Mukubaru in Kamata: Today's Tap Guide Featuring Uchu Brewing's 'Uchuu ALE'
The beer pub "Mugubaru" in Nishi-Kamata, Ota-ku, Tokyo, has released today's beers. The lineup includes Uchu Brewing's 'Uchuu ALE' and 'GOLEM', along with VERTERE, DD4D, Ise Kadoya Brewery, and more, and it also includes the pub's original beer brewed for its anniversary.
Hop BroMugubaru in Kamata has a pretty hot today's tap guide today. Uchu Brewing's 'Uchuu ALE', plus VERTERE and DD4D are all lined up, and just the atmosphere at the counter is enough to make your throat go dry.
MugiWhoa! That lineup looks strong from the jump! Just from the name Uchuu ALE, it sounds like you're about to blast off into space, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a very Uchu Brewing-style beer, with a boldly expressive aroma. As the lead says, it starts by drawing you in with a fruity pint, then keeps you wanting to keep drinking.
MugiWow. But with all these terms like 'Hazy IPA' and 'DDH West Coast IPA,' my brain is just foam right now. What's DDH, exactly?
Hop BroDDH stands for double dry hopping, a method that adds a lot of hops after fermentation to intensify the aroma. That's why 'GOLEM' has a rich hop aroma, with citrus and pine notes that really jump forward.
MugiI see! So 'Mugubaru 2nd Anniversary kinako-colored fluffy hazy' sounds sweet and tasty just from the name! A brew for an anniversary really does feel special!
Hop BroExactly. That Tokaido Beer release has the murky body and soft mouthfeel you'd expect from a Hazy IPA. The 'kinako-colored' description is great too; you can imagine the soft, fluffy texture just from looking at it.
MugiAnd then there's 'Marmalade Man' and 'Struggle IPA' - the names are already way too characterful! But having motsu tofu on the food menu suddenly makes it feel so real-life, and I love that!
Hop BroThat's one of the best things about Mugubaru. The lineup is adventurous on the craft side, but you can also enjoy a proper meal with the snacks, so it works for people who just want one quick drink and for people settling in to drink for a while.
MugiAnd the rule about 'one food item and one drink per person' makes total sense. They're clearly operating it as a proper food-and-drink spot, and the house rules are nicely clear!
Hop BroExactly. And having a pilsner like 'Jukusen' is nice because it resets your palate after all that hop assault. At the end, you have to decide whether to finish with a classic or go for one more.
MugiAnd with dogs welcome too, it's amazing for just dropping by in Kamata! Seeing a tap list like this makes me want to run out for a beer right now!
Hop BroBottom line, Kamata is the place to be today. If the taps run from 'Uchuu ALE' to 'GOLEM', then both I and Mugi are giving off the feeling that tonight won't end with just one drink.
