Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa opens at 3 p.m. on Aug. 2 with six Japanese and four imported beers
Beerbar Festa in Shimokitazawa opens at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 2. Because of an area championship event, early seating is limited to tables only, with dart tables and counter seats becoming available again around 6 p.m.
Hop BroShimokitazawa’s Beer Bar Festa has a seriously tempting setup today. On August 2 it opens at 3 p.m., with six domestic and four imported beers ready from the afternoon.
MugiWhat! A 3 p.m. opening feels like the ultimate Sunday bonus. But can we get in normally that early?
Hop BroThere’s an area championship happening, so until around 6 p.m. it’s mainly table seating. Once the matches end, the darts seats and the counter open up too.
MugiNo way, it’s two minutes from the station and you can eat, drink craft beer, and play darts? That’s absurdly good weekend planning.
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too. The six domestic taps include Y.Market’s Jacaranda and Purple Jet Sky, Hojo Stout, Yokohama Weizen, Setouchi Dunkel, and T.Y. Harbor’s Kanpai West Coast Pilsner, plus Heartland as the regular beer.
MugiHold on, West Coast Pilsner sounds like weather, not beer. And Weizen and Dunkel? Are we casting spells now?!
Hop BroNot spells, just beer styles. Weizen and Dunkel mean softer wheat character or toastier malt depth, while a WC pilsner stays crisp but throws off a nice hop aroma.
MugiWhat is this, a perfect tasting flight? If it runs from bright and easy to dark and cozy, choosing by mood sounds way too fun.
Hop BroThe import side is loaded too. There are two new imported taps: Revision DIPA and Dieu du Ciel!’s Moralite, plus Division’s Disco Ninja IPA and DDC!’s Rose de Hibiscus.
MugiDIPA showed up again! What does hop-forward mean in normal-person language?
Hop BroThink of DIPA as a stronger IPA with extra hop presence. And with 12 rotating taps, you can build a great flow from a crisp Weizen to a heavy DIPA, while names like Sierra Nevada and COEDO wait in the wings. Last call is 11 p.m.
MugiThen it’s settled! At the after-6 p.m. counter, I’m starting with the Weizen and you’re absolutely starting with the DIPA.
