Hop BroThe beer pub vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Ikebukuro East Exit is holding its 16th anniversary event from April 22 to 26. What's more, it's pre-launching its commemorative beer 16, so it really has that centerpiece-of-the-anniversary-week feel.
MugiWait, a beer with a number for a name? 16 (sixteen) alone already sounds like celebration mode is fully on!
Hop BroAnd the original was brewed by CYCAD BREWING. The name pairs with the house beer 42 (forty two), and I love how they turn the milestone into a story.
MugiWhoa, though! The moment someone says malt character, it suddenly gets hard to follow! But hearing that it has orange-like notes does make it sound easy to drink!
Hop BroNo worries. To put it simply, it has a restrained malt character, so it isn't sweet or heavy. Instead, it comes through with a soft orange-like aroma, then finishes dry. Since it doesn't leave your mouth sticky, it's easy to move on to the next pint.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And during anniversary week, the rare beers are all lined up, right? Ushitora and Minoh alone are enough to get me hyped!
Hop BroExactly. From aromatic IPAs to rich stouts, the lineup covers a wide range, so tasting side by side is the fun part. Ushitora Brewery’s Miyashita Park IPA, Minoh Beer BATON 007, Left Hand Peanut Butter Milk Stout, and Oni Densetsu Kinki Pale Ale is a pretty bold lineup.
MugiWhat is that, my mouth can't even keep up! And the food is strong too? Pizza with homemade crispy dough is basically the kind of thing that calls for beer!
Hop BroExactly. They’ve got zucchini, oysters, shirasu, and pork tenderloin too, so they’ve also got beer-friendly meat dishes covered. Pairing the character of the taps with the food is one of this place’s strengths.
MugiAnd since they're closed on April 21, going on April 22 or later is the right move! This makes me want to go to Ikebukuro to drink well and eat well!
At the Ikebukuro East Exit beer pub "vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR," a 16th anniversary event will be held from `Wednesday, April 22` to `Sunday, April 26`. With 20 draft beers on tap, the anniversary week will center on beer and showcase the shop’s character clearly through its lineup.
The highlight is the original beer `16 (sixteen)`, brewed for them by `CYCAD BREWING`. Pre-launched on April 16, this beer balances a restrained malt character with orange-like notes and finishes dry. Its name also pairs with the shop’s house beer `42 (forty two)`, making it a symbol of the anniversary milestone.
During the anniversary event, in addition to the two original beers, rare beers from breweries the shop has long worked with will also be featured. For example, there will be a broad selection ranging from aromatic IPAs to rich stouts, including `Ushitora Brewery Miyashita Park IPA`, `Minoh Beer BATON 007`, `Left Hand Peanut Butter Milk Stout`, and `Oni Densetsu Kinki Pale Ale`. For craft beer fans, the appeal is in comparing the different flavor directions side by side.
On the food side, the seasonal menu includes `zucchini, snap pea, and turnip marinated in white balsamic`, `oysters and okra marinated in oil`, `pizza with whitebait and sakura shrimp`, and `pork tenderloin grilled with herb butter`. With house-made crispy-crust pizza and meat dishes that pair well with beer, it is easy to enjoy the tap lineup together with the food.
The shop will be closed on `Tuesday, April 21`, so visiting from the event’s first day, `April 22`, onward seems best. This is an anniversary event that suits a day in Ikebukuro when you want to drink well and eat well.
