Mugibaru in Kamata to keep regular Obon hours, listing 10 beers from DD4D and Yellow Monkey Brewing
Mugibaru, a beer pub in Tokyo’s Kamata area, said it plans to stay open on its usual schedule during Obon. Its Instagram post shares a tap list featuring DD4D, Yellow Monkey Brewing, Sanktgallen, COEDO, and more, ranging from hazy IPA to fruit ale.
Hop BroKamata is looking reliable this year. Beer pub Mugi-baru is open through Obon, and they posted a 10-tap lineup with DD4D and Yellow Monkey Brewing.
MugiWhat! That's perfect for the no-trip crowd... and a 10-tap lineup? That's not a cooler, that's a dream faucet!
Hop BroEven today's pours are serious: DD4D's HAZY IPA and Yellow Monkey Brewing's barrel-aged IPA are both on there, so the list comes out swinging.
MugiHold on, what's a barrel-aged IPA supposed to be!? That sounds like the final boss of beer!
Hop BroIt means the beer rested in wooden barrels to build more aroma and depth, and Imperial means stronger too, so this one brings 9.5% muscle.
MugiOhhh! So it's not all heavy hitters then, because Sankt Gallen's Chou Shonan Gold is a fruit ale, which feels way more beginner-friendly!
Hop BroExactly. COEDO's Kyara is an IPL, Asahi Jukusen is a pilsner, so they also cover easy-drinking pours and keep the range wide.
MugiIPL!? What's that, an IPA-lager mashup? The name already sounds like a science experiment!
Hop BroPretty much. You get lager-like crispness with real hop aroma, and that's the charm of India Pale Lager.
MugiAnd the NEXT list has Minoh Beer's Osaru IPA, Y.Market Brewing's Hysteric IPA, and even Isekado's Meyer Lemon Radler waiting in the wings. That's a stacked bench!
Hop BroFrom hazy IPA to radler, plus Hime Beer's 2% fruit ale, it's built for side-by-side tasting, and with chicken seseri karaage I'd want a full round right now.
MugiAnd it's dog-friendly too, which is absurdly wholesome. Now I want a mini pub crawl in one stop at Mugi-baru. Hop bro, let's start with Chou Shonan Gold!
