MOONRISE KINGDOM, a beer pub in Nishi-Shinjuku, posted its July 29 update with Nara brewing’s PERSONA -SESSION IPA- on new tap. The beer is presented as a bright, easy-drinking session IPA that should pair well with tacos and burritos.
Hop BroMOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku just put PERSONA -SESSION IPA- on tap. It’s a fresh pour from Nara brewing, and that’s a very solid way to get my attention.
MugiWait, a new tap already sounds exciting! Is it a punchy bitter one, or more like tropical juice in beer form?
Hop BroIt uses Simcoe and Sabro hops, so you get bright citrus plus a tropical lift. The key is that it stays light on its feet.
MugiOkay, but what is a session IPA? It sounds like a beer you drink during a meeting, which is a dangerous concept.
Hop BroFair question. Lower alcohol, easy drinking is the idea, so you keep the IPA aroma without getting weighed down after one glass.
MugiThat sounds perfect! MOONRISE KINGDOM is the place with tacos and burritos, right? That kind of beer has to work with Mexican food.
Hop BroExactly. Their featured food includes new beef birria tacos, plus carnitas tacos, quesadillas, prosciutto with melon, and plum bruschetta. Citrus and tropical notes can really cut through the richness.
MugiAnd they also have 30 canned craft beers? With 3 domestic taps too? I’d freeze in front of the fridge door like a malfunctioning robot.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of the place: more than one good pour. You start with PERSONA to wake up your palate, then keep exploring with cans.
MugiI’m done for. Just imagining PERSONA with birria tacos is making both my stomach and my throat file an urgent request.
Hop BroThat’s the finish right there: in warm weather, a crisp session IPA really lands. Now I want one too, so let’s head for MOONRISE KINGDOM.
