy. And this one is a 'double,' so it's easy to think of it as one step stronger in both hop character and body.
MugiI see! So this day is like a huge traffic jam at 12 taps, with all kinds of tasty beers gathering from everywhere!
Hop BroExactly. On the domestic side you've got Open Air's Good Times, Shiga Kogen's Fresh Hop Grisette, Setouchi's Cherry & Strawberry, Forest's Bonfire Dunkel, and Heartland, and the overseas lineup is full of distinctive beers.
MugiWhoa, just the names are fun! Cherry & Strawberry is basically dessert territory!
Hop BroWhat's more, it's on the 5th floor near Shimokitazawa Station, opens at 6 p.m., and on Fridays stays open until 4 a.m. It's a very convenient beer pub that works both for starting the night and for a late-night reset.
MugiSeriously? It's perfect! It's easy to drink alone, but it even has darts? That's too unfair. I'd end up staying way too long!
Hop BroAnd they also have house-made sausages and beef tendon stewed in beer, so there are too many reasons to drink. The move today is clearly to start with one Double Hazy Jane, then hop around the draft list.
MugiGot it, the whole path to wanting a drink is perfect! Let's detour through Shimokitazawa for something hazy and have one ourselves!
In a Friday, April 24 post, Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa introduced today's draft beer lineup. Along with the convenience of opening at 6 p.m. and staying open until 4 a.m. on Fridays, the shop added BrewDog's 'Double Hazy Jane' as a new tap that day. It is described as a 'more, more' version of the standard 'Hazy Jane,' making it a must-see for anyone looking for a hefty hazy IPA.
The day's draft beers included, from Japan, Open Air's 'Good Times,' Shiga Kogen's 'Fresh Hop Grisette,' Setouchi's 'Cherry & Strawberry,' Forest's 'Bonfire Dunkel,' and the regular 'Heartland.' The overseas lineup featured Burnt Mill's 'Crimson Highway,' Threes's 'Between the Lines,' DDC!'s 'Don de Lucan,' Silver City's 'Heffaweizen,' and Thornbridge's 'Double Green Mountain.'
The beer pub is on the 5th floor near Shimokitazawa Station, and pairs its 12 taps of craft beer with bottled beers, house-made sausages, and beef tendon stewed in beer. It is easy to drop by for a solo drink at the counter, and the table seating makes it easy to stay awhile with darts. The printer was malfunctioning so the menu still hadn't been posted, but today's taps were clearly confirmed in the post. It's a spot that can handle anything from a casual first drink to a late-night second round.
