Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa opens with Y.Market’s “Egif!!” and 10 other taps
Beerbar Festa in Shimokitazawa shared its tap list for Sunday, August 30. The lineup spans Japanese and imported beers, with new pours including Y.Market’s “Egif!!” and Repubrew’s “Black Jack IPA.”
Hop BroShimokitazawa is dangerous tonight. Beer Bar Festa just tapped Y.Market’s new Egifu!!.
MugiWhat! The August 30 list has 11 beers on tap? That’s not a lineup, that’s a festival.
Hop BroAnd the domestic side is stacked. Y.Market, Repubrew’s Black Jack IPA and Campai Hazy, plus Shiga Kogen make a serious local roster.
MugiWait, what? Black Jack IPA sounds intense, but Campai Hazy sounds like it wants to party.
Hop BroPretty much. Hazy means a cloudy IPA with juicy aroma and softer bitterness, so it’s an easy way in.
MugiOkay, nice! But Shiga Kogen IPA ver2.03 with a real ale version? That sounds like a spell.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Real ale usually gives you a softer carbonation feel, so the same IPA can taste rounder and more layered.
MugiThat rules. One beer, two expressions, instant comparison starting point! And they’ve got stout and pilsner too, right?
Hop BroYep. Houjou Stout, T.Y. Harbor’s Kampai West Coast Pilsner, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Revision DIPA, even DDC! Moralite, so you can bounce between Japan and overseas all night.
MugiI’m already losing the first-pint debate. If some are running low, this is a 6 p.m. sprint and I want to head for Shimokitazawa now.

The new taps are Y.Market and Repubrew, giving the board a wide range of styles, from IPA and hazy beer to pilsner and stout. Shiga Kogen’s familiar series sits alongside classics like Sierra Nevada and Revision, so the list invites easy style comparison. Several beers were marked as running low, so serious tap-list hunters may want to move sooner rather than later.
The bar is on the 5th floor of the Dai-shin Building near Shimokitazawa Station, making it a convenient stop for both a first pint and a longer night out.
