Mugibaru to End Motsunabe at the End of March, Announces Seven Labels Including Tokaido Beer Anniversary IPA
The beer pub Mugibaru in Nishikamata, Tokyo, has updated its latest serving information on Instagram. Motsunabe will end at the end of this month, and the post hints that jingisukan will return from April. Along with today’s taps and the next planned openings, a lineup was announced that includes several IPAs, mainly from domestic breweries.
Hop BroMugibaru’s latest tap info in Kamata is seriously hot. Motsunabe ends at the end of this month, and there’s a hint that jingisukan is coming back from April.
MugiWait, I came here to talk about beer, and the motsunabe ending notice hits first?! And jingisukan is coming back too? That’s way too much to keep up with!
Hop BroBut the star is definitely the beer. Today, Melon Ale is at the front, and a whole lineup of IPAs is arranged after it, so it’s irresistible for anyone who likes tasting side by side.
MugiOh! But what are these IPA groups? When I hear IPA, it sounds like some kind of powerful secret weapon, and I get excited!
Hop BroIPA stands for India Pale Ale, and it’s a style where hop aroma takes center stage. It tends to bring bitterness, citrus, and tropical notes, and even looking at the shop’s taps, it’s all about personality.
MugiI see! So Tokaido Beer’s commemorative brew must be a pretty serious one. Even the name, 'Mugibaru 2nd Anniversary Kinako-Colored Fluffy Hazy,' is so fluffy it feels like you’re drinking a cloud!
Hop BroExactly. Just like the name kinako-colored fluffy, you can imagine the hazy style’s soft cloudiness and smoothness. And with VERTERE’s Effrencia, Y.Market’s BLITZ SESSION IPA, and Ise Kadoya’s Struggle IPA all on the list, the regions and characters are all over the map in a fun way.
MugiWhoa, SESSION IPA again! Does that mean it’s not a session meeting, but the kind you can keep drinking lightly, one after another?
Hop BroThat’s right. It’s an easy-drinking IPA, so it still has bitterness but isn’t too heavy, and if you slip in Asahi’s Jukusen in between, it resets your palate nicely.
MugiThen I want to start with the hazy, move to the session, and finish with Jukusen! And once jingisukan starts again in April, I’ll have to come back with beer in hand!
