Hop BroMOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku 6-chome has a new tap from Brew Classic. It has a spring-like beer pub feel, and I like the idea of enjoying the back-and-forth between food and beer.
MugiWhoa, just hearing "spring beer lineup" makes me hungry! What beers are on the list?
Hop BroThe star is Brew Classic's West Coast IPA - Let's La Pause, with a dank citrus aroma layered with grapefruit and passion fruit.
MugiWhat even is dank? Does dank in IPA mean the beer is wet?
Hop BroNo, no, it means a deep aroma with piney, herbal notes. It also has an old-school profile, so it really has that classic West Coast IPA character.
MugiNice! And if they also have OHLOY brewing's Raspberry Sour Luv and Riso, you can pick based on your mood.
Hop BroExactly. The other one, Riso, is a Rice Lager w/ Hassaku, with a light body and a bright hassaku citrus accent. The shop's recommended dish is the Mexican steak with domestic beef and a house-made spice BBQ sauce.
MugiWait, a Mexican steak with domestic beef!? It sounds like it works with either IPA or sour beer, and my stomach is completely voting on this...
Hop BroThat vote is the right one. MOONRISE KINGDOM has 3 domestic draft taps and 30 imported bottles, and it's easy to use from noon to 11 p.m., so you can take your time tasting through them.
MugiThen I want to spend the spring evening in Nishi-Shinjuku lingering while going back and forth between the glass and the food! Today I'm in the mood to go out for beer too!
