And Beer Koenji highlights house fruit ale "sumomomo" for July 29 service
And Beer Koenji Taproom shared its July 29 (Wed) service notice, including opening hours, takeaway details, and its house fruit ale sumomomo, described as an easy-drinking option for hot weather.
Hop BroI want to talk about And Beer Koenji today. On July 29 they are open 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and SUMOMOMO just joined the taps.
MugiWhat! That name SUMOMOMO sounds like a peach spell. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt is a house-brewed beer from And Beer, and the style is a fruit ale. Tart, easy to drink, and exactly the kind of thing you want on a hot day.
MugiWhoa! But fruit ale makes my brain split in half. Is it beer-beer, or sneaky juice-beer?
Hop BroHere comes the nerdy part: it feels like a light-body build. That helps the acidity stay clean and lets the fruit character stand out.
MugiHold on, light-body build? Did we just enter a brewing strategy meeting? What does that actually mean?
Hop BroPut simply, it does not land heavy on your palate, and the plum-like fruit note shows up first. So basically it is made for hot weather.
MugiOkay, I get it! And takeout runs 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with bottles, PET bottles, plastic cups, and more. That is absurdly flexible!
Hop BroThey even fill growlers, which means flexible takeout options all around. It really feels like the kind of brewpub And Beer has been building in Koenji since 2017.
MugiAnd they serve spicy food, lunch, curry, even biryani too? SUMOMOMO with curry sounds like a very dangerous level of temptation.
Hop BroThey were also brewing anniversary beer at the Katsunuma facility the day before, with three releases in early September coming up. That is a strong teaser for what is next.
MugiThen it is settled. I want one SUMOMOMO first, and after that I am officially starting my countdown to September.
July 29 service notice
And Beer Koenji Taproom shared its July 29 (Wed) service notice. The taproom runs continuously from 11:30 to 22:00, while beer takeaway is available from 9:30 to 22:00. Bottles, PET bottles, plastic cups, and growlers are all accepted.
The beer highlighted in the post is the newly connected fruit ale "sumomomo." It also appears in And Beer’s official lineup, and the post describes it as pleasantly acidic and especially suited to a hot day. The fruit-forward profile makes it an easy match for summer drinking at the taproom.
And Beer is a brewpub that began in Koenji in 2017, and food is built around spicy original dishes designed to pair with house-brewed beer. On this day, lunch, curry, biryani, and soft drinks are all part of the offering. The post also notes that the brewery spent the previous day brewing anniversary beer in Katsunuma, with three anniversary beers planned for release in the first week of September. It reads like a snapshot of a brewpub balancing everyday service and the next seasonal release.
