Shizuoka's MUGI Plans Another Nara Brewing Tasting Event This Year
The beer pub MUGI in Miyagasakicho, Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, is once again planning a tasting event centered on Nara Brewing. The post also announced the arrival of Nara Brewing x Kaze no Mori's "UNDERWATER," and the shop is expected to offer the chance to compare it with last year's batch.
Hop BroThe beer pub MUGI in Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, is planning another tasting event this year, this time with Nara Brewing as the main focus.
MugiWhoa! So MUGI is kind of like a liquor store where you can spend time, not just a place for beer!
Hop BroExactly. It carries craft beer, sake, hard cider, mead, and non-alcoholic drinks too, so the strength is that you can choose a wide range of drinks depending on your mood.
MugiI see! So the main highlight this time is probably UNDERWATER, right?
Hop BroThat's right. It's a collaboration label from Nara Brewing x Kaze no Mori, and MUGI sold last year's batch too, so you can enjoy comparing different years.
MugiComparing different years? Does it really change that much? I'm starting to see the phrase 'tasting rabbit hole'!
Hop BroIt does. The aroma and the way it lands on the palate differ subtly, and finding those differences is what makes year-over-year comparisons interesting.
MugiWow, that sounds research-like but fun! But I still only really know things like 'aroma' and 'mouthfeel'!
Hop BroThat's enough. More than technical terms, the most important thing is just sensing things like 'this one feels lighter' or 'this one has a longer finish.'
MugiHearing that makes me feel better! And since the details haven't been announced yet, waiting for more news is exciting too.
Hop BroYeah, while following Nara Brewing's current direction through this year's lineup, we should also be able to appreciate MUGI's breadth. This is definitely something to toast to while waiting for the next update.
MugiI can't wait! This year too, I want one beer at MUGI with Nara Brewing, no, make that two!
Compare Nara Brewing at MUGI
The beer pub MUGI in Miyagasakicho, Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, is once again planning a tasting event centered on Nara Brewing. The shop is a "liquor store where you can spend time" that carries a wide range of drinks, from craft beer to sake, hard cider, mead, and non-alcoholic drinks, and its appeal lies in its generous breadth, able to accommodate anything from a casual drink to a more serious tasting comparison.
The first label confirmed in the post is Nara Brewing x Kaze no Mori's "UNDERWATER." MUGI also sold last year's batch of this label, making it possible to enjoy comparing the same drink across different years. This time, since the event is announced as being "centered on Nara Brewing," it looks set to be a tasting event focused on a lineup that conveys the company's character, comparing differences in aroma and taste.
At this point, the date, time, and detailed lineup have not been announced, but the MUGI post also notes that "this year there will be no release of α8 from Kaze no Mori." While varying the angle between regular offerings and limited releases, this should be an event to watch as a way to follow what Nara Brewing is doing now.
What to look for
- Compare Nara Brewing beers side by side
- Check the impression of "UNDERWATER" across different years
- Enjoy it together with MUGI's broad selection of drinks
