Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa taps COEDO "Marihana" and a mixed 12-tap lineup
Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa updated its tap list on July 29 and said it was open from 18:00 as usual. The new pour is COEDO "Marihana," joined by Japanese beers from Y Market, Houjou, and Riot, plus overseas picks from Division and DDC! Draft Black Nikka Highball is on tap too.
Hop BroShimokitazawa beer fans got a good one today: Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa refreshed its taps and just put COEDO's Marihana on.
MugiWhat! That's already a win. And the article says 12 taps lined up, which is the kind of menu that breaks my decision-making.
Hop BroExactly. The headline pour, COEDO Marihana, is a Session IPA, so it brings bright hop aroma without feeling too heavy to keep drinking.
MugiHold on, Session IPA? What is that supposed to mean? A beer for business meetings?
Hop BroClose in name, wrong in spirit. Think light body, big aroma: hoppy and flavorful, but easiergoing than a bruiser IPA.
MugiOhhh, that actually sounds beginner-friendly. And with Y.Market, Hojo, and Riot there too, the domestic lineup is stacked.
Hop BroThen you add overseas beers like Division's Disco Ninja IPA and DDC!'s Rose de Hibiscus, and it turns into a local-meets-global tap list with real range.
MugiThose names are wild! Disco Ninja already sounds like a dance move, and Rose de Hibiscus is a spell-level beer name I'd absolutely fumble ordering.
Hop BroThat variety is the charm. It's two minutes from the station, easy for solo counter drinking, has house-made sausages, and a last call at 1 a.m. for taking your time.
MugiDarts, late hours, and rotating taps every visit? So it's basically a different mood each time... yeah, that's dangerous for my wallet.
Hop BroAnd with more breweries like DDC!, Sierra Nevada, and Shiga Kogen waiting in the wings, the move today is start with Marihana and keep an eye on what's next.
MugiSold. Marihana first, maybe that draft Black Nikka highball after, and now I fully want a Shimokitazawa beer night immediately.
Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa is a beer pub about two minutes from Shimokitazawa Station. The bar runs 12 rotating taps and keeps about 40 bottled beers on hand, so it works both for solo visits and for small groups at the tables. House-made sausages and other food make it easy to turn a beer stop into a proper meal.
In the July 29 post, the bar said COEDO "Marihana" and draft Black Nikka Highball were connected due to a festival leftover. The weekday schedule runs until 25:00, which makes this a clear late-night option. Darts are available as well, so the place is set up for more than just a quick pint.
