At Mugibaru in Kamata, six IPAs including COEDO's "Marihana" and WCB's "Summer Breeze" are on tap
The beer pub Mugibaru in Kamata, Tokyo, announced a tap lineup centered on IPAs. COEDO's "Marihana," Vertere's "Magnolia," and West Coast Brewing's "Summer Breeze" were among the beers listed, with the lineup potentially expanding further depending on keg turnover.
Hop BroMugibaru in Kamata is going pretty hard with an IPA-centered tap lineup. Seeing COEDO's "Marihana," Vertere's "Magnolia," and even West Coast Brewing's "Summer Breeze" on the board means today is basically a feast for hop lovers.
MugiWait, six kinds of IPA? Just the names sound delicious, and being able to compare that many at one place is way too luxurious, isn't it?
Hop BroAnd "Marihana" is a Session IPA at 4.5%, light and easy, while "Magnolia" is a Double IPA at 8% with real depth, and "Summer Breeze" is a DDH Hazy IPA, so it brings a strong layer of aroma too.
MugiDDH sounds like some kind of spell! It's less like beer and more like a secret hop society, and my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroDDH stands for double dry hop. It means adding a big dose of hops again after fermentation to push the aroma forward more than the bitterness, and it's an important technique for creating the juiciness of a hazy IPA.
MugiOhhh! So "Summer Breeze" is the kind that leads with aroma. And with fruit-forward options like "Minamichita BLOOD ORANGE IPA," it's nice that you can choose based on your mood!
Hop BroExactly. IPAs are the main attraction right now, but having fruit ales waiting in the wings is very Mugibaru. They've got things like Yellow Monkey Brewing's "Godzone Beat" and Ise Kadoya Beer's "Hat Trick" lined up too, so the scene changes every time the keg rotates.
MugiAnd food-wise, iburigakko potato salad!? That has to be amazing with strongly aromatic hops. The moment it lands next to the beer, it already looks like a winner!
Hop BroThat combination really connects the bitterness of the hops with the smoky richness. In the Kamata Station area, with the easygoing vibe of being dog-friendly, it's a perfect spot to drop in and pick one beer at a time.
MugiI can't stop wanting to do a tasting flight! If we go from Marihana to Magnolia to Summer Breeze in order, we'd basically be the Kamata IPA exploration team!
Hop BroThat's the plan then, a night of IPAs in Kamata. The fun of Mugibaru is finding a new glass every time the keg changes, and this is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to go see for yourself.
