Mukuraf taps Sankt Gallen 'Shonan Gold'; WestCoastBrewing and GOODHOPS bottles also well stocked
The beer pub Mukuraf in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo, has unveiled its latest tap list. The newest tap is Sankt Gallen 'Shonan Gold,' and the bottle selection is broad, with WestCoastBrewing, GOODHOPS, Brasserie Knot, and more among the offerings.
Hop BroMukuraf in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo, updated its tap info, and first up is Sankt Gallen 'Shonan Gold'. It's the one with a gentle springlike citrus aroma, and it's a very strong opener.
MugiWait, Shonan Gold can become beer!? I get using the fruit itself, but what do you mean by using the peel too? This isn't a juice bar, right?
Hop BroThe thing is, using both the fruit and the peel brings out not just the aroma, but also a light bitterness and lingering finish. Fruit ales aren't just sweet; what's interesting is how the aroma can create a bright spring feel.
MugiOh! Then does today's tap list item, Banana Weizen, actually have bananas in it? The names suddenly sound like desserts, and this drinks meeting is getting confusing!
Hop BroNot actual bananas, but the aroma from the yeast often comes across as banana-like. A weizen like Nomcraft's 'Banana Kick' is all about enjoying that aromatic illusion.
MugiSo that's the one where your brain spots the banana first! And names like HOP IDOL-STRATA and Raven already sound powerful and exciting!
Hop BroKyoto Brewing's 'HOP IDOL-STRATA' is an IPA, and FLORA FERMENTATION's 'Raven' is a West Coast IPA. The former is the type that puts hop character front and center, while the latter has a crisp edge and bitterness that make it easy to pair with food.
MugiWhat, a West Coast IPA really has that much more snap? And with WestCoastBrewing bottles stacked up like that, it's practically a hop theme park!
Hop BroExactly. There are so many bottles that you'd call it a fully stocked WestCoastBrewing lineup. With 'No Ketchup,' 'Triple Cone,' 'FullHopAlchemist r7,' 'Hop Fua,' and 'Time Slip' all available, you can play with the spectrum from hazy to hazy DIPA.
MugiWow, and it's great that bottle-only visits are welcome! If they've got Singapore chicken rice, wakatake-ni, and even a bamboo shoot and prosciutto salad to go with the beer, that's the kind of place you lose track of time in.
Hop BroThey also said there was room at the seats, and since the taps, bottles, and food are all there, Mukuraf right now is a pretty easy place to stop by. Start with Shonan Gold, move through the hazies, and finish with a meal - at that point, going out for drinks is pretty much the only option.
