MugiWait, it stays open that long on a holiday!? So that means you can already start drinking from the start of the three-day weekend!

MugiWhat even is that? What’s the difference between a pale ale and a double IPA!? Bitter but easy to drink sounds like a lot to take in!
Hop BroIn short, Africa Pale Ale has a nice balance of aroma and bitterness, and the phrase "a bitterness you can drink again and again" fits it perfectly.
MugiOhhh! So DROP KICK sounds aggressive from the name, but it’s actually a double IPA with an easy-drinking, clear finish!
Hop BroExactly. It’s not just rich and heavy - it has a clean shape to it, so it goes down smoothly. On the house side, there’s also Kick Off Pils and HAZY CELEBRATION, so the range is wide.
MugiHold on, those names are way too strong! Raspberry Light sounds sweet, and HAZY means cloudy, right!?
Hop BroExactly. It’s all there, from lager-like lightness to the density of hazy beers. The guest lineup is fun too, with Sorachi Super Kamuy, Minoh’s Sansho W-IPA, and even FAMENTRY’s IPA.
MugiWait, even sansho pepper!? It’s a traffic jam from bitters to IPAs, and now I can’t decide what to drink first or what to finish with!
Hop BroIt’s also nice to finish with Shiga Kogen’s porter and settle down, or linger while pairing beers with food. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to spend the day on craft beer all the way in Kita-Urawa.
MugiYeah, this is definitely a place to go! I want to raise a glass in Kita-Urawa and start with Africa Pale Ale first!
