MugiWhoa, nine beers!? With that many, I wouldn't know where to start, in the best possible way!
Hop BroThe core is definitely an IPA-centered lineup. You've got 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA from Aruka→Aruka x One's Brewery, English IPA from CRAFT BEER BASE, and Osaru IPA from Minoh Beer.
MugiSession Red IPA sounds like a name that's way too long, doesn't it? Is it red? Is it bitter? I'm already getting tipsy just from the information overload!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a lighter, easy-to-drink IPA. It adds IPA hop character to a red ale-like toasty flavor, but stays light enough to work as a first drink.
MugiI get it! And they even have hazy and pilsner too. Being able to compare the cloudy, soft one and the crisp, refreshing one at the same place sounds fun!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. If you line up MARCA BREWING's HAZY IPA and Pilsener, plus Minoh Beer's STOUT, the range of flavors becomes really clear. You can immediately see the differences in hop aroma, bitterness, and roasted character.
MugiWhoa, they even have a stout!? It's jet black, rich, and totally different in character from the IPA lineup from earlier!
Hop BroThey've also got BrewDog's PUNK IPA and Heartland, so there's a drinkable option too. It's a lineup that works for people who want to push forward and for people who want to take it easy.
MugiThe food feels really beer-friendly too! King oyster mushroom menma, chicken and scallion tsukune, and the rest sound like perfect drinking companions just from the names alone!
Hop BroExactly. They also have plate wontons, bonito spring rolls, and even pescatore, so it's a place that works from day drinking through the evening. On sunny days, the terrace sounds great too, and it's a really solid place to start your first pint in Namba.
MugiNow I really want to go! Today I'm raising a toast in Namba and working my way through everything from IPA to stout!
