Shiga Kogen Beer’s Swheat & sour is now on tap at Craft Beer Bar mugi in Hiroshima
Craft Beer Bar mugi in Hiroshima announced a new guest beer on Instagram: Swheat & sour from Shiga Kogen Beer. The hazy S'wheat IPA uses Bramley apples and balances sweetness, acidity, and hop bitterness.
Hop BroNews out of Hiroshima: craft beer bar mugi just tapped Swheat & sour from Shiga Kogen Beer. If you like chasing fresh guest pours, this is exactly the kind of update that wrecks your evening plans.
MugiWait, that already sounds delicious! Shiga Kogen Beer showing up in Hiroshima is the kind of detour I can justify instantly.
Hop BroAnd this one is a hazy S'wheat IPA made with Bramley sour apples. It is built to balance sweetness, tartness, and bitterness instead of stopping at simple fruitiness.
MugiWhat even is S'wheat IPA? A beer style or a spell? My brain just pictured wheat and hops wrestling in a cloud machine!
Hop BroThat is honestly close enough. Think wheat-forward IPA: softer texture, hazy body, fuller fruit impression, then the Bramley apple adds a bright sour edge.
MugiOhhh, so it is not just sweet and cute. It has tart and bitter balance too. That beer sounds way more grown-up than its fruity first impression.
Hop BroExactly. The bar describes it as a lighter Shinshu Jihen kind of idea, but with hop definition and bitterness still intact, so it keeps real drinking weight.
MugiA lighter version that still throws elbows? Incredible. And mugi has nine taps total, right? I would spend an hour panicking in front of the list.
Hop BroIt gets worse, in the best way: you can also order BAKU's teppan menu there. Apple tang plus hop bite with okonomiyaki sounds unfairly good.
MugiThat settles it. I really want to go test the fruit-and-bitterness combo with a glass of Swheat & sour tonight!
Craft Beer Bar mugi in Kaminoboricho, Hiroshima, announced a new guest beer on Instagram under the caption “NEW BEER.” The beer now on tap is Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Swheat & sour,” a release that should catch the attention of anyone who follows rotating draft lines.
The beer is described as a hazy S'wheat IPA brewed with Bramley sour apples. In the post, it is positioned as a lighter version of the brewery’s flagship “Shinshu Jijen.” That suggests a profile built on soft wheat character, fruit-driven acidity, and enough hop definition and bitterness to keep it firmly grounded as an IPA-adjacent beer.
mugi’s appeal is its focused tap list: the pub serves selected craft beers from Japanese and overseas breweries across nine taps. Guests can also order items from its sister shop, Teppanyaki and Okonomiyaki BAKU, which makes it easy to pair beer with food. In a relaxed part of Hiroshima’s Kaminoboricho area, it is the kind of place where following guest taps one by one makes perfect sense. For drinkers looking for both fruitiness and bitterness, Swheat & sour is a notable addition.
