MugiTen beers?! That sounds like a serious tasting mission! Is it friendly for craft-beer beginners too?
Hop BroAbsolutely. And Beer and Mitaka Yamaneko Brewery’s Azarashi Pilsner Okawari is a crisp 5.5% pilsner—a great place to begin.
MugiThat name already makes me want another! But what is Rauch? It sounds like magic and maybe a little intimidating!
Hop BroFuji Sakura Kogen’s Rauch uses smoked malt. In plain terms, it’s beer with smoky aromas—sometimes reminiscent of bacon, in the best way.
MugiBeer that smells like bacon?! What?! That’s a snack-pairing superpower. It must be great with the limited Tsushima-style pork and vegetable stir-fry!
Hop BroExactly. Shiga Kogen’s Shinshu Heion Hazy IPA also has apple in it. “Hazy” means the beer is cloudy and often has a soft, juicy-feeling texture.
MugiWow! But I think IPA means bitter. A cloudy apple IPA is more flavor information than my brain can sip at once!
Hop BroYou can still enjoy the hop aroma, while the fruit character may make it approachable. Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen Kawanakajima is another lovely choice for fruit fans.
MugiPeach, apple, and smoke—this is a flavor amusement park! What about people who love dark beer?
Hop BroUshitora’s “Nigasou de Nigakunai” is a Schwarz, a dark beer with an easygoing finish. Minoh Beer’s KANSHA29 is also an IPA with rice koji, so the ingredients get wonderfully nerdy.
MugiI want chili beans while staring at all ten taps! Since some seats are reserved after 7 p.m., let’s book early and cheers, Hop Bro!
