And Beer introduces its house beer "CRISP!" on May 29, with biryani and all-day service
The Koenji brewpub And Beer announced its business details for Friday, May 29. Its house-made "CRISP!" is a clean, drinkable American pale ale that can be enjoyed like a guest beer. Built to pair well with biryani and curry, it is easy to drop by for during its all-day hours.
Hop BroAnd Beer in Koenji posted its business info for May 29, and the star is CRISP!. It’s a house-made American pale ale pushed all the way toward a clean, easy-drinking profile.
MugiWait, what does clean to drink even mean? There’s such a thing as a “clean” beer? That sounds kind of refined!
Hop BroThere is. It keeps off-flavors down, moderates the bitterness, and gives it a crisp finish. So even though it’s an American pale ale, it’s easy to pair with food.
MugiOhhh, so it’s not a big punchy one, but the kind that’s easy to pair with meals. What kind of food goes well with it?
Hop BroThis is the interesting part: the biryani is strong. Grilled mackerel, plum, and shiso biryani and lamb mince biryani both really click with CRISP!’s clean character.
MugiWhat? Beer and biryani? That’s just spicy food overload, in the best way! And grilled mackerel, plum, and shiso has way too much going on!
Hop BroThe curry lineup is great too, with Gujo miso keema and Kerala chicken on the board. For dinner there are spring rolls and som tam with whitebait and bitter melon, so they’re really going for it with the drinking food.
MugiWhat, spring rolls and som tam too!? The business lineup is so luxurious I’m already hungry before I even order!
Hop BroAnd the hours are 11:30 to 22:00, all day, so it works for lunch, afternoon drinking, or a nightcap. Takeout runs from 10:00 to 22:00 too, so it’s really convenient.
MugiNice, and the terrace seats allow dogs and cats, right? If I stopped by during a walk, I’d probably never leave!
Hop BroThe address is 4-2-2 Koenjikita, so it’s easy to swing by while walking around the neighborhood. If you go for one glass of CRISP! and one plate of biryani today, that’s basically a win.
MugiYeah, I’ve decided! I want to drink CRISP!, I want biryani, and I want to go to And Beer!
Hop BroExactly. On days like this, you don’t need to overthink it. Just drop in for a casual drink. A beer that’s clean to drink and genuinely goes with food like that is pure happiness.
And Beer on May 29
The Koenji-Kita brewpub "And Beer" has published its business information for Friday, May 29. The shop will be open all day from 11:30 to 22:00, with lunch from 11:30 to 15:00, a break from 15:00 to 17:00, and dinner from 17:00 to 22:00. Beer takeout is available from 10:00 to 22:00.
Beers available that day
The beer introduced in the post is And Beer’s "CRISP!". It is an American pale ale designed for a crisp drinking experience, a short finish, and a clean profile with minimal off-flavors. With a moderate bitterness that makes it easy to pair with food, it clearly leans into the "clean to drink" direction, just as its name suggests.
Dishes to pair it with
That day’s biryani lineup includes "Grilled mackerel, plum, and shiso biryani x Gujo miso keema" and "Lamb mince and Japanese pepper biryani." The curries start with "Gujo miso keema" and "Kerala chicken," and the dinner menu also includes "Ethnic spring rolls with cilantro and ground pork," "Som tam with whitebait and bitter melon," "Spice chicken ham ~with plum tokemari sauce~," "Water-boiled beef -Sui Ju Niu Rou-," and "Aji Fry 65." The way the shop centers craft beer and spicy food comes through clearly in the day’s announcement.
Ease of use is part of the appeal
At And Beer, dogs and cats are allowed on the terrace seats. Reservations are accepted by phone or via the official LINE account, and in addition to in-store pickup, Uber Eats is also available. The address is 1F, A Building, Reriet Koenji, 4-2-2 Koenjikita, Suginami-ku, Tokyo. It’s an easy place to stop by for a meal and a drink, or to grab something to go, while wandering around Koenji.
