And Beer Koenji taproom highlights the fruit ale "Sumomomo"
And Beer, the Koenji brewpub in Suginami, posted its August 11 service note featuring "Sumomomo," a fruit ale made with Oishi-wase plums. The beer was presented alongside the day’s biryani and curry lineup, making it a food-friendly option from lunch through dinner.
Hop BroI need to talk about the fruit ale Sumomomo that And Beer in Koenji is pouring today.
MugiWait, that is way too cute a name! It sounds like a tongue twister and a beer order at the same time!
Hop BroAnd it uses Oishi Wase plums, so the aroma and flavor really push the fruit character forward.
MugiWhoa, but what is Oishi Wase? That sounds less like fruit and more like a secret boss in a game!
Hop BroIt's a plum variety. In beers like this, ester expression is part of the fun, because it shapes how fruity the aroma feels.
MugiHold on, ester expression? Why did this beer suddenly hand me a chemistry quiz?!
Hop BroIt sounds technical, but it just means fruity aroma. The kind where you sniff it and instantly think, yep, plum.
MugiAnd they also have beef biryani that day, right? My stomach is already sprinting to Koenji before the beer arrives!
Hop BroYep, and the recommended dish is duck saag keema. That tart fruit note should sit really nicely next to the spices.
MugiThat is dangerously appealing! And reservations from one person is such a win for solo beer missions.
Hop BroPlus they're available on Uber Eats, and the place works from lunch through night. I'm already ready to drink this whether I'm at the pub or at home.
MugiSame here, I'm fully in beer and curry mode now! I want to head to Koenji and toast with Sumomomo immediately!
And Beer, the Koenji brewpub in Suginami, featured its recommended drink for its August 11 service update: "Sumomomo," a fruit ale made with Oishi-wase plums. The post frames it as a plum-driven beer, giving clear direction on what kind of flavor profile drinkers can expect.
The food lineup that day was built around a proper meal service, with beef biryani on the pot and three curry options on offer. Duck sag keema was recommended in particular. That makes the taproom feel less like a quick stop for a single pint and more like a place where beer and food are meant to sit at the same table.
The post also notes that reservations are available for one guest or more, and that Uber Eats delivery is running. For beer drinkers in Koenji looking for a relaxed brewpub visit with a fruit-forward beer and a substantial meal, this is an easy one to keep on the radar.
