FALO Brewing's 'falo IPA' and Pirono Beer 'Kokoro (Weizen)' Appear at TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa
An Instagram post from TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa announced FALO Brewing's 'falo IPA' and Pirono Beer's 'Kokoro (Weizen)' as guest beers. The shop, a beer-by-the-weight specialty store just a 3-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station, offers 19 draft taps and more than 40 bottled beers.
Hop BroThere's an interesting guest beer lineup in Shimokitazawa, and TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa's two guest beers are getting attention.
MugiWhoa! Just being close to Shimokitazawa Station is already strong, and it's a beer-by-the-weight specialty shop?
Hop BroExactly. It's three minutes on foot from the station, and you can fill growlers at the counter and drink inside in a two-in-one style.
MugiThat's so convenient! And with 19 taps of draft beer, I'd probably get happily lost before I even choose!
Hop BroOne of today's stars is FALO Brewing's falo IPA. It's an IPA with a strong bitterness and a nice balance of hops.
MugiWhen you say hop balance, it suddenly sounds like a chemistry experiment! But if it's an easy first beer, it sounds drinkable!
Hop BroRight. The bitterness doesn't dominate too much, and it has aroma and cohesion, so it's perfect as an entry point. And the other one is Pirono Beer's Kokoro (Weizen).
MugiWeizen! Just the name sounds soft and gentle! But what does yeast-derived aroma taste like?
Hop BroOften you get banana-like or clove-like notes. And the clear color is beautiful, and it's perfect for resetting your palate.
MugiI see, go in with IPA and reset with Weizen! And if bringing in food is free, then your snack strategy is totally open!
Hop BroExactly. They don't serve food, but the freedom is high, so it's fun to choose slowly, including the 40-plus bottled beers.
MugiIf they even have T&G long-sleeve T-shirts, I'm basically a regular now! Today I want to start with falo IPA!
Hop BroNice. I can't leave out Kokoro (Weizen) either. If you compare draft beers in Shimokitazawa, you'll be happy all the way home.
TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa is a craft beer growler-fill specialty shop, just a 3-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station. In addition to growler filling at the counter, the indoor space can also be used as a kakuuchi-style beer bar. With 19 taps that change daily, mainly featuring Japanese beers, plus more than 40 bottled beers, mostly from overseas, it is a place with a wide range of beer options.
In an Instagram post on April 9, two guest beers were introduced as that day's lineup. One was FALO Brewing's 'falo IPA'. The post described it as an IPA with solid bitterness and a well-balanced hop profile, making it an easy choice for the first drink. The other was Pirono Beer's 'Kokoro (Weizen)', introduced as a Weizen notable for its yeast-derived aroma and clear color.
That day's post also mentioned the sale of T&G long-sleeve T-shirts while encouraging visitors to stop by and enjoy the beers on offer. Since the shop does not serve food and allows outside food, it is easy to start with a draft IPA and then cleanse your palate with a Weizen. Making full use of the shop's defining features, "beer-by-the-weight" sales and "kakuuchi" drinking, it is a good place for a day when you want to take your time and appreciate the character of guest beers.
