Mugibaru in Kamata posts a tap list featuring Hokkaido Beer’s Melon Ale
Mugibaru, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, shared its current tap lineup on Instagram. The list starts with Hokkaido Beer’s Melon Ale and also includes beers from Isekadoya Beer, Minoh Beer, Sankt Gallen, COEDO, Yellow Monkey Brewing, and DD4D.
Hop BroMugibaru in Kamata has a seriously fun tap list right now. It starts with Hokkaido Bakushu's Melon Ale, and the whole lineup fans out from there.
MugiWait, a melon beer? That sounds like dessert crashed into happy hour, and I am not complaining!
Hop BroThe clever part is the six-draft lineup. You've got fruity pours like Ohisama Ale and Pineapple Ale, then Minoh Beer's W-IPA, and even Asahi Jukusen for a classic finish.
MugiHold on, what even is W-IPA? The second the alphabet doubled, my brain turned into foam!
Hop BroThe W means double, so think extra-hopped IPA. More bitterness, more aroma, more body, but the malt keeps it from going off the rails.
MugiOhh, so this is built for a tasting route where you start easy and end with the big punchy one?
Hop BroExactly. Go Melon Ale or Pineapple Ale first, slide through Nekojima and Ohisama Ale, then land on W-IPA or Jukusen for a drink-in-order flow that works with food.
MugiAnd they tagged it dog-friendly too? A post-walk pint with a dog at your feet is almost unfairly powerful.
Hop BroThe next keg candidates are no joke either. COEDO Kyara, DD4D Hazy IPA, St. Gallen Chou Shonan Gold, and even Yellow Monkey Brewing's Barrel Aged Imperial IPA are waiting in the wings.
MugiWhat is this, a trap for my wallet? The next taps look stacked, and now I want to drink now and come back later.
Hop BroFor a slow session in Kamata, a place that pours fruit ales and IPA side by side on the same day is hard to beat. I'm already picturing the counter at Mugibaru.
MugiI'm fully in. Let's toast with Melon Ale first and march all the way to W-IPA with a Kamata beer crawl plan tonight.
