Andbeer Koenji taproom highlights Kanjin Lager in its July 25 service update
Andbeer, a brewpub in Koenji, shared its July 25 service update. The pub offered all-day hours from lunch through dinner and spotlighted a limited collaboration beer, Kanjin Lager, made with Hacco Department Yamanashi.
Hop BroA pretty tempting update came out of Koenji. On July 25, And Beer’s taproom was featuring Shingane Lager.
MugiWait, what! That name already sounds powerful! Is Shingane Lager the kind of beer that boosts your luck too?
Hop BroNot just lucky, actually well built. It’s a collab with Fermentation Department Yamanashi, a lager brewed with Koshihikari rice.
MugiWhoa! But I’m still lost on one of your beer-nerd words: what's an adjunct?
Hop BroIt just means adding something besides malt, like rice. Here they cooked the local rice first, so you get a gentle rice aroma while it still drinks crisp.
MugiOhh, so it isn’t just light, it actually has character too! Is that what you mean by food-friendly flavor?
Hop BroExactly. Very brewpub energy too, with shio-koji chicken biryani and a Japanese dashi beef offal and Gujo miso keema. That food lineup is unfair.
MugiWhat is this place! The beer is tempting and the food is throwing elbows too! And all-day service from 11:30 to 22:00 is dangerously convenient!
Hop BroPlus takeaway runs from 10:00 to 22:00, and they’ll fill PET bottles, plastic cups, or a growler. Growler support means they’re serious.
MugiHold on, what’s a growler? Please stop naming things like they’re finishing moves!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a take-home bottle for draft beer. The terrace is pet-friendly, and the whole place works from lunch to dinner. I’m ready for a pint right now.
MugiI can already see it: biryani on the table, Shingane Lager in hand. Now I desperately want a Koenji beer run tonight!
Service update
Andbeer Koenji Taproom was open from 11:30 to 22:00 on July 25. While the day was divided into lunch, idle time, and dinner service, beer takeaway was available from 10:00 to 22:00. Guests could take beer home in PET bottles, plastic cups, or growlers.
The featured beer
The recommended beer for the day was Kanjin Lager. It is a limited collaboration beer with Hacco Department Yamanashi, brewed with Koshihikari rice grown in the Kanjin area of Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture. According to the post, the rice is cooked once before brewing, leaving a subtle rice aroma and creating a clean, refreshing lager.
A brewpub built around food and beer
Andbeer is a brewpub in Koenji, Tokyo, and the post also laid out the day’s food menu. The evening offerings included three-five-eight pickled chicken biryani, beef choshu in Japanese dashi, and Gujo miso keema curry, along with dishes such as fries with fermented mayo, sand gizzard confit with fish sauce koji, soy-mirin chicken wings, shrimp and yam with herb breadcrumb, corn karaage with garlic butter, and sweet-and-sour pork belly.
That mix makes the venue easy to use from lunch through dinner, especially for drinkers who want food alongside their beer. The terrace is pet-friendly for dogs and cats, and the shop accepts reservations by phone or official LINE. It is also set up for takeaway and Uber Eats, making it a flexible stop for craft beer and a proper meal in Koenji.
