Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa: Vedett and Westmalle on the 3/25 Tap List
Beer Pub Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa, in Shimokitazawa, revealed the bottle beers in its shop on a March 25 post. The image shows a wide range of labels centered on Belgian beers, including Vedett, Grisette, Köstritzer, Westmalle, and Duchesse de Bourgogne.
Hop BroBeer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa's bottle shelf on 3/25 is seriously strong. When Vedett and Westmalle are lined up like that, it really feels like the shelf itself is inviting you to drink.
MugiWait, the bottle shelf is the star? Just looking at the refrigerated case makes me feel like I'm already sitting at a table!
Hop BroExactly, and what's inside is good too. It's centered on Belgian beers, and you can see Vedett, Grisette, Westmalle, and Duchesse de Bourgogne, so the shop's direction is clear.
MugiWhen you say Belgian beers, it suddenly sounds stylish, but what's actually different? They all just look like brown bottles to me, so I still can't tell them apart!
Hop BroFor example, Westmalle is a Trappist beer, and its charm is that it has a monastic, convent-origin flavor. It's rich, but the drinkability is clean, like "a priest carefully pouring it," or something like that.
MugiThat priest comparison really painted a picture! Then what about Köstritzer? When I hear dark beer-looking stuff, I get a little braced for bitterness!
Hop BroKöstritzer is a German dark lager, and it's the kind with a pleasant roasted aroma. It's not just bitter; the toasted character slips through smoothly, so it's much easier to drink than it looks.
MugiOhhh! Then Duchesse de Bourgogne sounds interesting too! Is that the reddish sour one? It feels like it would go well with cheese or meat!
Hop BroThat's a pretty good read. Festa has a wide bottle selection, so slow tasting side by side is the fun part of the place. Since they also have house-made sausages and beer-braised beef tendon, you can keep going forever with snacks.
MugiAnd you can watch darts and watch games in Shimokitazawa too? That's too much information in the best way! On 3/25, I want to drink beer, stare at the shelf, and feel like a winner too!
Hop BroThey're open late on weekdays, and a place like this is really dependable. Tonight is definitely the kind of night that makes you want to toast with Belgian beers.
MugiYeah, I can't help it, I want to drink! I'm in a bottle beer mood too, and I want to start with Westmalle!
Imported beers lined up in the shop bottles on 3/25
In the post Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa published on March 25, the bottle beers lined up in the refrigerated case inside the shop are strikingly captured. From the image, you can confirm labels such as Vedett (Duvel Moortgat), Grisette (Brasserie St-Feuillien), Köstritzer (Köstritzer Schwarzbierbrauerei), Westmalle (Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle), and Duchesse de Bourgogne (Brouwerij Verhaeghe), forming a lineup built around Belgian and German classics.
A range of drinks that feels right for a Shimokitazawa beer pub
Beer Bar Festa is a beer pub on the fifth floor of a building in Kitazawa, Shimokitazawa, and one of its features is that you can enjoy darts as well as beer. The food ranges from light snacks to house-made sausages, beer-braised beef tendon, and pasta, so it can be used for more than just drinking. Because the shop keeps a large stock of bottled beer, it suits people who want to take their time with bottles, not just have a single draft beer and call it a night.
Business information for the day of the post
The caption says that on 3/25 (Wed), the shop opens at 6:00 p.m., and because of the darts league PDL, darts use will not be available from 8:00 p.m. until around 10:30 p.m. The league match can be watched from the end of the counter, and on weekdays the last order is at 1:00 a.m. It sounds like a very Shimokitazawa night, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of the match while drinking beer.
