Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa lines up Y Market, DDC! and more on July 26
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa opened at 6 p.m. on July 26 and said it would keep serving until midnight on Sunday. The post also noted beer sales at the Bon Odori venue next to Ozeki, alongside a draft list featuring Y Market, Yokohama Beer, T.Y. Harbor, DDC!, and more.
Hop BroShimokitazawa's Beer Bar Festa has a seriously strong lineup for July 26. Doors open at 6 p.m., and they've got drafts from Y.Market and even DDC! on tap inside.
MugiWhat! They're selling at the Bon Odori venue too? You can drink in the bar and grab beer outside? That's like festival strategy guide material!
Hop BroAnd they're open until midnight Sunday, so you can still catch a post-dance pint. Being on the 5th floor near Shimokitazawa Station makes it an easy stop too.
MugiOhh! But I always hear 12 taps and never ask this out loud... does tap literally mean the pouring spout? Is beer secretly becoming a kitchen appliance?
Hop BroThat is basically right. A permanent 12-tap setup means they have twelve draft lines ready to pour. That's why they can cover a wide range, from Y.Market's "Purple Jet Sky" to Yokohama Beer's "Weizen."
MugiNo way! Weizen and Dunkel on the same day feels like walking into a bakery and somehow choosing both the croissant and the curry bun!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they have T.Y. Harbor's Kanpai West Coast Pilsner. "West Coast" usually means the hop aroma pops harder, so think of a crisp pilsner with extra aromatic lift.
MugiThat name is intense! West Coast makes me picture sunglasses and ocean wind, but basically it means crisp and aromatic, right?
Hop BroExactly. Then you add DDC!'s Rose de Hibiscus, Ushiku's "Wondervogel IPA," Setouchi's "High Five IPA," and Hojo's stout, and at that point I just want to order a tasting run.
MugiI'm done for, because my just one quick drink plan would absolutely collapse in front of that tap list. Now I want to hit Festa Shimokitazawa after the Bon Odori and raise a glass!
