Mugibaru in West Kamata shares its current tap list, led by Muga Muchu and Sakekasu HAZY IPA
Mugibaru, a beer pub in West Kamata, Tokyo, posted on Instagram that raw material costs will rise from October. The post also revealed the current taps and upcoming beers, with a lineup that spans hazy IPA, DIPA, fruit ale, and radler.
Hop BroThe latest tap list at Mugi Bar in Nishi-Kamata is seriously tempting. They announced raw material price increases from October and still showed off the five beers currently on tap.
MugiWait, what! Price hikes sting, but dropping the five beers on tap today at the same time is unfair. Now I want a pint immediately!
Hop BroThe first thing that jumps out is Isekadoya Beer's Sakekasu HAZY IPA. Pair that with engawa yukke and the temptation level gets dangerous fast.
MugiWhat is that! A sakekasu hazy... is it sake, or is it beer? My brain is lost before the first sip!
Hop BroIt's definitely beer. A hazy IPA is cloudy and super aromatic, and when sake lees add ginjo-like esters, it gets softer and more floral.
MugiWhoa, hold on, what even is an ester!? Why did this suddenly turn into chemistry class while I'm just trying to drink?
Hop BroSimple version: it's the kind of aroma that reads like fruit or flowers. That's why Shiga Kogen Beer's Muga Muchu Hazy IPA is the sort of pint that's fun to sniff as much as drink.
MugiAnd today they've also got Y.Market Brewing's Project DIPA 8%, right? If that's a w-IPA, my self-control is about to clock out early!
Hop BroExactly, and next to that you've got Hime Beer's Hyuganatsu fruit ale, COEDO's Marihana session IPA, and Asahi's Jukusen pilsner. With 2% to 8% ABV, you can build a whole night from light to big.
MugiNow that's a lineup. If it goes from fruit ale to pilsner and IPA, it's basically a ready-made tasting flight. I like that it doesn't feel intimidating.
Hop BroAnd the NEXT list is stacked too: Hysteric IPA, Mata Ashita Hazy IPA, North Island Beer's I.P.A, and even Isekadoya's Meyer Lemon Radler waiting in the wings.
MugiThat's it, I want to make a beeline for Nishi-Kamata. Start with Muga Muchu, finish with the radler, and just stare at the taps at Mugi Bar all night!
