MugiWow, a Niigata-and-Nagano collaboration? A cross-prefecture beer team-up already sounds like a reason to toast!
Hop BroThe beer is called English Summer Ale. It has a lovely aroma and a balanced malt character, so it stays lively while still feeling satisfying.
MugiThere goes your beer vocabulary again! What does malt character actually taste like?
Hop BroMalt is the grain side of beer—it can bring bready, biscuit-like aromas and a gentle sweetness. In short, this ale has a harmony of aroma and malt.
MugiOh, I get it! Refreshing but still tasty enough for food. No wonder they call it a beer you can keep drinking!
Hop BroMATSUMOTO BREWERY has another new arrival, too: MATSUMOTO Traditional Bitter, served as a real ale bitter for slow, thoughtful sipping.
MugiReal ale? Does that mean it is more real than draft beer? This is suddenly cinematic! Tell me what real ale means!
Hop BroSimply put, it is a traditional British-style beer that continues to mature naturally in the cask. It has softer carbonation and a gentle, rounded mouthfeel.
MugiA quiet bitter on a dim, rainy Monday sounds so grown-up. But I am also curious about the sour saison tang!
Hop BroThere is T.Y.HARBOR Brewery's Sour Saison, Plank's Dunker Weizenbock, and Jōhana Beer’s Hikiyama Black as well. It is a lineup full of character—dark, tart, and malt-forward options alike.
MugiEnglish Summer Ale for the toast, real ale for lingering over, then a dark beer… our plan is done! Let’s go drink in Furumachi, Hop-bro!
Hop BroDone! They open at 5 p.m. and are closed the following day, so check Instagram for availability first. Let’s catch those new taps and find our perfect pint!
