SiltaBa in Koenji Taps Izu no Kuni Beer’s “Premium Pilsner” and FLORA FERMENTATION’s “Raven”
At Koenji’s craft beer pub SiltaBa, two new guest beers have been added to the taps: Izu no Kuni Beer’s “Premium Pilsner” and FLORA FERMENTATION’s “Raven.” From April 24 to 26, the Spring Bikkuri Market will also be held on Koenji Junjo Shopping Street.
Hop BroNew taps at SiltaBa in Koenji today, and the guest lineup is pretty interesting. Izu no Kuni Beer’s “Premium Pilsner” and FLORA FERMENTATION’s “Raven” have been put on tap.
MugiWhoa! Two beers tapped at once? And just from the names, one sounds gentle and the other has a strong vibe!
Hop BroExactly. First up is Premium Pilsner. It has a nice balance of fruitiness and malt character, plus the crispness you expect from a pilsner.
MugiPilsner always gives me a light impression, but it also has a strong malt flavor? Wait, which is it supposed to be!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. It has a straightforward mouthfeel, so it’s easy to drink, but the aroma clearly has fruit and malt notes, making it approachable even for people who aren’t used to craft beer.
MugiOhh! Then it sounds perfect for a first drink! So the other one, Raven, is the opposite kind?
Hop BroYeah, Raven is a West Coast IPA. It uses plenty of American hops, so you get lime-like and fresh-grass-like aromas, plus firm bitterness.
MugiFresh grass!? That’s not even a beer description anymore, it’s a whole meadow scene! But I’m curious about the part where it says it’s smooth, not just bitter!
Hop BroRight, the finish is dry, and the more you drink it, the more the refreshing quality comes through. The IPA character is really sharp, so hop lovers will probably love it.
MugiI see, so today you can choose between a gentle glass and an aggressive one! SiltaBa sounds like the kind of place where you can have a totally different experience depending on your mood!
Hop BroAnd from April 24 to 26, the Spring Bikkuri Market will also be held on Koenji Junjo Shopping Street, so stopping by while walking around the neighborhood is great too. It’ll probably be busy on the weekend, so a phone reservation is safer if you’re going.
MugiNice, I want to enjoy both the shopping street and the beer together! I’m going to check out the day’s taps, and I’ll start with the pilsner, while Hop-nii will go for the Raven, right!
Hop BroSounds good. A tasting comparison is the right call in the end. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to find the one glass that fits your mood while eating in Koenji.
MugiIt’s settled! I can’t stop this feeling of wanting a drink right now!
At Koenji beer pub “Craft Beer Sakaba SiltaBa,” a new guest beer tapping was announced. In the post, Izu no Kuni Beer Premium Pilsner and FLORA FERMENTATION Raven were newly put on tap.
Premium Pilsner is characterized by subtle fruitiness and a solid malt flavor. Its aroma also carries fruity and malty notes, and it is introduced as an easy-drinking beer with a straightforward mouthfeel that even people who are not used to drinking craft beer can enjoy. It is a pilsner with the crispness you expect from the style, along with gentle fruitiness and a substantial malt depth.
Raven, on the other hand, is a West Coast IPA brewed generously with American hops. Lime- and fresh-grass-like aromas layer over firm bitterness and a smooth mouthfeel. The finish is dry, and the more you drink it, the more its refreshing quality comes forward.
SiltaBa is a beer pub located on Koenji Junjo Shopping Street, known for serving rotating draft craft beers every day. At bars where the taps change quickly, guest beers like these add to the fun of choosing what to drink that day. This time, the lineup pairs a gentle, easygoing pilsner with a clearly hop-driven IPA, making it easy to pick according to your mood.
