And Beer Begins Serving "AND TAMIRU TADESSE" - Coffee Ale Brewed with Coffee Wrights Roasted Beans
At the brewpub And Beer in Koenji, Thursday, April 23, brings the new coffee ale "AND TAMIRU TADESSE." Made with beans roasted by Coffee Wrights, it is a day to enjoy lunch, happy hour, and even beer takeout.
Hop BroA new release has arrived from And Beer, the Koenji brewpub. Since April 23, they have been serving "AND TAMIRU TADESSE," a Coffee Ale made with beans roasted by Coffee Wrights.
MugiWait, beer and coffee?! A Coffee Ale, but isn't it just bitter?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It's 5.5% ABV, and with Ethiopia's "Tamir Tadesse Murago," they're aiming for grape and peach-like aromas.
MugiCoffee with grape and peach? My brain can't handle that! What does "bright, yeast-derived" even mean?
Hop BroThe aromas produced by yeast during fermentation create fruity and floral notes. So it's not just the roasted character of the coffee beans, but also the ale-like aroma layered on top.
MugiOh, I see! Then it sounds like it would go well with food too! It said it pairs well with spice dishes, so what should I order?
Hop BroAs of the time of posting, the menu includes sag duck keema paneer, a miso keema combo, and shrimp, bamboo shoot, and butterbur sprout miso biryani. If you drink it with biryani, the aromas really open up and it's amazing.
MugiIt's great that it's under the elevated tracks north of Koenji, so it's easy to go even on rainy days! Being able to get there with almost no soaking is secretly genius, right?
Hop BroAnd it's open straight through from 11:30 to 22:00, there's happy hour, and takeout is available too. They accept bottles and growlers, so you have a lot of freedom in how you drink it.
MugiAnd I also want to try the seasonal Sakura hard pudding, which is in its final week, so I want to go for the coffee ale and everything else too...!
Hop BroThat's settled then. Today, let's head to And Beer, have a glass of the coffee ale, and enjoy the food and dessert all together.
MugiYeah, I'm already totally in the mood to drink! I want to head to Koenji right now!
At And Beer, the brewpub in Koenji, Tokyo, the new beer "AND TAMIRU TADESSE" is being served on Thursday, April 23. The style is Coffee Ale, and the ABV is 5.5%. It uses Ethiopia's "Tamir Tadesse Murago," roasted by Coffee Wrights in Kuramae, Tokyo, and is said to combine coffee notes reminiscent of grape and peach with the bright, yeast-derived character of an ale.
The shop is located in the elevated-track area north of Koenji, and one of its defining features is that you can get there with almost no exposure to rain even on wet days. Regular hours run from 11:30 to 22:00, lunch is served from 11:30 to 15:00 (last order 14:30), and happy hour runs from 15:00 to 18:00. Beer takeout is also available from 9:30 to 22:00, with bottles, PET bottles, plastic cups, and growlers all supported.
On the food side, as of the time of posting, the menu includes pairings with spice dishes and rice dishes such as sag duck keema paneer, a keema combo with miso keema, and shrimp, bamboo shoots, and butterbur sprout miso biryani. Also announced is the "Sakura hard pudding," which is ending its seasonal run this week, making for a lineup that naturally invites curiosity about how it pairs with the new coffee-forward release. It is fair to say that And Beer is appealing as a place where you can drop in for craft beer and take your time enjoying both a meal and dessert.
