Ikebukuro’s P-144 x Citraba publishes an eight-beer craft lineup
P-144 x Citraba in East Ikebukuro is taking part in IKEBUKURO LIVING LOOP with food, drinks, and a daily craft-beer lineup from eight Japanese breweries, including both lighter styles and hop-forward options.
Hop BroIkebukuro is looking dangerous today. P-144 x Citra Bar has popped up on Green Boulevard at IKEBUKURO LIVING LOOP with eight Japanese craft taps.
MugiWhat! Eight taps outside? That's basically an open-air beer pub! If I saw that during a walk, I'd get vacuumed straight in!
Hop BroAnd the spread is wide: AGARIHAMA BREWERY's Citrus Session, DD4D BREWING's Meeting Point, REVO's Sunny Side Hazy IPA, even CRAFTROCK's double IPA Joy Hopposites. It goes from light to full hop attack.
MugiWait, what is SIPA? IPA already sounds intense, and then they add another letter like it's a final exam!
Hop BroSIPA means Session IPA. You still get plenty of hop aroma, but it's usually lighter and easier to keep drinking, like Chichibu Bakushu's Kuma to Kabosu no SIPA.
MugiNo way! Then what is Cho, Latte yo! supposed to be? That name sounds like breakfast coffee and late-night beer crashed into each other!
Hop BroThat reaction is fair. It's a coffee amber ale, so you get toasty malt with coffee-like character. Then you've also got And Beer’s rice lager Shekina Mai Be and Brasserie Knot's white ale FLOWER.
MugiAnd the food too? Herb sausage with cabbage in salted lemon stew, only ten servings, is a direct attack on my self-control! I want the baked Napolitan and the Jiro-style yakisoba too!
Hop BroAnd all of that comes in a garlic-heavy lineup with real staying power. It can handle aromatic beers like hazy IPA, and they even have lemon sour and non-alcoholic options for mixed groups.
MugiWait, the main shop is open too? So you can grab a beer on Green Boulevard and then keep going at the basement pub? Ikebukuro is absolutely trying to make me drink!
Hop BroExactly. That roaming city-drinking feel is the point, and just chasing the daily draft lineup is enough to make even a former brewery guy like me want to head over.
MugiThat's it, I need a pint in Ikebukuro now! Start me with Citrus Session, then Sunny Side Hazy IPA, and finish with Joy Hopposites!
