MugiFive kinds?! That's a perfect tasting chance!
Hop BroThe star is SNOW MONKEY IPA, packed with grapefruit and tropical aromas for hop lovers.
MugiI picture IPA as bitter, but tropical aromas make it sound much friendlier!
Hop BroThose fruity notes come mainly from hops. It is the fun of hop aroma compounds, you know.
MugiAroma compounds...? We suddenly entered a lab! Beer is for drinking, right?!
Hop BroAbsolutely. In plain terms, they are what create that lovely smell when you bring your nose to the glass.
MugiOh, I get it! SNOW MONKEY for aroma, while Helles!? and Africa Pale Ale sound great for something lighter.
Hop BroExactly. And Cask Finished Pils!? is a pilsner aged in French oak, which makes it a delightful curveball.
MugiA pilsner in a barrel?! So beer can pick up woody character too!
Hop BroYes—wood and maturation notes give it a different side from an ordinary pilsner. ENGI!? rounds out the Shiga Kogen lineup, too.
MugiAnd there are coffee lagers and bourbon-barrel beers on tap! Comparing aroma and body could keep us there all night!
Hop BroCraft Beer Scissors Akihabara offers both on-site pours and takeout. Tonight, let's begin with a Shiga Kogen pint.
MugiDeal! Let's smell that SNOW MONKEY IPA and toast in Akihabara!
