Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa posts July 8 tap lineup with 11 beers
Beer Bar Festa (Festa) Shimokitazawa posted its tap lineup for Wednesday, July 8. The list spans 11 beers from Japanese and imported breweries, including NOMCRAFT, T.Y. Harbor, and Left Hand.
Hop BroIf you're choosing a spot in Shimokitazawa tonight, Beer Bar Festa's 11 taps are hard to ignore. On July 8 they're pouring a full mix of Japanese and international draft beer.
MugiEleven on tap? That's not a menu, that's a boss battle. And it's near the station on the fifth floor? Total secret hideout energy.
Hop BroExactly, and one highlight is T.Y. Harbor x Festa with 'Kanpai West Coast Pilsner.' A pilsner is crisp and clean, so you get that snap with a nice hop lift.
MugiHold on, West Coast Pilsner sounds like a beer that surfs to work. How is that different from a regular pilsner?
Hop BroHere's the thing: it's basically a brighter hop profile on top of easy lager drinkability. You still get the clean finish, but often with a more citrusy aroma.
MugiOhh, then what about Apricot Weizen from Setouchi? That name already sounds like dessert in a glass.
Hop BroA weizen uses wheat malt, so with fruit layered in you can expect a soft fruity aroma. And they also have Burnt Mill's 'Fog' and Knee Deep's 'Folsom Haze,' so the hoppy side is stacked too.
MugiStacked is right, I need extra hands. But Left Hand Milk Stout is calling me too. Is there actual milk in that?
Hop BroWhat goes in is lactose, which leaves a sweet stout finish. Also, 'Coco Farm & Winery White' and that Milk Stout are both listed as nearly gone, so earlier is smarter.
MugiWait, so we need to move now! And from 8:00 to about 10:30 they're pausing darts for the league, so beer and people-watching is suddenly a strategy.
Hop BroYep, and with a calm fifth-floor setup plus weekday hours until 1 a.m., it's easy to settle in. They even have DDC!'s 'Petit Moral' and 'Rose de Hibiscus,' so an early first pint can turn into a full session fast.
MugiSold. Start me with 'Kanpai West Coast Pilsner,' then let me chase it with a stout. A night with 11 reasons to drink sounds perfect.
