Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa taps Y Market’s Purple Jet Sky on July 24
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa posted its July 24 tap list, led by a new pour from Y Market. The bar opens at 6 p.m., stays open late on Fridays, and also announced outdoor service tied to the Shimokitazawa Bon Odori weekend.
Hop BroShimokitazawa is looking good tonight. Festa's fresh tap list is out for July 24, with doors at 6 p.m. and Friday service rolling all the way to 4 a.m.
MugiWait, open until 4 a.m.!? That's not a bar, that's a safety net for beer lovers.
Hop BroAnd the headline pour is Purple Jet Sky from Nagoya's Y. Market, a newly tapped American pale ale that's described as extra hoppy.
MugiWhat does extra hoppy even mean? Are the hops doing backflips in the glass?
Hop BroPretty much aroma backflips, yeah. Hop aroma and bitterness come forward more, so think citrusy, grapefruity punch without losing drinkability.
MugiOkay, wow. First-pint candidate locked in already. What else is on the domestic side?
Hop BroThe range is strong. From IPA to stout, they've got Hojo Stout, Riot Stay Dread, Yokohama Beer Weizen, Setouchi Dunkel, T.Y. Harbor Kanpai West Coast Pilsner, and even Heartland.
MugiThese names have too much power! Wandervogel IPA sounds like a hiking achievement, and Dunkel still sounds like a spell.
Hop BroUshiku's Wandervogel IPA and Setouchi's High Five IPA are running low already, so early is smarter. And Dunkel is a darker, maltier style, while Weizen is a softer wheat beer that's easy to get into.
MugiNice, and the import taps are wild too, right? Division's Disco Ninja IPA and DDC!'s Rose Diviscus sound like they should come with a dance floor.
Hop BroExactly, and there's outdoor festival sales for the Shimokitazawa Bon Odori too. I'm already imagining Purple Jet Sky inside first, then highballs, food, and another round by the Ozeki side spot.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. We need a pint of Purple Jet Sky first, then we chase those almost-gone IPAs before they vanish.
July 24 tap list
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa, on the 5th floor of the Daishin Building and about a two-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station, shared its July 24 service update and draft lineup. The bar opens at 6 p.m., and Friday service runs until 4 a.m., matching its beer-and-darts identity with a late-night pace.
The new pour of the day is Y Market’s Purple Jet Sky. According to the post, it is an American pale ale that takes the brewery’s regular item and pushes the hoppiness further. It is the beer the bar wants guests to try first.
The domestic lineup is broad: Hojo Stout, Riot Stay Dread, Yokohama Beer Weizen, Setouchi Dunkel, Ushiku Wonder Vogel IPA, Setouchi High Five IPA, T.Y. Harbor Kanpai West Coast Pilsner, and the regular Heartland. The bar notes that Wonder Vogel IPA and High Five IPA are down to the last few servings.
Imported taps include Division Disco Ninja IPA and DDC! Rose Diviscus, adding more hop-forward options to a list that already spans weizen, dunkel, stout, and pilsner.
The post also says that, for the Shimokitazawa Bon Odori weekend, Festa will serve craft beer, highballs and sours, chijimi, and roast beef from the space near Ozeki. It is a practical stop for beer fans: a place to sit down for a carefully selected draft list, or to grab a drink while moving through the neighborhood event scene.
