Inkhorn Brewing's Aracari is tapped at vivo! BEER + DININGBAR in Ikebukuro
vivo! BEER + DININGBAR, a craft-beer pub in Ikebukuro, has tapped Inkhorn Brewing's Hazy Double IPA Aracari. The beer is described as having a firm body and hop-driven fruitiness, with flavors reminiscent of mango pudding.
Hop BroDown in the basement by Ikebukuro East Exit, vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR just put Inkhorn Brewing's 'Aracari' on tap, and it's freshly tapped.
MugiWait, what? 'Tastes like mango pudding' and we're still talking about an actual beer?!
Hop BroYep, Aracari is a hazy double IPA with a solid body and fruity hop character layered on top.
MugiWhoa, hold on. That hazy double IPA thing sounded like a spell and I lost the plot.
Hop BroHazy means cloudy and juicy, and double IPA means more malt and hops with extra heft, so think richer tropical vibes and you're close.
MugiWhat is that! So it looks like dessert but drinks like a tropical heavyweight?
Hop BroThe draft list has 20 beers that day, from Inkhorn's 'Buncho 2026#3' to Y.Market's 'Mata Ashita Hazy IPA', so it's basically a hop wonderland.
MugiOkay, but if they also have Heartland and Old Rasputin, that's a huge range. Easy place to bring friends!
Hop BroAnd the food lineup is strong too. Rosemary pork rillette and chilled omelet make it a beer-and-food spot for sure.
MugiSo what should I pair with Aracari? Give me the pro pairing call.
Hop BroI'd go with the spicy hamburger or the shirasu-and-tomato aglio e olio. They open at 3 p.m. on Saturdays, and now I want an early pint.
MugiThat's it, I'm done. I need to run to Ikebukuro and check that mango-pudding finish for myself!
