And Beer Koenji posts Aug. 21 service update, opens botanical peach at ISETAN Curry Fest
And Beer Koenji posted its Aug. 21 service update, listing the day's house beers and noting that the peach beer botanical peach is on tap at ISETAN Curry Fest 2026 in Shinjuku.
Hop BroToday's topic is And Beer in Koenji. On August 21, peaches are the star both at the brewpub and the festival, and hearing botanical peach on tap is enough to get me moving.
MugiWhat! Beer at Isetan's curry festival? And peach too? Curry and peach beer was absolutely not on my bingo card!
Hop BroThat's what makes And Beer fun. At ISETAN Curry Fest 2026, they're pouring a peach fruit ale with cardamom and coriander.
MugiWhat even is that! Cardamom and coriander sounds like a wizard spell. What happens when that goes into beer?
Hop BroThis is where adjuncts matter. The peach stays juicy, the spice adds lift, and even after curry the finish stays smooth instead of heavy.
MugiWait, adjuncts? Is that like extra cast members for beer?
Hop BroExactly. It means ingredients added beyond malt and hops, and botanical peach is basically built for food with its peach-and-spice balance.
MugiOhh! And the brewpub is open straight from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., so just one quick pint is actually doable!
Hop BroAnd the taps are stacked: PEACH, 4 LINE OVER., I9L, Bryutto Lemon, Shade Break, Azarashi Pilsner Okawari, Super Ripe Nanko Ume Weizen, and more. That's a ridiculously broad lineup.
MugiYou slipped in 'Weizen' like I should already know it. That was a full beginner left behind moment.
Hop BroFair point. Weizen is a wheat beer with a soft texture, and it can even have banana-like yeast notes. Think soft and fluffy vibes and you're close.
MugiOkay, now I get it. botanical peach at the curry fest, a loaded tap list in Koenji, and even plum jam Basque cheesecake? My first drink plan is officially locked in.
Hop BroAnd because you can drink in, grab takeout, or fill a growler, it's dangerously easy to go peach to peach all day long.
MugiThat's it, I'm done for. My stomach and my throat are fully ready. Let's start with botanical peach and begin our And Beer crawl!
And Beer Koenji posted its Aug. 21 service update.
The brewpub is open from 11:30 to 22:00, with lunch from 11:30 to 15:00 and dinner from 17:00 to 22:00. Beer takeout runs from 9:30 to 22:00, with bottles, PET bottles, plastic cups, and growlers available. It is the kind of flexible setup that suits a neighborhood brewpub built for both a quick stop and a proper meal.
The tap list shown in the post includes `Weizen Hakko-chu!`, `PEACH`, `4 LINE OVER.`, `I9L`, `Brut Lemon`, `Shade Break`, `Azarashi Pilsner O-kawari`, and `Super-Ripe Nanko Ume ~Weizen~`. The caption also says `botanical peach` is on tap at ISETAN Curry Fest 2026 in Shinjuku, with cardamom and coriander giving it a herbal finish.
The post also mentions a plum-jam basque cheesecake and a curry set discount, reinforcing the venue's food-first character. At And Beer, the draw is not just one beer, but a lineup that moves easily between fruit beers, wheat beers, an IPA, and plum-led pours.
