MugiWhat! That already sounds dangerous in the best way. What are they pouring?
Hop BroOne is Solandra, an American IPA, and the other is Eugenia, an NZ IPA.
MugiHold on, NZ IPA sounds like a secret spell. What does that even mean?!
Hop BroNZ means New Zealand, so it usually points to New Zealand hop character leading the aroma.
MugiOhhh, so Eugenia might have that bright Southern Hemisphere vibe in the aroma?
Hop BroExactly, and both beers sound like hop-forward drinking in that classic VERTERE style.
MugiI already want one. And MOONRISE KINGDOM has four kinds of tacos too? That's unfair!
Hop BroShrimp, carnitas, spiced chicken, beef birria... it's basically a full team of beer partners.
MugiAnd they also have three domestic drafts plus thirty cans? The sheer pressure of choice is incredible.
Hop BroThey even mention WC IPA, hoppy Pilsner, and clean Lager, so it's a perfect Shinjuku night lineup.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. Now I want to compare Solandra and Eugenia and toast with tacos.
