P-144 x Shitoraba in Ikebukuro taps COEDO Seibi-AO and seven more beers
P-144 x Shitoraba, a beer pub in Higashi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo, posted its tap list featuring COEDO Seibi-AO and Jōhana Beer Earl Grey. The lineup brought together eight craft beers, from pilsner to IPA and saison.
Hop BroIkebukuro's P-144×Citrabar is looking strong today. They've got eight taps on, including COEDO's Ao-AO- and Johana Beer Earl Grey, and it feels like a perfect lineup for a tasting session.
MugiWhat, eight beers on tap ? That's basically an amusement park for beer people! Which ones are the fresh openings?
Hop BroThe new arrivals are Ao-AO- and Earl Grey . Ao-AO- is a cold IPA from COEDO, and Earl Grey is a Flavor Ale from Johana Beer, so the contrast is half the fun.
MugiHold on, cold IPA ? What is that supposed to mean? Is it just an IPA that bragged about being in the fridge?
Hop BroNot quite. Think clean, crisp finish more than heavy bitterness. COEDO Ao-AO- is pale gold, lightly bitter, gently yeasty, and layered with a lemongrass-like hop aroma, so it sounds perfect for a hot day.
MugiOhhh! Then this Earl Grey beer actually smells like tea? That sounds like something even my bitterness-shy friends could handle!
Hop BroExactly, the bergamot aroma does a lot of the work there. And the full list is broad too: Sierra Nevada PILS, Kyoto Brewing Tsubutsumu, and flora fermentation Koropokkuru are all in the mix.
MugiSo it's from PILS to IPA ? That's a huge range! But now you're throwing saison and session White IPA at me like this is a beer exam!
Hop BroA saison is usually light and dry , so it's great with food. Koropokkuru fills that slot, SUZUKA-Ryofu is an easygoing session White IPA, PINETOP is a West Coast IPA, and SELFISH keeps the IPA crowd happy too.
MugiSo every kind of drinker wins today. If they're open from 11:30 to 23:30, I want to settle in with food and do a proper side-by-side tasting!
Hop BroThat's the move. Reserve for three or more if you're going as a group, and keep in mind food last order is 22:30 while beer last order is 23:00. I'm already picturing Ao-AO- first and Earl Grey to finish.
MugiDone. Ao first, Earl Grey later , and if I've still got room I'm going after PINETOP too. This article made me instantly thirsty for craft beer!

New taps

Jōhana Beer Earl Grey, meanwhile, leans into bright bergamot aromatics. The venue described it as a tea beer with a floral, refreshing profile, and as an approachable option even for people who do not usually drink beer. For fans of aroma-driven beers, it is an eye-catching entry on the list.
