And Beer, the brewpub in Koenji, shared its July 31 Friday update on Instagram. The post announced continuous service from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with beer available for takeout in bottles, PET bottles, plastic cups, and growlers. It also noted that the team expected a busy evening, so advance contact would help make seating smoother.

The featured beer recommendation is sumomomo, a fruit ale brewed with Japanese plum. It is described as a beer with a well-balanced aroma, acidity, and sweetness. As one of And Beer's signature house beers, it should work well as an opening pour or alongside food, especially in hot weather when a bright, fruit-forward beer feels natural.

On the food side, the lineup includes oyster biryani and a chilled summer meal, plus curries such as dashi chicken and Gujo miso keema. The kitchen also lists a range of dishes that fit beer well, including summer vegetable agedashi, fries with fermented mayo, conger eel and shio-koji confit, grilled chicken wings with mirin lees, shrimp and yam with herb breadcrumbs, and black-vinegar pork belly. Terrace seating is also open to dogs and cats, which adds to the easygoing taproom atmosphere.

For beer drinkers looking for a casual Koenji stop, this is a practical update with a clear beer-and-food pairing story.
