MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku lists Siesta, Days Over and Jacaranda on tap
MOONRISE KINGDOM, a beer pub in Nishi-Shinjuku, has shared its latest tap list alongside a Sunday opening note. Drafts include Karuizawa Q's Siesta, Black Tide Brewing's Days Over, and Y.Market Brewing's Jacaranda, with new arrivals from Portland, Oregon.
Hop BroWest Shinjuku just got interesting, because MOONRISE KINGDOM posted its latest taps along with the 7/25 service update.
MugiWait, three beers on draft already sounds dangerous! What are they pouring?
Hop BroFirst up, Karuizawa Q's Siesta is a Mexican Lager with lime and sudachi. Super crisp, super citrusy, super easy to imagine disappearing fast.
MugiWhoa, Mexican lager sounds like a beer wearing a huge hat and walking into the room!
Hop BroThat image rules, but no. Mexican lager usually means a light, clean, easy-drinking lager style, and here the lime and sudachi crank up the refreshment.
MugiOkay, got it! Then what about BLACK TIDE BREWING's Days Over? That name already feels like post-work relief.
Hop BroExactly, and it fits the lineup as an easy-drinking lager kind of pick, the one that keeps your glass mysteriously empty.
MugiAnd then Y.MARKET BREWING's Jacaranda is a summer IPA? The lineup just turned into a beach episode.
Hop BroPretty much. Jacaranda leans on hop aroma, so it's about enjoying those bright fragrant notes, and there are also fresh arrivals from Portland's Little Beast Brewing and Level Beer with lager, IPA, and hazy options.
MugiWhat is that, hazy has arrived too? My brain is ordering a flight before I even sit down! And 30 domestic and imported bottles is ridiculous.
Hop BroIt gets worse in the best way, because they've got burritos, tacos, beef birria, and cold cappellini too. Carnitas tacos with Siesta, then Jacaranda later, sounds like the correct life choice.
MugiThat settles it. West Shinjuku right now sounds like the move, because I absolutely want to start with Siesta and keep tasting from there.
