Y.Market Brewing's Purple Sky Pale Ale Tapped at vivo! BEER + DINING BAR
vivo! BEER + DINING BAR in Ikebukuro has tapped Y.Market Brewing's Purple Sky Pale Ale. The American pale ale is joined by a rainy-day campaign running through July 16, making it an easy stop for beer fans in the area.
Hop BroThere’s a tap update worth tracking in Ikebukuro: vivo!'s new guest tap is Y.Market Brewing's "Purple Sky Pale Ale."
MugiWhat, Purple Sky Pale Ale already sounds like a beer you drink while staring at the clouds! What’s it like?
Hop BroIt’s an American pale ale, with Citra hops on the nose and a light, easy-drinking finish.
MugiHold on, Citra hops are what exactly? That sounds like a citrus superhero!
Hop BroHonestly, not far off. They give off grapefruit-like aromas, so the beer feels bright and refreshing without getting too bitter.
MugiWhoa, and vivo! has 20 beers on draft, right? I'd still be choosing when they lock the doors!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The place has a wide tap lineup, from the vivo! x CYCAD collabs to hazy IPA, double IPA, pils, and stout.
MugiWait, they also have a rainy-day promo? It’s underground and still somehow competing with the weather!
Hop BroYep, on rainy Mondays through Thursdays they run the rainy-season triangle lottery, and it’s on through July 16.
MugiAnd if you spend 2,400 yen or more, you get a discount ticket for next time? That’s dangerously convincing.
Hop BroThe food list is strong too: house-made duck ham, salmon rillette, and sherry stew, so Purple Sky with food sounds ridiculously good.
MugiThat settles it. Let’s do a Purple Sky toast, pull the lottery, and go all-in on snacks!
vivo! BEER + DINING BAR, a basement craft-beer pub in Ikebukuro with 20 draft lines, has tapped Y.Market Brewing's Purple Sky Pale Ale. The beer is described as an American pale ale with a bright Citra hop aroma, so it should land as a crisp, hop-forward pint.
The bar is also running a rainy-season promotion: on Mondays through Thursdays, until July 16, guests who spend at least 2,400 yen per person can draw a prize ticket that can be used on a future visit. It is a simple campaign, but a practical one for a rainy-day beer stop.
The draft lineup on this day is broad. Alongside collaboration beers from `vivo!×CYCAD BREWING` and a `鬼伝説` pale ale, the taps include offerings from `Inkhorn Brewing`, `Be Easy Brewing`, `志賀高原ビール`, `門司港レトロビール`, `U.B.P Brewery`, `KaruizawaQ`, `うしとらブルワリー`, `デビルクラフト`, `Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel!`, `箕面ビール`, `TOKYO ALE WORKS`, `セントジェームス・ゲート`, and `キリンビール`. Styles range from pale ale and English golden ale to IPA, hazy IPA, double IPA, pilsner, weissbier, witbier, saison, fruit ale, sour ale, stout, Guinness, and classic lager.
The food menu supports that range well, with house-cured duck ham, salmon rillettes, cold omelet, and sherry-braised pork shoulder among the seasonals. It is the kind of place where you can start with a bright pale ale and keep moving deeper into the lineup with food along the way.
