And Beer Koenji brewpub taps fruit sour Dios mio! on June 11
At And Beer's Koenji brewpub in Tokyo, the fruit sour `¡Dios mio!` is on tap for June 11. The update also ties the beer to olla's third-anniversary side event, with Mexican biryani, curry, and a new salsa verde chicken curry on offer.
Hop BroToday's topic is Dios mio on tap. At AND BEER in Koenji, they're pouring a sour made with red prickly pear fruit.
MugiWhat? Prickly pear fruit goes into beer? That sounds like a cactus just jumped into my glass!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's a fruit sour called ¡Dios mio! from AND BEER, with 5.0% ABV and a bright, easy tartness that feels a little Mexican in spirit.
MugiHold on, ABV 5.0%? You said that way too casually. Is that secret beer code or something?
Hop BroNothing secret, it's just alcohol by volume. At 5.0%, it should stay light and let the tangy fruit character shine.
MugiOoh, and it's a third anniversary tie-in for their sister spot olla, right? That has serious insider-party energy!
Hop BroExactly, and the food side is strong too: Mexican biryani and a new salsa verde chicken curry. Green tomatoes and jalapenos bring fresh acidity and heat.
MugiNo way, salsa verde chicken with sour beer? Why does that sound both elegant and a tiny bit dangerous?
Hop BroDangerous in the best way. They also have 11:30 to 22:00 service, takeaway from 9:30, plus bottles, PET bottles, cups, and growlers.
MugiThat is wildly convenient... a Koenji beer stop with curry suddenly sounds like my perfect day.
Hop BroThat's AND BEER at its best: house beer and spices pushing each other forward. Dios mio sounds made for the start of summer.
MugiThen it's settled, I want a glass now! One sip of Dios mio with curry and I'd probably start grinning immediately.

The featured beer is `¡Dios mio!`, a fruit sour brewed with the red fruit of prickly pear. According to And Beer's beer page, it sits at 5.0% ABV. The name comes from the Spanish phrase for "oh my God," and the beer is being poured as part of a side event celebrating the third anniversary of the sister shop `olla`. It is being paired with Mexican biryani and curry.
A new salsa verde chicken curry has also joined the menu. Built around green tomatoes and jalapeños, it leans into a bright tartness and heat that should work well with the beer's lively acidity. Uber Eats is available as well, so the lineup is not limited to dine-in visitors.
For drinkers looking for a Koenji stop that combines house-brewed beer and spice-driven food, this is a straightforward option to note.
