July 1, 2026
Mugibaru, a beer pub in Nishikamata, Tokyo, shared its July draft list and summer food menu on Instagram. The post highlights Uchu Brewing's Uchu Lager, a Japanese-style summer vegetable pickle plate, and a lineup that spans fruit ale, double IPA, hazy IPA, and pilsner.

Kamata's Mugibaru is starting July with real momentum. The headline is Uchu Lager on tap, and they even rolled out a summer food menu.

Wait, Uchu Lager already sounds intense! Does it taste like space? Did they melt a star into it?
Hop Bro
No stars were harmed. It's a lager from Uchu Brewing, and the appeal is that clean, crisp drinkability. Pair that with Japanese-style summer pickles, and that's a smart move.
Mugi
That sounds ridiculously refreshing! The beer is the star, but the light snack pairing is dialed in too. That's a very dangerous pub, in the best way.

And the tap lineup has range. Isekadoya's Ohisama Ale is an XPA style, Hansharo's Kyo mo Manten is a Hazy IPA, and Brasserie Knot's MOON is a Double IPA.
Mugi
Hold on, XPA style sounds like a cheat code. If I say it three times, does a pint appear in my hand?
Hop Bro
If only. XPA means Extra Pale Ale, and think of it as easygoing bitterness with bright aroma, kind of a friendly doorway into hoppier beer.
Mugi
Ohh, got it! Then what about Hazy IPA? The name gives off cloudy juice energy, but is it actually beer-beer?
Hop Bro
Very much so. It looks cloudy, but the texture is soft and the aroma really blooms. And Mugibaru is also dog-friendly seating, which makes it even easier to drop in.
Mugi
That's too good. First Uchu Lager, then maybe an orange-forward fruit ale... now I seriously want to do a Kamata tap crawl tonight.
