Beerbar Festa Shimokitazawa posts a July 14 tap list with Ushiku IPA and DDC! pours
Beerbar Festa in Shimokitazawa shared its tap list for Tuesday, July 14. The bar opened at 6:00 pm and stayed open until 1:00 am on a weekday, with 11 beers ranging from Japanese IPAs and a weizen to imported stout and IPA options.
Hop BroFesta Shimokitazawa's July 14 tap list is looking sharp. Doors open at 6 p.m., and 11 beers on tap is a serious lineup.
MugiWhat, eleven?! And they’ve got Ushiku IPA and DDC! too? That’s not a tap list, that’s a mini festival!
Hop BroThe main theme is really an IPA tasting run. You've got Ushiku's Wondervogel IPA, Setouchi's High Five IPA, Nomcraft's Dino Sour Zoo, plus wheat beer, pilsner, and stout.
MugiHold on, Apricot Weizen sounds less like beer and more like a fashionable puppy. What is that exactly?!
Hop BroA weizen is a wheat beer with a soft body and expressive aroma. Add apricot, and you get soft wheat character with bright fruitiness, so it drinks really smoothly.
MugiOhh! Then what about Left Hand's Milk Stout? That sounds like beer moonlighting as dessert.
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. You get roasted dark-beer notes with gentle lactose sweetness, so it feels creamy and mellow without losing that stout depth.
MugiThat rules. And DDC!'s Petit Moral and Rose de Hibiscus sound less like beers and more like luxury skincare.
Hop BroThat DDC! pair is a smart move. It gives you range from bitterness to a more playful sip, and Hansharo's Coco Farm & Winery Blanc is almost gone, so that one should be ordered early.
MugiUnderstood. We grab the almost-gone one first, compare the IPAs, then land softly with the sweeter stout. Strategy meeting complete!
Hop BroAnd Festa Shimokitazawa is on the fifth floor of Daishin Building, with last call at 1 a.m. on weekdays, so it's easy to swing by after work. Starting with Heartland is fair game too.
MugiNope, I'm done pretending to be calm. Just hearing this lineup makes me want a pint right now in Shimokitazawa!
On Tuesday, July 14, Beerbar Festa (Festa) in Shimokitazawa opened at 6:00 pm and posted a lineup of 11 draft beers across Japanese and imported styles. Located on the 5th floor of the Daisin Building in Shimokitazawa, the beer pub is set up for relaxed drinking after work, and its weekday hours run until 1:00 am.
Draft lineup
- Ushiku "Wander Vogel IPA"
- Setouchi "Hi-Five IPA"
- Nomcraft "Dinosaur Zoo"
- Setouchi "Apricot Weizen"
- T.Y. Harbor "Kanpai West Coast Pilsner"
- Hanjyoro Beer "Coco Farm & Winery White"
- Heartland
- Burnt Mill "Fog"
- Left Hand "Milk Stout"
- DDC! "Petit Moral"
- DDC! "Rose Dibiiscus"
The tap list leans toward hop-forward beers, but it also covers a wider range of drinking moods, from a weizen and pilsner to a milk stout. On the Japanese side, the standout names are Ushiku's "Wander Vogel IPA", Setouchi's "Hi-Five IPA" and "Apricot Weizen", Nomcraft's "Dinosaur Zoo", and T.Y. Harbor's "Kanpai West Coast Pilsner". Hanjyoro's "Coco Farm & Winery White" was marked as nearly sold out, so early orders would have made sense.
Imported beers included Burnt Mill's "Fog", Left Hand's "Milk Stout", and two DDC! beers: "Petit Moral" and "Rose Dibiiscus". That mix makes the bar's draft board easy to read for hop fans and also gives drinkers a stout option for later in the night.
For craft beer drinkers in Shimokitazawa, Festa's tap list is the kind of update that helps decide where to stop first. With Heartland on tap as a regular beer and a rotating lineup around it, the bar continues to offer a straightforward place to check what is pouring now and choose a pint that fits the moment.
