At Moya Moya Base in Minami 2-jo Higashi 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, an update was posted announcing a change in the guest beer lineup. The Instagram post said, "One keg has changed." and the beer now on tap is Minoh Beer’s "Session Black IPA".

Moya Moya Base is a beer pub that puts craft beer front and center. One of the best parts of this kind of place is being able to enjoy the steady rotation of kegs. You can have a standard beer while waiting for the next pour, or stop by specifically for a guest beer that has just been tapped. In the heart of Sapporo, it is the kind of place where you can check out what beer is “current” right now.

As the name suggests, this Session Black IPA combines a dark appearance with the distinctive character of an IPA. Since the post clearly identifies the brand, it is also easy to order with that one keg in mind when visiting. Because a keg change can make even a familiar beer feel different, it is the kind of news beer fans are unlikely to want to miss.

If this sounds interesting, it may be worth checking Moya Moya Base’s tap lineup and taking your time over your first pint in downtown Sapporo. At a place where guest beers turn over quickly, even the anticipation of what comes next is part of the fun. This single-keg change was a notice with more than enough appeal to serve as an entry point.
