2nd Anniversary Hazy on Tap at Mugibaru in Kamata, with an IPA-Heavy Lineup Including VERTERE
Tokyo's Nishi-Kamata beer pub "Mugibaru" updated its latest tap information. Anchored by Tokaido Beer’s 2nd anniversary hazy, the lineup is IPA-centered and features VERTERE, Y.Market Brewing, and Ise Kadoya Beer. Uchu Brewing and DD4D are lined up for the next taps, making this a great set for side-by-side comparison.
Hop BroMugibaru, the beer pub in Kamata, has updated its taps. The star is Tokaido Beer’s 2nd Anniversary Hazy, and that’s exactly the kind of first pint that gets you excited for the night.
MugiWait, there’s a shop dog too!? But "please watch without touching" is such a strict watch-and-enjoy style. Cute, but also a test!
Hop BroThat’s part of Mugibaru’s charm. The atmosphere is soft and relaxed, but the beer is seriously dialed in, and even with a dog-friendly interior, the lineup is pretty adventurous.
MugiLook at this, kinako-colored fluffy already sounds delicious! A Hazy IPA at 6% - can something be fluffy and still have real presence?
Hop BroExactly. Tokaido Beer’s Hazy IPA at 6% often leans into haze and hop aroma while keeping bitterness on the softer side. The kinako-like description also brings to mind sweet malt notes.
MugiHold on, what is dry hopping? It sounds like some ritual where you throw in dry hops and suddenly the brewery becomes a magic circle!
Hop BroI’m not against a magic circle. Simply put, it’s a method of adding hops after heating to bring out aroma, and since Mugibaru’s current taps are IPA-centered, comparing how the aroma comes through is the fun part.
MugiGot it! And they’ve got VERTERE’s Efrencia, Y.Market Brewing’s BLITZ SESSION IPA, and Ise Kadoya Beer’s Struggle IPA too - it’s a hop festival!
Hop BroAnd it’s smart that they’ve mixed in a 4.5% session IPA and a pilsner like Asahi’s Jukusen. It’s a lineup that won’t tire you out, so you can enjoy it properly from start to finish.
MugiAnd if there’s garlic butter potatoes, it’s basically unbeatable! Plus the next taps are Uchu Brewing’s GOLEM and DD4D’s Marmalade Man, so now I’m itching to come back!
