Mugibaru in Kamata Publishes a New Tap List Featuring Shiga Kogen and Yellow Monkey Brewing
Mugibaru, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, has shared its latest tap lineup on Instagram. The list spans Shiga Kogen's "Shinshu Heian," Yellow Monkey Brewing's barrel-aged IPA, and fruit-forward options from Hime Beer.
Hop BroKamata's latest Mugibaru taps are looking seriously good today. They've got Shiga Kogen and even Yellow Monkey Brewing on, and the range is really well balanced.
MugiWhat! This lineup in Kamata is stacked. What kind of beers are on tap?
Hop BroThe first one that jumps out is Shiga Kogen Beer's Shinshu Heion Fruit IPA. It's 5%, easy to drink, but still pushes fruit character and hop aroma right up front.
MugiWhoa, but Fruit IPA means what exactly? Is it sweet like juice? I thought IPA was the style that makes you squint dramatically.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. You get hop bitterness layered with fruity aroma and a bit of bright acidity. It's not syrupy sweet, more vivid and crisp.
MugiNo way, bitter but refreshing? My brain needs a timeout.
Hop BroThen there's Yellow Monkey Brewing's barrel-aged IPA at 9.5%. Aging it in a barrel can add deeper notes, like wood, vanilla, or spirit-like character.
MugiWait, barrel aging means it sleeps underground for years or something? That's full beer aristocracy.
Hop BroNot quite that dramatic, but it's a technique for building extra flavor through the barrel. And Hime Beer’s Hyuganatsu Fruit Ale is only 2%, plus Minoh Beer's Osaru IPA and Asahi Jukusen give the list a wide spread.
MugiSo it has easy sips to adventure picks all in one place! There's also a four-snack plate, and if dogs are welcome, I want to stop by after a walk.
Hop BroAnd the next-keg preview already mentions Y.Market Brewing's Hysteric IPA and Isekadoya's Meyer Lemon Radler. It's the kind of pub that makes you want to keep tracking tap changes.
MugiI'm fully in flight tasting mode now. I want to run to Kamata and start with Shinshu Heion, then work my way up to the barrel-aged IPA.
