MugiWow, even the names are cute! And "Wakakusa" and "Warm Up" sound so different that now I'm curious!
Hop BroFirst up, "Wakakusa" is an NZ Pilsner. It keeps the crispness of a pilsner at its core, while New Zealand hops add a fresh, elegant expression that makes it both refined and easy to drink.
MugiNZ Pilsner? Wait, what's NZ? This suddenly feels like geography class!
Hop BroNZ means New Zealand. So the New Zealand hops give it a citrusy edge, which blends with the noble hops' classy aroma to create something light, but still distinctive.
MugiI get it now! So "Wakakusa" sounds like something you could drink dry and refreshingly in one smooth go.
Hop BroExactly. On the other hand, "Warm Up" is a Hazy IPA at ABV 6.0%. It's a juicy, classic hazy beer with citrus layered over tropical fruit.
MugiOh wow! Just hearing "hazy" makes me think of something cloudy and rich, but is it the kind of beer for people who want both aroma and drinkability?
Hop BroExactly. It has plenty of aromatic depth, and you can really enjoy the fruity hop character, so it's the kind of beer that lifts your mood with the very first sip.
MugiBar FUKURO sounds amazing too, with that easygoing one-drink-friendly vibe in Kamata. And with Kamado Brewery's Tap Takeover on May 22 and 23, I kind of want to keep coming back!
Hop BroThat means there's really no choice but to go now. Start with the light, crisp Wakakusa, finish with the juicy Warm Up, and you'll be talking about beer all the way home.
