Two New Kegs Arrive at Nakameguro's oasis: MU and Rattle Snake Debut
At the Nakameguro beer pub Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis, Passific Brewing x SNEAKS's "MU" and Thornbridge Brewery's "Rattle Snake" have been newly announced. The shop's standing-drink style pairs well with seasonal dishes and distinctive IPAs.
Hop BroTwo new kegs have arrived at Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis in Nakameguro. Passific Brewing x SNEAKS's "MU" and Thornbridge Brewery's "Rattle Snake" both have distinct personalities, and that's what makes them interesting.
MugiWait, two kegs at once!? And it's a collab plus an overseas brewery, so that's a lot of information all at once!
Hop BroWhat's more, oasis is a standing drinks + gourmet food place, so it's casual but the food is seriously good. It's strong because you can use it for a quick beer after work or for a night when you want to keep drinking.
MugiWhat even is "Spacey Hazy IPA"!? It sounds cosmic, but what does it actually taste like?
Hop BroMU is driven by orange and mango, with a faint banana-like nuance. The oats give it a soft mouthfeel, and the hassaku peel and cardamom add a twist to the aroma.
MugiWhoa, hassaku and cardamom suddenly make it sound like food! Spices in beer too? Isn't that going a little too far?
Hop BroAnd the point is that this one was first tapped at Mori, Michi, Ichiba 2026. A beer that debuted at an event carries a bit of that现场 feeling when you drink it.
MugiSo what about the other one, Rattle Snake? Just the name makes it sound electric!
Hop BroRattle Snake is a West Coast IPA brewed with Cascade, Chinook, Centennial, and Simcoe. It starts with grapefruit and pine, then spreads into lemon, melon, and lychee, and finishes with a crisp bitterness.
MugiWow, that crisp bitterness is tempting! I'm curious about the horse mackerel and roasted eggplant carpaccio too, and now I want to head to Nakameguro for a drink tonight!
Hop BroNice, then tonight's first stop is oasis. Start with MU for a soft aromatic experience, then finish with Rattle Snake's sharp edge, and we'll be the kind of people who just can't stop wanting another drink.
Two Guest Beers at Nakameguro's oasis
At Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis (Nakameguro, Tokyo), two kegs are being featured today as New Beers. The shop's concept is "standing drinks + gourmet food = tachigochi." Its appeal lies in being able to enjoy restaurant-quality food without putting on airs.
The Beers on Tap
- Passific Brewing x SNEAKS "MU"
Style: Spacey Hazy IPA. This collaboration beer was first tapped at the recent "Mori, Michi, Ichiba 2026" festival. Fresh hop-driven notes of orange and mango, with a subtle banana-like nuance, are its defining features. The soft texture from oats is accented by hassaku peel and cardamom.
- Thornbridge Brewery "Rattle Snake"
Introduced as a West Coast IPA. Brewed with Cascade, Chinook, Centennial, and Simcoe, it opens with grapefruit and pine aromas, then expands on the palate with impressions of lemon, melon, and lychee. It balances well with the malt sweetness, and finishes with a crisp bitterness.
Pairing With the Food
The post highlighted the day's recommended dish as carpaccio of horse mackerel and roasted eggplant with a lime accent. Fresh dishes like this are said to pair especially well with hoppy saisons, sours, or lighter session IPAs. One of the things that makes this place distinctive is that, while beer is the centerpiece, you can also think about pairings with white wine.
How to Enjoy the Shop
oasis's appeal is that it lets you enjoy the casual feel of standing drinks alongside carefully prepared food. It works whether you're stopping in for just one beer after work or settling in for a longer night of drinking, making it an easy choice both for a first stop and for a night when you want to keep going. Both of the new kegs are hop-forward styles with clear contours, making them a good fit for the current weather.
If you're looking for guest beers in Nakameguro, this is one spot worth checking first.
