Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa opens 6 domestic and 6 overseas beers on tap for 5/12
Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa has published its tap lineup for Monday, May 12. Adding the regular beer Heartland to 6 domestic and 6 overseas selections, the venue in Shimokitazawa offers a broad range of styles. The photos also show newly arrived West Coast Brewing cans.
Hop BroToday’s 6 domestic and 6 overseas beers lineup at Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa is hot. It’s near Shimokitazawa Station, and with Heartland in the mix, it’s a setup that makes side-by-side tasting easy.
MugiWhat? A 12-tap traffic jam? With that many, I’d probably get drunk before I can even choose!
Hop BroExactly. The domestic beers are interesting because the flavor directions are all over the map, like Repubrew’s Ageage Same Age, Hansharo Beer’s Coco Farm & Winery White, and Setouchi’s Cherry & Strawberry Sour.
MugiWhat is that? Sour, white, and stuff like that? I have no idea what any of that means from the names alone!
Hop BroBroadly speaking, sour means a bright, tart style, and white is a lighter style inspired by white wine. They also have Derailleur’s Night Rider Route 26 and Y Market’s Be With You, so the lineup is easy to pair with food.
MugiWhoa, the overseas lineup is strong too. Thornbridge’s Jaipur IPA sounds intense just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. IPA is all about hop aroma and bitterness, and Jaipur IPA is one of the classics. Add BrewDog’s Double Hazy Jane, Hetty Alice’s Island Time IPA, and Burnt Mill’s Crimson Highway, and the aroma profiles are really varied.
MugiWhat’s double about Double Hazy? Does it mean extra cloudy and rich?
Hop BroPretty much. Hazy means a cloudy, juicy mouthfeel, and double means more alcohol and body, so it drinks with more heft. And the photos also show West Coast Brewing’s `Double Punch`, `No Ketchup`, and `Piñata Pale Ale`, so Festa is clearly going bold even with cans.
MugiI can’t take it anymore, I want to taste my way through Shimokitazawa! If I try domestic and overseas beers while playing darts, it’ll be an absolute blast!
