And Beer in Koenji announces house beer “sumomomo” made with Yamanashi plums for August 1
The Koenji brewpub And Beer shared its August 1 schedule and highlighted “sumomomo,” a house beer made with plums from Yamanashi. The day’s lineup pairs craft beer with biryani, curry, and other spice-forward dishes.
Hop BroI've got AND BEER on my mind today. On August 1, they're pouring their house-made plum beer "sumomomo," and the brewpub is open straight through from 11:30 to 22:00.
MugiWait, Yamanashi plums in beer!? The name "sumomomo" is so cute, but if I say it three times fast my tongue is filing a complaint!
Hop BroIt's basically a fruit beer style, with aroma, tartness, and sweetness in good balance. Sounds like the plum character really gets to be the star.
MugiWhoa, but acid attack? What is that? I thought the beer had suddenly entered a combat sport!
Hop Bro"Attack" just means the first impression on your palate. You get a bright, tangy pop up front, then the sweetness and aroma catch up right after.
MugiOkay, so it's a beer with a great self-intro. First the plum goes, "Hello!" and then it adds, "Also, I'm secretly very gentle."
Hop BroAnd AND BEER is strong at the biryani and curry combo. At night they've got mirin lees chicken wing biryani, summer chilled meals, Japanese dashi chicken curry, and lamb keema paneer.
MugiHold on, there's even summer chilled meals!? My stomach just stood up and asked where the venue is!
Hop BroThe schedule is convenient too: 11:30-22:00 nonstop for the pub, and takeout runs 10:00-22:00. You can pick up at the shop or use Uber Eats.
MugiAnd with Uber Eats too, they're ridiculously strong on lazy-day planning... they're even taking away my excuse to stay home!
Hop BroPlus the terrace is pet-friendly too for dogs and cats, and reservations work by phone, official LINE, or at the shop. I can already picture a slow afternoon of beer and spiced food in Koenji Kita.
MugiThat's it, I'm starting with one sumomomo and going all the way to biryani! And don't even try to hide it, Hop Bro, you want a glass just as badly as I do!
