Mugibal in Kamata lists Uchu Brewing’s Grand Cross and seven taps
Mugibal, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, shared its latest tap lineup in an Instagram post dated June 16. The list features Uchu Brewing’s Grand Cross and Sirius, plus IPA, fruit ale, and pilsner options.
Hop BroMugi Bar in Kamata looks like an Uchu Brewing showcase today. Their June 16 tap post leads with Grand Cross and Sirius, and the lineup is seriously strong.
MugiWhat! Grand Cross sounds like a final boss attack. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s presented like the headline pour, and putting Sirius right next to it gives the whole list that Uchu presence.
MugiHold on, Hazy IPA always sounds like science class to me. What does hazy even mean?
Hop BroHazy basically means a cloudy IPA style. You get big hop aroma and juicy flavor, so a 7% beer like Uchu Brewing’s Sirius can still drink pretty smoothly.
MugiOhh! Then Rainy Jacket from Y.Market, that 6.5% American IPA, must feel pretty different from Sirius, right?
Hop BroExactly. Rainy Jacket and Full Throttle lean into crisp hop bitterness, while MOON from Brasserie Knot is a 7% Double IPA, so it brings more weight.
MugiNo way, and then Hime Beer shows up with a blood orange fruit ale at 2%? That range is wild.
Hop BroThat’s Mugi Bar doing its job. They even add Asahi Jukusen, a pilsner, for a beginner-friendly spread, and then throw in fried horse mackerel with shibazuke tartar.
MugiWhat is that! Fried horse mackerel with tartar next to IPA and pilsner? I’d freeze in front of the taps just thinking about it.
Hop BroIf you start with the pilsner or fruit ale and move into Sirius and MOON, you get a perfect tasting route. And Green Bullet hazy is up next, too.
MugiThat’s it, now I need a trip to Mugi Bar and I want to start with Grand Cross.
