Hop BroThe Shimokitazawa beer pub Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa posted its draft beer tap list on 3/28. With 6 domestic, 6 overseas, and 1 regular beer for a total of 13, that's a pretty playful lineup.
MugiWhat, 13 in total!? With that many, I'd totally get lost on my first drink!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. For example, the domestic side has a real range of flavors, from Forest's "Komorebi no Pale Ale" to Iwate Kura's "Sanriku Oyster Stout."
MugiWait, oyster stout? What is that, beer with a sea creature in it!?
Hop BroNot inside it so much as a dark beer that makes use of the mineral character and richness associated with oysters. The aroma directions are broad too, and there are spice-like nuances like Matsue Beer Herun's "Sansho White Ale," so it doesn't get boring.
MugiWow! Sansho is that peppery spice, right? It suddenly feels like a really grown-up flavor!
Hop BroExactly. The overseas lineup is strong too, and it's nice that you can start with easy-drinking styles like Silver City's "Hefeweizen" and Lucky End Rope's "Tangerine Hazy IPA."
MugiJust the name Hazy IPA sounds too stylish! But in the end, what's the best first glass?
Hop BroFor a toast, a light white ale or pale ale is nice, and finishing with a dark beer or stout makes for a clean progression. And apparently some of the beers are down to their last few pours, so enjoying the changes as you keep drinking is very much Festa.
MugiAnd on 3/29 they're even doing a hanami event at Daizawa Seseragi Park, right? With a beer server, four kegs, and tacos too, it's basically a happiness venue from noon.
Hop BroExactly. They've got beer, darts, and events all lined up, so it's the kind of place in Shimokitazawa that makes you want to linger a while. All right, let's go intending to have just one drink, and before we know it, we'll be talking about hanami.
