MugiWhat! That name already sounds intense, and it’s based on a first-place recipe too? My expectations are skyrocketing.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It builds on the winning REPUBREW’S CUP recipe and really highlights the whole hop character.
MugiWait, what does that even mean? Does whole hop mean the hops show up to work fully assembled?
Hop BroRidiculously phrased, but close enough to be useful. Instead of breaking everything down, it keeps more of the raw ingredient feel, so you get floral and herbal aromas more clearly.
MugiOhh, so it’s not just a bitterness attack. And the beer pours a pale gold color, which already sounds refreshing.
Hop BroExactly. There’s still malt presence, but the finish is clean and dry, with the bitterness kept nicely in check.
MugiA dry finish and even a green tea-like note in the aftertaste? This beer is casually carrying two personalities.
Hop BroAnd the suggested pairing is pâté de campagne. The savory meat richness meets the hop aroma, and the finish stays light.
MugiThat’s it, I’m done for. I want that food-friendly pint at HOP MAN right now, with snacks and zero self-control.
On tap
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki's Jukkenzaka area, has tapped Repubrew's anniversary beer WHOLE HOP CITRA "BLUES". The beer is based on the recipe that won last year's REPUBREW’S CUP and highlights whole-hop character rather than loud hop flash.
In the glass, it pours pale gold. Floral and herbal notes lead the aroma, with a faint citrus layer underneath. Malt shows clearly on the palate, while the finish stays very dry with bitterness kept in check. Instead of a big punch, the beer leaves a gentle tannic edge and a calm, tea-like aftertaste.
The suggested pairing is pâté de campagne, which fits well here: the beer's dryness and herbal lift should cut through richness while keeping the finish clean. For drinkers in Chigasaki looking for a guest tap with a restrained, food-friendly profile, this is a strong pick at HOP MAN.
