Hop BroShimokitazawa's Beer Bar Festa has unveiled its draft lineup for May 14. With 7 domestic beers, 4 overseas beers, and even Heartland as the regular, it's a pretty aggressive tap list, right?
MugiWait, wait, 11 or more draft beers!? With that many, it's nice, but it's the kind of thing that makes it hard to choose!
Hop BroThe domestic lineup is especially interesting. There's Shiga Kogen's Snow Monkey IPA, Riapubrew's Ageage Same Age, Hansharo Beer's White, and Setouchi's Cherry & Strawberry Sour, so the range is wide.
MugiHold on, a sour is the tart kind, right? And cherry and strawberry? That's like dessert even though it's beer!?
Hop BroExactly. It's a style that brings out fruit acidity, so it's more likely to have a crisp finish than sweetness. On top of that, some labels have that IPA hop character - meaning the bitterness and aroma really stand out - so the lineup is great for side-by-side tasting.
MugiWhat, hop character can differ that much!? I get excited just from a fragrance wafting over, and now I can even play with the bitterness? That's unfair!
Hop BroThe overseas picks aren't slacking either. Thornbridge's Jaipur IPA, Due du Ciel, Srees, and Burnt Mill are all there, so you can bounce back and forth between domestic and overseas.
MugiWow! And having Heartland on tap all the time gives you that feeling of being able to order your first glass with confidence. Like a place you can come back to even if you get lost!
Hop BroAnd they've got large bottles for bigger groups too, and on weekdays you can enjoy it until 1 a.m. last call. The all-you-can-throw darts and the Beer Lovers' Club mean it doesn't end with just drinking, which feels very Festa.
MugiWhat, beer and darts at the same time!? I don't think I'd even hit the board once once I start getting tipsy, but it still sounds way too fun!
Hop BroWhat makes this place strong is that, with Shimokitazawa's easygoing feel, you can try the beers that catch your eye little by little. Start with an IPA, then a sour, and finish with Heartland - that's a pretty great flow.
MugiYeah, now I really want a drink! I want to compare beers in Shimokitazawa while enjoying darts, snacks, everything!
