Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa posts Aug. 10 tap list with KOMPAS
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa said it would open at 6 p.m. on Aug. 10 for a pre-holiday service and stay open until 4 a.m. The post highlighted a new KOMPAS from Minoh Beer x Yorocco Beer, alongside a broad draft lineup from Japan and overseas.
Hop BroI already know where tonight ends: Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa opens at 6 PM on August 10, and one of the 11 drafts is the new Minoh Beer × Yorocco Beer collab, 'Compass'.
MugiWhat! A beer called Compass sounds like it should come with a map. What kind of role is it playing here?
Hop BroHere’s the fun part: the new Compass keg is the headline, and it’s backed up by Shonan Beer’s 'American-style IPA,' HOJO Brewing & Stays’ 'Stout,' and Yokohama Beer’s 'Weizen'.
MugiHold on, what is Weizen? A spell? It sounds like a secret Darts Live finishing move!
Hop BroIt’s a wheat-based pale beer style, and banana-like aromas often come from the yeast. The texture is soft, so it’s easy for newer craft beer fans to get into.
MugiOooh! So HOJO's stout is handling the dark side? That name already sounds like a midnight drinking buddy.
Hop BroExactly. Then you add T.Y. HARBOR’s 'Kanpai West Coast Pilsner,' Revision’s 'Revision DIPA' and 'Disco Ninja IPA,' plus Dieu du Ciel!’s 'Moralite' and 'Rosee d’Hibiscus,' and you get a domestic-import mix that really carries the tap list.
MugiDIPA feels scary already because it has an extra I! What actually makes it different?
Hop BroIt’s short for Double IPA, basically a bigger IPA with more hop aroma and bitterness. Pair that with house-made sausage or beef tendon simmered in beer and the tasting flight never ends.
MugiAnd 6 PM to 4 AM? That’s basically Shimokitazawa's night shelter! I’d walk in for one glass and end up greeting every tap.
Hop BroIt’s only two minutes from the station, with both counter and table seating, so on a pre-holiday night I want my first pour now. Starting with Compass or easing in with a Weizen is a real dilemma.
MugiAt this point I want to toast right now! Give me house-made sausage and let me work through crisp IPA, dark beer, and fruity pours in order.
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa, about a two-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station's Central Exit, is a beer pub with 12 taps and two Darts Live machines. It works well as a quick solo stop or a slower beer-and-food session at the table.
