Osaka's Mugishu-ya Pogology unveils 14 draft beers
Mugishu-ya Pogology, a beer pub in Osaka's Andoji-cho area, has published a 14-tap lineup. The selection spans Oni Densetsu, Minoh Beer, Nara Brewing and more, with styles ranging from gose and amber ale to cider, lager, IPA and nitro pours.
Hop BroToday's topic is Pogology's 14 taps! In Andojimachi, Osaka, they rolled out a list that runs from pale ale all the way to nitro pours.
MugiWait, 14 draft beers? That's basically a beer theme park. I'd freeze in front of the taps trying to choose!
Hop BroThe headliner is Kin-Oni Pale Ale. It's Oni Densetsu's Citra single-hop version, so the aroma and bitterness come through really clearly.
MugiHold on, single hop means what exactly? Your beer-nerd alarm just hit maximum!
Hop BroIt means one-hop showdown. Since it's only Citra, it's easy to spot those citrusy notes and understand what that hop is doing.
MugiOoh, then what about PLUM GOSE? The name already sounds tart and adorable.
Hop BroThat's the fun part: PLUM GOSE and Peach Weizen are both on the list. One gives you plum fruitiness with a salty gose twist, the Hakuhou peach version is soft and fragrant, and they even have Summer Lager.
MugiSalty too? The range on gose is wild, and that peach weizen sounds dangerously easy to finish.
Hop BroAnd don't skip LIGHT HOUSE NITRO ver from Nara Brewing. A nitro pour uses nitrogen, so the bubbles get ultra-fine and the mouthfeel turns really soft.
MugiWait, nitrogen-poured beer? Why did this suddenly become a science class? Still, that creamy first sip sounds lethal.
Hop BroOn top of that, it's a ridiculously broad lineup with amber ale, hard cider, IPA, and lager, plus the weekday-only Pogojiro set and Tuesday ramen service. I'm out of excuses not to go drink.
MugiThen it's settled, tasting-flight mode! Open doors, open windows, Osaka evening air, starting with Kin-Oni and ending on nitro... I want a glass right now!
Mugishu-ya Pogology, a beer pub in Osaka's Andoji-cho area, has shared a 14-tap lineup that crosses Japanese and overseas breweries. The mix covers pale ale, gose, amber ale, hard cider, weissbier, IPA, lager and nitro, making it the kind of board that invites style-by-style comparison.
The standout is Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale Ale Citra Single ver., a single-hop build that should make the hop character easy to follow. Nara Brewing's LIGHT HOUSE NITRO ver. brings a nitrogen pour and a softer mouthfeel, while Minoh Beer appears three times with PLUM GOSE, Peach Weizen Hakuhou ver., and Summer Lager.
Other taps include CRAFTBANK's 88★PUNCH Frozen ver., Basqueland Brewing's Peñas de Aia, Tall Boys Brewing's Black Honey Amber Ale, Embolden Beer's Broken Record, AMAKUSA SONAR BEER's AMKUSAクロぅ, REC CIDER BEER WORKS' Yura Yura Hard Cider Apple Bus, Brasserie Knot's MOSETSURI, GROUNDTAP BREWERY's ITSUTOSE, and Shiga Kogen Beer's SNOW MONKEY IPA Orange Label. With doors and windows open until sunset, plus the weekday Pogojiro set and Tuesday ramen service, it is an easy place to pair beer with food.
