P-144 x Citraba in Ikebukuro serves six draft beers for anniversary day 2
Ikebukuro beer pub P-144 x Citraba shared its tap lineup on Instagram. For the second day of its anniversary event, the venue listed six drafts, including collaboration beers from NAMACHA Brewing and NOMCRAFT Brewing, alongside selections from VERTERE, 8bit Brewing Company, Revo Brewing, and DD4D Brewing.
Hop BroP-144×Citraba in Ikebukuro rolled out six beers on tap for day two of its anniversary event, and that lineup alone makes me want to grab a seat.
MugiWhat! Day two of the anniversary already sounds fun, and now I have to choose from six pours too?
Hop BroAnd the stars are two collab beers: "IKE IKE 1st Squad" with NAMACHAん Brewing is a 4.5% Fruit Ale, and "UP!UP!!" with NOMCRAFT Brewing is a 4.5% Session IPA.
MugiWow, but when you say Session IPA, I feel like beer class just started and I forgot my notebook!
Hop BroIt sounds harder than it is. Think easygoing IPA: plenty of hop aroma, but only 4.5% ABV, so it drinks nice and smooth.
MugiThat helps! Then "IKE IKE 1st Squad" as a 4.5% Fruit Ale sounds super friendly for a first glass.
Hop BroThen you get VERTERE's "Lupulus" as an American Pale Ale, 8bit Brewing Company's "The Hop Exchange" as a DDH NZ IPA, and Revo Brewing's "NUVO RED IPA" too, so the range is wild.
MugiHold on, DDH NZ IPA sounds like a spell. If I say it three times, do extra hops appear?
Hop BroBasically, yeah. DDH means lots of hop aroma, and NZ means New Zealand hops, so it's pretty much full Southern Hemisphere hops packed into one bright IPA.
MugiAnd DD4D Brewing's "NO BEER / Shiophi-chan Ver." being a Ginger Lemon WC IPA already sounds crisp, loud, and kind of amazing.
Hop BroExactly. A WC IPA usually brings clean bitter snap, and with ginger and lemon it should be great with Citraba chicken; add ten lemon sours and fresh pasta, and that's a full stay.
MugiNo more talking, it's straight to Ikebukuro for me! UP!UP!! first, NO BEER next, then chicken, and I am absolutely doing a proper tap-by-tap comparison!
