Craft Beer Moonlight to Tap Seasonal Limited "Mint Ale" on May 27
The brewpub Craft Beer Moonlight in Ikuta, Tama Ward, Kawasaki City, will tap its seasonal limited-batch "Mint Ale" as its "Beer of the Day" on Wednesday, May 27, 2026. Regular beers, specialty beers, and bottled beers for takeaway and delivery are also listed.
Hop BroThe Ikuta brewpub Craft Beer Moonlight in Tama Ward, Kawasaki, is gearing up on May 27, 2026. A seasonal Mint Ale is coming out, which feels like the first sign of early summer.
MugiWhat! Mint Ale sounds like a beer that tastes like mint toothpaste!? That sounds incredibly refreshing!
Hop BroHold on and listen: the star here is the gentle aroma of this seasonal limited brew. Think of a herb-like freshness wrapped in a beer-like, ale-style drinkability.
MugiWait, what’s an ale? How is it different from a lager? This beer explanation suddenly turned into a quiz!
Hop BroIn short, it’s a top-fermented beer. The aroma comes through easily, and that fits well with Moonlight’s style of making distinctive beers.
MugiI get it! And it’s only about a 3-minute walk from Ikuta Station, so you can go drink it freshly brewed right away! I have to go!
Hop BroExactly. And this was the first small brewpub born in Kawasaki back in 2009, and its hallmark is brewing small batches of many different beers with the uni-keg system.
MugiWhat is the uni-keg system, some kind of special move? Just hearing "small batches, many varieties" gets me excited!
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a method where they brew lots of different kegs in small quantities and keep releasing beers with a local character. They have Tama no Izumi, Spica, Kawasaki Shinshu, Masugata Castle, Edomae, and even Tama no Ginger lined up, so the names alone make it a tasting showdown.
MugiThe names are already fun! And Mint Ale is S size 600 yen, right? I want to try it a little, and if I like it, go after the others too!
Hop BroThat approach is exactly right. It’s great to have a freshly poured pint on-site, and taking home bottles like Tama no Nagare Lager is also an option, so there are too many reasons to drink today.
MugiI’ve decided! I’ll drink the seasonal pint at the shop and take some bottles home on the way back! Announcements like this make beer cravings spike all at once!
Hop BroThen the conclusion is that May 27 is Mint Ale weather at Moonlight. I’d want to line up in front of the tap right now too.
