At Ben's Slop Shop, a craft beer specialty shop in Kichijoji, Tokyo, a "PhatQ Special Food Pop Up" will be held from Saturday, April 18 through Sunday, April 19 to mark the shop's 5th anniversary party. Food will be served on Saturday, April 18, and pairing with the anniversary beer "Full Up" is also being suggested.
Hop BroBen's Slop Shop in Kichijoji is throwing a 5th anniversary party. It's happening on April 18 and 19, and the food on the first day, the 18th, is a pretty hot topic too.
MugiWhoa! A brewery anniversary with a food event too? That sounds so fun! And it's in Kichijoji, so it's the kind of place you'd want to stop by while out for a walk!
Hop BroThis time, PhatQ, well known in Tokyo's BBQ scene, is coming in to serve PhatQ Special Food. They're masters of American smoked BBQ, and brisket and ribs are usually the stars.
MugiBrisket? What even is that! I know it's a cut of meat, but brisket sounds way too powerful out of nowhere!
Hop BroIt's beef from the chest. When it's cooked slowly over a long time, the fat and fibers loosen up and it becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender. Add smoky aroma on top of that, and beer just keeps going down.
MugiSo it's basically hitting you with aroma first! And this time they're using homemade pita bread and doing a kebab-style twist, so honestly, just eating it by hand already feels like a win!
Hop BroThe menu has two items: Smoked Brisket Pita Sandwich and Smoked Chicken Pita Sandwich. The smoky meat is wrapped up in pita, so it's the perfect size for a beer bar.
MugiChicken too, nice! Whether you're in the mood for something hearty or a little lighter, having two options is actually really thoughtful.
Hop BroAnd the beer to go with it is Full Up, the anniversary beer brewed at Novel Craft Brewing. You can picture it clearly: sipping a pint while letting the smoky BBQ sandwich do its thing.
MugiBen's Slop Shop is a place where craft beer fans gather, right? Bringing in PhatQ, who's been with them for a long time, for the anniversary really shows how strong their connections are.
Hop BroAnd the food is only on Saturday the 18th, so if you're aiming for it, that's the only day. I want to eat this Saturday-only feast and finish with a toast of Full Up.
MugiYeah, I want to go! The combination of BBQ and anniversary beer makes my mouth water just reading it, and now I want a drink in Kichijoji right away!
