MugiWait—New York beer with a Czech angle? That’s a dark lager crossing borders!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a T'mavé Pivo, a Czech-style dark lager inspired by Moravian brewing culture.
MugiT'mavé Pivo… is that a spell that makes dark beer magically appear?
Hop BroClose, but the tap handles do the magic. It means dark beer in Czech, and its charm is an easy-drinking dark profile despite the roastiness.
MugiDark but light? It looks nearly black, yet it won’t make your stomach feel like it swallowed a cannonball?
Hop BroThat’s the Moravian barley and double decoction at work. Part of the mash is boiled and returned to build deeper malt complexity.
MugiBoil part and put it back… like rescuing ingredients from a pot, then returning them for a beer-world second dip?
Hop BroThe spirit is right! It brings roast, chocolate, and gentle herbal notes, plus a creamy, crisp finish. It’s 4.9% ABV, too.
MugiPerfect slowly with food—or as a first pint at RIKRI BREWING in Takaban. Ahh, I need that tap now!
RIKRI BREWING in Takaban, Meguro, Tokyo, is featuring “Shadowboxin’” from Kills Boro Brewing Company as a guest beer.
“Shadowboxin’” is a T’mavé Pivo, or Czech-style dark lager, brewed as a tribute to Moravian brewing traditions. Moravian barley and a double-decoction process bring out layered malt character and gentle roast complexity. The beer carries an ABV of 4.9%.
In the glass, it pours a deep brown, nearly black, with aromas of roasted malt, soft chocolate, and subtle herbal notes. The palate is lightly bodied and smooth, balancing chocolate-like malt richness and roast with restrained herbal bitterness. A crisp finish keeps the beer refreshing and highly drinkable.
While dark lagers can often suggest a heavy profile, “Shadowboxin’” is built around a lighter, more sessionable structure. It should work well alongside food or as a focused first pour for drinkers exploring traditional European-inspired lagers.
Located at 3-19-20 Takaban, Meguro, RIKRI BREWING offers a chance to enjoy its own beers alongside guest selections. Beer fans visiting the brewery can check the current tap list and availability before ordering, as guest pours may change.
