Andbeer, a brewpub in Koenji, posted its service notice for June 21. The menu centers on jollof rice, while the drink recommendation is SALSAL, a sister-shop anniversary saison from olla.
Hop BroToday’s topic is AND BEER in Koenji. On June 21 they’re open straight from lunch through dinner, and they’re pouring their sister shop olla’s anniversary beer, SALSAL.
MugiWhat! All-day service is already a win, and an anniversary beer on top of that? That sounds dangerously easy to justify.
Hop BroThe highlight is SALSAL the anniversary beer. It’s a saison with lime and salt, so it drinks bright and refreshing instead of heavy.
MugiWait, what is a saison? You said that way too casually for something that sounds like a spell.
Hop BroA saison is basically a fresh aromatic ale. It feels light on the palate but still has character, so it works really well with food.
MugiOhh, so it’s a supporting actor beer. Not trying to steal the whole scene, but secretly making everything better.
Hop BroExactly, and the food sounds strong too. They’re leading with jollof rice today, plus three curries, and the ginger chicken is the recommended one.
MugiThat’s wild! Lime and salt with spiced rice already sounds like my brain and stomach are starting a festival.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of food pairing magic. Since SALSAL isn’t too heavy, it can sit nicely next to both jollof rice and curry.
MugiThen I’m sold, I want to head to AND BEER right now. Jollof rice plus SALSAL sounds like the exact kind of happy decision I need.
