Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa in Tokyo has announced its September 1 tap list. The lineup features 11 beers, including Japanese breweries such as Y.MARKET Brewing, Repubrew, and Shiga Kogen Beer, alongside notable international selections.
Hop BroBeer Bar Festa in Shimokitazawa is pouring 11 draft beers on September 1. That is a wonderfully difficult tap list to choose from.
MugiWhat? Eleven beers to choose from? I could spend all night just reading the menu!
Hop BroThe new tappings include Y.MARKET Brewing’s “Egifu!!,” plus Repubrew’s Blackjack IPA and “Kanpai Hazy.”
MugiHazy? What is that? How is it different from IPA? Is the beer wearing fog?
Hop BroClose enough! Hazy IPA is usually cloudy, with juicy fruit-like aromas and a softer mouthfeel. In short, it makes hops taste extra juicy.
MugiOh, nice! So putting an IPA beside a hazy IPA makes a hop comparison flight. I suddenly feel like a beer scientist!
Hop BroShiga Kogen Beer also brings “Shiga Kogen IPA ver2.03 Center of Universe” in both regular and real ale versions. That is the geeky highlight.
MugiTwo versions with the same name? Real ale does not mean an actor is serving it, right?
Hop BroNo casting budget needed. Real ale is served with gentler carbonation, so you can linger over its aroma and texture. The aroma opens differently from the regular version.
MugiAnd there’s Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Revision DIPA, and Dieu du Ciel!’s Moralité. I also want the nearly gone West Coast Pilsner!
Hop BroHOJO Brewing & Stays’ stout is also running low. A Heartland can reset the palate, and the house sausage or beer-braised beef tendon would be perfect alongside.
MugiDone! Let’s head over from Shimokitazawa Station and have a pint before darts. Festa on September 1—I want that tasting flight!

Three beers are listed as new pours: Y.MARKET Brewing’s “Egifu!!,” Repubrew’s “Black Jack IPA,” and “Canpai Hazy.” Together, they offer a chance to compare hop-forward IPA and hazy IPA profiles.
Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Shiga Kogen IPA ver2.03 Center of the Universe” appears in both its standard presentation and a real ale version. The lower-carbonation real ale format can highlight differences in aroma, texture, and overall mouthfeel between the two pours.
The international selections cover several styles. Sierra Nevada’s pale ale provides a classic American reference point, while Revision Brewing Company’s DIPA brings a stronger double-IPA profile. Dieu du Ciel!’s “Moralité” adds another distinctive overseas option. HOJO Brewing & Stays’ stout and T.Y. HARBOR Brewery’s West Coast Pilsner were noted as running low.
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa is located on the fifth floor of Daishin Building in Kitazawa, Setagaya. The pub offers rotating 12-tap selections, bottled beers, house-made sausages, and beef tendon stewed with beer.
