Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa posted its business notice for Friday, 4/10. The bar opens at 6 p.m., and on weekends it says last call is at 4 a.m., making it an easy choice for anyone wanting to enjoy craft beer late into the night in Shimokitazawa. In addition to beer, guests can also enjoy darts inside the bar, and it continues to run events for both beer fans and darts fans, such as the "Beer Lovers' Club" and the Shimokitazawa Darts Exchange Match.

Today's Draft Beer


A domestic standout is Ise Kadoya Beer "Fresh Pressed Beyond the Pacific." The post describes it as "a West Coast Pilsner that adds liquid hops to a regular item, achieving a fresh flavor and a dry finish," making it a glass to watch for in terms of hop freshness and easy drinkability. Other taps include Setouchi "Cherry & Strawberry," Forest "Takibi no Dunkel," Y Market "Beeple" (almost gone), Repubrew "Hamburg's Black Mist" (almost gone), and the regular beer Heartland.

Overseas Taps


The overseas lineup includes DDC! "Don Do Ruccan," Burnt Mill "Diamond Lake," Silver City "Hefeweizen," Silver City "Range West IPA," and Thornbridge "Double Green Mountain." With clearly distinct styles like Hefeweizen and West Coast IPA, the selection looks well suited to side-by-side tasting.
