Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa pours Shiga Kogen "KASUMI" and 11 other drafts on June 2
Beer Bar Festa in Shimokitazawa opened at 6 p.m. on June 2 and posted a 12-tap lineup built around Japanese craft beer, including Shiga Kogen "KASUMI" and "Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver." The bar also highlighted its 9th-anniversary events later in the month.
Hop BroThere’s a good one in Shimokitazawa today. Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa opens at 6 p.m. on June 2 with 12 taps from Japan and abroad.
MugiWait, twelve? That’s the kind of menu that makes me panic in a good way. And they’ve got Shiga Kogen Kasumi too?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. They’ve got Shiga Kogen’s Kasumi, Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver., and everything from wheat beers to sours, so it’s a wide style spread.
MugiHold on, I know IPA, but what does Enmusubi Bakushu Real Ale ver. even mean? That sounds like serious beer wizard language.
Hop BroReal ale basically means softer, more natural carbonation instead of an aggressive fizzy blast. So that one is all about a gentle, rounded mouthfeel.
MugiOhh, so I can ease into it instead of getting hit by bubbles first. And with Yokohama Beer’s wheat beer, that’s a light first pour.
Hop BroExactly. Then you move into Delayla’s Anonymous BrewHolic Revolution or Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver., and build a hop intensity staircase.
MugiA staircase? This tap list sounds like a hiking route with foam on top. And with the overseas picks too, it turns into a cross-border tasting run.
Hop BroRight, and it still keeps Heartland around for balance while sneaking in a cherry-and-strawberry sour. Plus Festa hits its 9th anniversary on June 9, with a party on June 7 and a trio tournament on June 21, so June is full celebration mode.
MugiThat settles it. I want to chase the June 2 tap list and roll straight into the anniversary mood after that. Time for our first pint strategy meeting.
Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa is a beer pub on the fifth floor near Shimokitazawa Station. Its day-to-day identity is built around craft beer and darts, with late-night service on weekdays.
In its June 2 post, the bar announced a 6 p.m. opening and shared the day's draft list. The domestic lineup featured Shiga Kogen "KASUMI," Shiga Kogen "Snow Monkey IPA Silver Label ver.," Delaira "Anonymous Brewholic Revolution," Yokohama Beer "Seya no Komugi Beer," Repubrew "Ageage Same Age," Hansharo Beer "Coco Farm & Winery White," Biaherun "Enmusu Beer Real Ale ver.," and Setouchi "Cherry & Strawberry Sour," plus the regular beer Heartland.
The imported side included Threes Brewing "Good Bad News," Due du Ciel "Sentinel," and Threes "Fools Erland." The list spans wheat-forward beers, IPA, and sour beer, giving the tap board a broad range rather than a single style focus.
The post also mentioned what may come next, including Burnt Mill, DDC!, Shiga Kogen, Left Hand, Nomcraft, Yokohama, and TY Harbor. Festa is set to celebrate its 9th anniversary on June 9, with a birthday party and anniversary beer unveiling on June 7, plus a trio darts tournament on June 21. June looks like a month where the tap list and the anniversary schedule move in step.
