And Beer in Koenji Introduces Four Bottled Picks Including Apple Attack Dry/Sweet
The brewpub And Beer in Koenji updated its service notice for April 30. It introduced Apple Attack Dry/Sweet, Ultra-ripe Kishu Nanko Plum Weizen, and the COFFEE ALE collaboration with Coffee Wrights as bottles, presenting a lineup meant to be enjoyed alongside food.
Hop BroAnd Beer in Koenji brought out four new bottle picks in its April 30 service notice. Apple Attack Dry and Sweet, plus the plum weizen and COFFEE ALE, make for a pretty playful lineup.
MugiWhat! Four kinds in bottles? Not just something to drink in the shop, but something to take home and compare? That's ridiculously fun!
Hop BroExactly, and the fact that it has Apple Attack Dry/Sweet is the clever part. It's a cider-style series from Kijimadaira Village in Nagano Prefecture, and Dry is crisp while Sweet lets you enjoy the fruitiness more directly.
MugiWait, what? Dry and Sweet? Even though it's beer, is it kind of cider-like? My brain is already stuck in an apple orchard!
Hop BroThat's the And Beer way: even though it's a beer place, it still shows off the fruit character properly. What's interesting is being able to compare the cider-like acidity and sweetness side by side.
MugiWhoa! Then next is the extra-ripe Kishu Nanko plum one! Just hearing plum makes my mouth pucker!
Hop BroThat's a wheat-style beer made with Ume Boys' Nanko plums. It layers the plum's presence onto the soft mouthfeel of a Weizen, so it's designed to go down smoothly without being too sour.
MugiOh wow, that's what a wheat beer can do! Balancing plum with a soft drinking texture feels less like some refined plum sour and more like 'the plum-beer senior'!
Hop BroAnd the headliner is the COFFEE ALE collaboration. It uses Ethiopia's 'Tameru Tadesse Murago,' roasted by Coffee Wrights, so the coffee aroma and malt roastiness overlap.
MugiWhoa! Coffee aroma and malt character? That's definitely the good stuff! It feels like a bad idea in the morning, but at night I could keep going forever!
Hop BroAnd And Beer pairs well with biryani and curry, so drinking alongside a meal is the strong move. The way apple, plum, and coffee each hit from a different angle against the spice aroma is what makes it good.
MugiIt's decided! I'll toast on the terrace and take a bottle home on the way back! If you show me something like this, there's no way I wouldn't want to drink it!
The Koenji brewpub And Beer updated its service notice for April 30. In this post, it introduced `AppleAttack-Dry-`, `AppleAttack-Sweet-`, `超完熟紀州南高梅Weizen`, and `TAMIRU TADESSE-COFFEE ALE-` as new bottle options. The lineup feels very much like And Beer, designed not only for a drink in the shop but also for taking bottles home and comparing them side by side.
The four bottles on display
- `AppleAttack-Dry-` is one of the `Apple Attack` series, introduced on the official page as a cider from Kijimadaira Village in Nagano Prefecture.
- `AppleAttack-Sweet-` is the sweeter version in the same series, a bottle that lets you enjoy the fruit character in a straightforward way.
- `超完熟紀州南高梅Weizen` is a wheat-style beer made with Ume Boys' extra-ripe Kishu Nanko plums. Its structure seems to balance the plum's presence with a soft drinking texture.
- `TAMIRU TADESSE-COFFEE ALE-` is a collaboration beer also introduced in the post body as `AND TAMIRU TADESSE- COFFEE ALE-`. It uses Ethiopia's "Tameru Tadesse Murago," roasted by Coffee Wrights in Kuramae, Tokyo, layering coffee aroma with the malt's roasted character.
And Beer is known as a brewpub where you can enjoy house-brewed beer alongside spice dishes and curry. The post also featured beer alongside biryani, curry, and snacks, making it easy to build either a meal-centered table or a beer-focused drinking session. The terrace seats are pet-friendly, and take-home bottles are available, so you can enjoy it not only on-site but also by opening one slowly at home.
