Hop BroAt Citraba in north Koenji, there's a one-day-only event on May 30. The collaboration draft from Beer Girls and Hansharo Beer will be tapped early, and that's a pretty exciting story.
MugiReally? Is that the new beer called Kyō mo Manten? The name already sounds cute, and it makes me feel full before I even drink it!
Hop BroExactly. The style is a HAZY IPA with passion fruit at the center. The bright hop aroma is joined by a cloudy, juicy character, so the mouthfeel is soft and rich.
MugiOh! But why is a HAZY IPA cloudy? It already looks stylish from the outside, and it feels like a different world from the beer I know!
Hop BroBasically, a cloudy IPA keeps a bit more of the malt and hop components, which strengthens the fruity aroma and mouthfeel. With passion fruit taking the lead this time, the tropical character really comes forward even more.
MugiI see! And the staff from Hansharo Beer will be there too, right? Being able to drink while hearing from the people who made it sounds like such a treat for beer lovers!
Hop BroThat's right. And Citraba Koenji's strength is that up to 30 taps line the bar, changing day by day. It's a place where it's fun not only to try the limited draft, but also to compare it with the regular lineup.
MugiWow, that many!? Then on event day it's like a little gamble before you even enter, wondering what is on tap today! That makes me want to keep going back!
Hop BroAnd it's only a three-minute walk from the station, so it's easy to drop by on a whim. With both counter and table seating, it's typical of Citraba in how easy it is to use, whether you're drinking alone or with friends.
MugiAll right, I'm already sold on a passion fruit pour! If I drink that while looking over the daily tap list in Koenji, I'll definitely feel completely full of joy!
Hop BroExactly, this is the kind of moment where you just want to drink right now. On May 30, let's head to Koenji and savor the limited draft one glass at a time.
Early Release of the Collaboration Draft in Koenji
At Craft Beer Sakaba Citraba Koenji in north Koenji, a collaboration beer event by the web magazine Beer Girls and Hansharo Beer, a brewery in Izunokuni, Shizuoka Prefecture, will be held on Saturday, May 30.

Centered on passion fruit, it is a HAZY IPA that combines a bright hop aroma with a juicy drinking experience, and it has an alcohol content of 5.5%.
The event is scheduled to run from 13:00 to 23:00, and visitors will be able to enjoy the brand-new collaboration beer on draft before anyone else.

What Makes the Venue Attractive
Citraba Koenji is a three-minute walk from the North Exit of JR Koenji Station. With counter seats and table seating, it is an easy-to-use beer pub for solo drinking, dates, and group outings alike. One of the shop's signatures is its beer taps, which can number up to 30. Because the lineup changes daily, it's a place worth returning to even on non-event days to see what is on tap today.
In addition to craft beer, the shop also offers craft lemon sours and its signature Citraba Chicken. Beer is the main focus, but the place is also designed for lingering over food and drinks.
