Two Fingers Reopens After the Typhoon With 10 Beers on Tap
Two Fingers, a beer pub in Nishi-Ikebukuro, announced that it would open after the typhoon passed early. The tap list includes three house beers plus selections from Godspeed, Phase Three, Craftrock, Dock Brewing, North Park, AJB, and Founders.
Hop BroTwo Fingers in Nishi-Ikebukuro just opened after the typhoon passed. Ten taps with three house brews is a serious detour situation.
MugiWhat! Opening right after a typhoon is fast. If the ground's still slick, this is half beer crawl, half anti-slip competition.
Hop BroThe house beers are the hook. Highway to Helles is a crisp lager-leaning start, Garage is an APA, and Hop Gasoline is an IPA, so the whole lineup has range built in.
MugiHold on, what is APA? Is it IPA's cousin who only shows up on holidays?
Hop BroAPA means American Pale Ale, and the easiest shortcut is softer bitterness than IPA. Plenty of hop aroma, less of the punch-you-in-the-face part.
MugiOoh! Then I might start with Garage. And they also have Godspeed's Sanft and Craftrock's Drink All Day, so choosing already feels like a full-time job!
Hop BroThen Phase Three's Picksel brings the haze, and North Park's DDH IPA is waiting too. That's the kind of beer that layers hop aroma until your nose starts working overtime.
MugiWhat even is that! The alphabet pressure is so intense I feel like I forgot to study for a test.
Hop BroIt basically means extra dry hopping, often in layers. And the landing spot is Founders' KBS finish, a barrel-aged imperial stout to close the night hard.
MugiSo I could start light with Helles, slide into AJB's Fooder Saison 2024, and end on KBS? That ten-tap temptation is outrageous. Once the rain settles, I need this.
Hop BroExactly. Warm up with Two Fingers' house brews and stick the landing with KBS. Ikebukuro's correct route tonight might just be straight to that bar.
Two Fingers, a beer pub at RM Building in Nishi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo, said it would open after the typhoon moved on earlier than expected. The post also reminded guests to watch their footing because the streets were still in rough shape.
The current tap list features 10 beers. Three house beers lead the lineup:
- Highway to Helles (Helles)
- Garage (APA)
- Hop Gasoline (IPA)
From there, the list moves through a wide range of styles and breweries: Godspeed’s Sanft (Pilsner), Phase Three’s Picxel (Hazy), Craftrock’s Drink All Day (Kölsch), Dock Brewing’s 13 Fresh Hop (Pilsner), North Park’s Hibernation Sickness (DDH IPA), AJB’s Fouder Saison 2024 (Saison), and Founders’ KBS (BA Imperial Stout).
It is a lineup that covers crisp lagers, hop-forward pale ales and IPAs, saison, and a barrel-aged stout, making it easy to choose a beer that fits the weather and the moment. For drinkers in Ikebukuro, the appeal here is the combination of house brews and guest beers on a single board.
