Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa Newly Taps Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver.”
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa in Shimokitazawa updated its tap list on May 30 and newly tapped Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver.” With a lineup of Japanese and international craft beers, plus darts to enjoy, it is very much the kind of place you can easily drop into late at night.
Hop BroAt Festa in Shimokitazawa, Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver. has been newly tapped. It’s the kind of beer that really lets the aroma bloom from the very first sip, just like Shiga Kogen Beer.
MugiHuh? Is Silver Label ver. really that different? If it’s just a different color, it sounds like a pretty stylish outfit change!
Hop BroIt really is different. Compared with the earlier version served until recently, the impression can change quite a bit. This one emphasizes its fragrant aroma and dry finish, putting the pleasure of an IPA front and center.
MugiDry means not too sweet, right? A beer with a crisp edge sounds like it has a split personality!
Hop BroPretty much. The finish drops away cleanly, so after enjoying the hop aroma, your mouth never feels heavy. That’s why it keeps you reaching for the next sip.
MugiWow! And today the Japanese and overseas taps are both packed, right? I’m curious what’s on the lineup!
Hop BroThe Japanese side includes Derailler Brewing’s “Anonymous Brewholic Revolution,” Yokohama Beer’s “Seya Wheat Beer,” Repubrew’s session-style hazy IPA, plus beers from Hansharo Beer, Beer Hearn, and all the way to Setouchi.
MugiWow, there’s even Cherry & Strawberry? With a lineup like that, my brain is already toasting!
Hop BroThe overseas beers include Threes Brewing, De Dulle Cieyl, and Threes, so it’s a lineup that makes tasting side by side a lot of fun. The nice thing is being able to move back and forth between Japanese and overseas beers.
MugiAnd it’s on the fifth floor of a building near Shimokitazawa Station, with darts too? That’s unfair! It’s the kind of place where you drink beer, throw darts, then drink again!
Hop BroExactly. Since Saturday nights run until 4, being out late is totally fine too. And with the 9th anniversary coming up on June 9, they’ll also have an anniversary party and an anniversary beer unveiling on June 7. Hearing that makes me want a pint too.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! I can’t wait for the anniversary beer unveiling either, so let’s start with one drink, no, two, today!
Tap List for May 30
At Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa, Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver.” was newly tapped as of the start of business on Saturday, May 30. It is a different version from the Snow Monkey served until recently, and it is being promoted for its bright aroma and dry finish.

The shop is on the fifth floor of a building near Shimokitazawa Station, and one of its features is that you can enjoy darts alongside craft beer.

It also announced that the shop will celebrate its 9th anniversary on June 9, with an anniversary party and the unveiling of the anniversary beer on June 7, plus an announcement for an anniversary trio tournament on June 21.
It is a Shimokitazawa-style beer pub that suits both a casual stop for just one drink and a longer stay paired with darts.
