Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa taps Hazama × Yorocco Beer 'Compass'
Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa has added a new tap, Hazama × Yorocco Beer 'Compass.' The plum fruit saison joins a lineup that spans Japanese and imported craft beers on the pub's multi-tap system.
Hop BroShimokitazawa just got an interesting new pour: at Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa, Compass by Hakomen x Yorocco has gone on tap.
MugiWhat! A beer called Compass already sounds like I’m about to go on an adventure!
Hop BroIt’s a fruit saison with plum, so it’s got a light tartness and bright aroma that really fits a hot day.
MugiWhoa, okay, but what is saison? I just walked straight into the forest of beer jargon!
Hop BroIt’s a farmhouse-style beer, and the aroma from saison yeast gives it that fresh, expressive character. In plain terms, it’s easy-drinking but still interesting.
MugiNo way, the yeast is doing too much! Add plum on top of that and now the fruit club and fermentation club are doing a joint concert!
Hop BroThat teamwork is exactly the point. Festa also has strong domestic and import taps, from Shonan Beer IPA American Style and Hojo Stout to Revision DIPA.
MugiThat’s wild, the range on those taps is huge! If they’ve got everything from crisp to heavy, my one-drink plan is already gone!
Hop BroAnd it’s near Shimokitazawa Station on the 5th floor of Daishin Building, opens at 6 p.m., and in August it runs until 4 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.
MugiThat settles it! I want to start with plum-filled Compass for the first toast, then let the tap list take me on a full world tour!
Hop BroI can already picture the first sip. We start with the perfect hot-day pour that is Compass, and then let the Shimokitazawa night do the rest.
Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa, a craft-beer pub on the fifth floor of the Daisin Building near Shimokitazawa Station, posted a tap update for August 8. The new pour is Hazama × Yorocco Beer 'Compass,' a fruit saison brewed with plum and presented as a good match for hot weather.
The domestic lineup for the day includes Shonan Beer 'Shonan Beer IPA American Style,' Hojo 'Stout,' Yokohama Beer 'Weizen,' Setouchi 'Dunkel,' T.Y. Harbor 'Kanpai West Coast Pilsner,' and the regular Heartland. Imported taps feature Revision 'Revision DIPA,' Du Du Ciel 'Moralite,' Division 'Disco Ninja IPA,' and DDC! 'Rosé Diviscus,' giving the bar a wide range from IPA to stout and lager styles.
Festa's appeal is its straightforward beer-bar format: multiple taps, a central Shimokitazawa location, and a roster that makes side-by-side comparisons easy. The post also notes that through the end of August, Thursday to Saturday service runs until the 4 o'clock slot, making it a late-night stop for drinkers moving through the tap list.
