Mugiya Pogology in Osaka refreshes its 14 taps, with Nara Brewing and Minoh Beer on the lineup
The beer pub "Mugiya Pogology" in Osaka's Chuo Ward announced today's tap list on Instagram. The lineup includes 14 labels from Japan and abroad, such as Oni Densetsu, Nara Brewing, Shiga Kogen Beer, and Minoh Beer, along with notice of the shop closing on April 7 and the manager's birthday on April 9.
Hop BroToday, the 14 taps at Mugiya Pogology in Osaka's Andoji-cho are hot. A lineup of domestic and imported labels is arrayed there, and just looking at it makes your mouth water.
MugiWhat, 14 taps!? With that many on offer, the menu board alone feels like enough to fill you up! With 14 labels from Japan and abroad, where do I even start?
Hop BroThe first things that catch the eye are Oni Densetsu's Shishigami Oni IPA, Nara Brewing's CHARM, and Shiga Kogen Beer's SNOW MONKEY IPA. It's classic Pogology, with popular breweries all lined up.
MugiHuh, I see IPA all the time, but what's actually different about it? Every time I hear IPA or pale ale, my stomach starts growling!
Hop BroIn broad terms, IPA has a strong hop presence, while pale ale is a little easier to drink and lighter in aroma. This lineup also has beers like BEATSSEEKER and Blooming IPA that are all about hop character.
MugiWhat's that, they're going wild just from the names! And there's even HONEY SAISON and LIGHTHOUSE I nitro ver.? Saison and nitro styles suddenly feel like a world for advanced drinkers!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: saison's appeal is the spicy character from the yeast, and nitro gives a fine foam and a smooth mouthfeel. Being able to enjoy the changes in mouthfeel is one of this lineup's strengths.
MugiSo it's not just the taste, but the appearance and mouthfeel too! And having two Minoh Beers is more than I could ask for! Kansai breweries are well represented - the local teams are super reliable!
Hop BroExactly. In addition to Minoh Beer's HONEY SAISON and Blooming IPA, they've got Brasserie Knot, WEST COAST BREWING, Beppu Brewery, and even Behemoth. The breadth of origins is a major highlight too.
MugiBut what I really want to know is, what's happening to the shop on April 7? If I go all the way there and it's closed, I'd cry! I need to remember that the shop is closed on April 7!
Hop BroThat's right, it's closed on April 7 for training, and April 9 is the manager's birthday. If you time it for the open days and go drink when Kyun is there, the tap list and the mood will both be at their best.
MugiAll right, I'll start with CHARN... no, CHARM! And at the end, I want to toast with a beer in hand to an around-the-birthday drink!
