VERTERE's Magnolia DIPA and Passiflora Hazy IPA Arrive at MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku
At MOONRISE KINGDOM, a beer pub in Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo, the March 27 service introduced two beers from VERTERE in Okutama: Magnolia DIPA and Passiflora Hazy IPA. With three domestic beers on tap and 30 imported bottled beers available inside, the bar is suggesting a pint well suited to a spring weekend.
Hop BroVERTERE's Magnolia DIPA and Passiflora Hazy IPA have arrived at MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku. They feel perfect for spring air, two beers that really let their aroma do the talking.
MugiWhoa! Just hearing DIPA and Hazy IPA sounds powerful already! What are those, beers that require you to steel yourself before drinking?
Hop BroA DIPA is a double IPA, with a strong hop aroma and plenty of body. A Hazy IPA is cloudy in appearance, and its charm is that juicy mouthfeel.
MugiHuh! But doesn't "cloudy" mean it's somehow unfinished? A beer that looks like an overcast sky makes me a little worried!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Hazy beers are sometimes intentionally not heavily filtered. Malt, yeast, and hop compounds remain, which often gives them a soft, rounded mouthfeel.
MugiI see! And MOONRISE KINGDOM has three domestic beers on tap and 30 imported bottled beers, right? Just choosing sounds like it could end the night by itself!
Hop BroExactly. The strength is that you can enjoy the guest beers while still drinking a wide range of styles. And the food is great too, with things like BBQ Mexican steak and the MOONRISE burrito to pair with your drinks.
MugiWait, it's a beer pub but the food is serious too! Ceviche-style carpaccio and shrimp ajillo too? This is completely designed for lingering!
Hop BroWhat's more, they announced it for the March 27 service, so it's a suggestion timed for the spring hanami mood. And it connects nicely to the VERTERE Anniversary Festival on April 18 and 19.
MugiI can't take it anymore, just reading this makes me want a drink! This is the kind of place that makes you want to have a spring toast in Nishi-Shinjuku and then head straight to the festival too!

On the food side, the recommended dishes include BBQ Mexican steak, fresh fish ceviche-style carpaccio, MOONRISE quesadilla, sizzling shrimp ajillo, MOONRISE burrito, and homemade Bolognese pasta. The menu is substantial enough to pair with beer, making it easy to use the place for a drinking-focused night or a meal-focused one. Hours are lunch from 12:00 to 14:30 and dinner from 17:30 to 23:00 (last order at 22:00).
The pub also says it plans to take part in the VERTERE Anniversary Festival -10th Anniversary- to be held in Okutama on April 18 and 19, with a Special Food offering of burritos and tacos. You can see a path from enjoying VERTERE inside the pub to carrying that excitement on to the festival itself.
