Ikebukuro's Two Fingers Reveals Birthday Notice and a 10-Keg Tap List
The beer pub Two Fingers in Tokyo's Nishi-Ikebukuro has shared its latest tap list on Instagram. In addition to its house beers, the lineup includes labels from Craft Rock, NAMACHAn, Fidens, Revision, and WCB, with two backup kegs waiting in reserve. Combined with notice of the next day's birthday celebration, it conveys the fun of tasting beers side by side.
Hop BroIkebukuro's Two Fingers has put out its latest 10-keg tap list. What's more, tomorrow is part-timer Maki's birthday, and it's also two days before Nao's birthday, so the whole place is basically in full celebration mode.
MugiWait, it's a birthday rush? We're supposed to be drinking beer, but now it feels like we have no choice but to drink!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is great too, starting with the bar's own Highway to Helles and Garage. Helles is a clean lager, and Garage is an APA, so the foundation is already solid.
MugiAPA, what's that! I know it's beer, not a car, but when I hear Garage I think of a toolbox!
Hop BroThat's short for American Pale Ale. It has a solid hop aroma, but it's not as heavy as an IPA, so it's a good first pint.
MugiI see! And they have the Craft Rock and NAMACHAn one too, right? A smoothie sour is basically dessert, isn't it!
Hop BroExactly, Witcher's Smoothie goes in that direction. It's a fruit-forward sour, so it looks almost like juice even though it still has the complexity that comes from fermentation.
MugiThe overseas lineup is strong too, and I'm already getting drunk on the amount of information. Fidens' Hazy alone sounds delicious!
Hop BroFidens' QDH Jasper is juicy and hazy, Revision's What What What is a powerful triple IPA, and WCB's Hop and Escape is a pilsner that leans crisp. From easy-drinking to punchy, that range is exactly what makes Two Fingers feel like Two Fingers.
MugiWait, they even have a nitro stout? That's the creamy, fluffy kind, right? That's the kind that makes you sad at the last sip!
Hop BroIt's also nice that Alstroemeria and Free From Doubt are waiting in reserve. Even if kegs turn over, having the next beer ready is the kind of reassurance that makes a beer pub dependable.
MugiThen I'm going to aim for kegs 4, 6, 9, and 10 in Ikebukuro! I want to piggyback on the birthday celebration and taste the ones that interest me one by one. Now I really want to drink!
