Bar Characteristics
TWO FINGERSは、カウンター6席、３テーブル9席の小さなバーです。広々とした一枚板のカウンターで、クラフトビールやクラフトジンのイベントなどで出会った人に再会できることでしょう。おいしいクラフトビールを飲みながら、新しい友達作りもできます。もちろん一人でじっくりビールに向き合いたい人にも最適です。
ナオとステフが日本国内外から厳選したクラフトビールを9タップ、瓶や缶を数種類ご用意しております。そのビールが一番おいしい状態、おいしいタイミングで繋いでいきます。また、IPA、セゾン、サワー、スタウト、ラガー、限定のビールを様々な趣向に合わせて各種取り揃えております。
雰囲気は良いけど、暗いバーでビールの色がよくわからなかった。写真を撮ったけど、暗くて美味しくなさそうに映っちゃったなんてことはないですか？
TWO FINGERSはビールの色が分かる照明になっております。インテリアにも余計な色を入れていません。ビールを味わうだけでなく目でも楽しんでほしいからです。SNSユーザーにもご好評をいただいております。
Bar Characteristics
Our bar is small and narrow that can seat about 15 (6 counter and 9 table).
The large counter is the focal point of our bar as it serves as the gathering place for people to discuss craft beer while having a great time meeting old friends and making new ones.
We have 9 craft beers on tap from both Japan and around the World that both Nao and Stef have carefully selected. We pay careful attention to new release beers so that you can be sure that what you are drinking is the most up to date and freshest beer around.
We also aim to provide a balance of different craft beer styles including IPAs, Saisons, Sour Ales, Stouts, Lagers and Limited Release craft beer to suit everyone’s tastes and to give everyone ample chance to expand their palates.
The bar interior is brightly lit so that you can enjoy the true colour of the craft beer and craft gin we serve. We hope that the brightly lit bar is more inviting, particularly to those who are visiting for the first time. Everyone is welcome.
Intro
Both Nao and Stef found each other on social media through a shared love of craft beer in late 2014 although they didn’t meet each other until late 2015. Since then they have slowly built a strong connection based on the discovery of delicious beers and the foundation of lasting friendship with those we’ve met along the way.
Let’s find out a little more about the people behind TWO FINGERS.
Nao
Stef
I grew up in regional Australia close to Melbourne. Lagers have long been the staple beer amongst most Australians with the occasional porter, stout, golden/brown ale or amber. For a long time, I never considered these beers to be craft. Beer was simply something to drink with ease and not worry about taste. For most of the time I drank lagers and if I felt special I would reach for a traditional ale. But I didn’t understand what I was drinking.
My eyes were awoken in 2011. I had dabbled in wine and sake (nihonshu) tasting and it was when I was living in Kobe that I had a bottle of Orval with my French lunch.
Here I realised that beer can be complex
TWO FINGERSって？
Intro
TWO FINGERSは西池袋のクラフトジンとクラフトビールの小さなバーです。クラフトビール愛好家のナオとステフが、2019年2月に開店しました。クラフトビール初心者でも、ビアギークでもゆっくりと楽しんでいただける空間づくりをモットーにしています。狭い空間であるからこそ、お客様同士の新たな出会いや、様々な情報交換ができると考えております。
Philosophy
私たちは人に焦点を当てております。私たち二人は、人が大好きで、人と話すのがとても好きです。一人で来ても、大勢で来ても、まるで昔からの友達の家に遊びに行ったかのようなバー作りを目目指しています。
新しい友達作り、クラフトビールやクラフトジンの様々な情報交換の場に使っていただけると幸いです。
また、クラフトビールのブルワーさんとのコネクションを生かし、クラフトビールの飲み手と造り手の架け橋の場を提供していきたいと考えております。
TWO FINGERSはクラフトビールを愛する全ての人のものです。
WHO ARE TWO FINGERS?
Intro
TWO FINGERS is a small craft beer and craft gin bar located in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Japan. Opening in February 2019, TWO FINGERS aims to provide an intimate and comfortable experience for people who wish to explore craft beer while making a few new friends.
The bar is run by Nao and Stef who are long-term craft beer lovers.
Philosophy
Our focus is on people.
We love people.
This bar was built with the love of our friends.
This is why we decided on an intimate bar we people can feel at home while forging new friendships, sharing experiences and stories, and catching up on the latest news of craft beer.
We understand that brewers are often very busy people and it’s sometimes difficult for them to convey the philosophy and key pints of their beer to others. We hope that we can play a part in helping others greater understand and appreciate the beverage that they find in their hands.
Beer
We have craft beer 9 taps from both Japan and around the World.
The Japanese breweries that we have selected to be on tap are from those that we have considered to be some of the best breweries that showcase the current potential of Japanese craft beer.
Our international craft beer selection is based around quality. Both Nao and Stef put on the beers that we want to drink. So we are not afraid to put on beers that are not necessarily popular with everyone even though we consider them to be exemplary of their style.
Our tap list is constantly changing and it is very rare to see the same beer twice being served. So every time you visit will be a new experience.
