At Mugibaru, five beers including COEDO's Marihana are tapped, with next candidates previewed
In a May 12 post, the Tokyo, Kamata beer pub "Mugibaru" introduced five beers for the day, including COEDO's "Marihana" and Vatere's "Magnolia." The next-candidate list also included labels such as Yellow Monkey Brewing and Sankt Gallen, with an IPA-heavy tap lineup that stands out.
Hop BroTokyo's Kamata beer pub "Mugibaru" dropped its latest draft rotation update in a May 12 post. This time it includes COEDO's Marihana and Vatere's Magnolia, so the lineup is pretty aggressive.
MugiWhoa, Marihana and Magnolia sound stylish just from the names! But I have no idea what kind of beers they are!
Hop BroMarihana is COEDO's session IPA, so it's light but still has that solid hop aroma. Magnolia is Vatere's double IPA, so among this IPA-centered lineup it really stands out.
MugiDouble IPA sounds intense just from the name! And what's a DDH Hazy IPA anyway? It sounds like a spell and makes my head spin!
Hop BroDDH means dry-hopped twice, which really pushes the aroma forward. So beers like WCB's Summer Breeze have that floral brightness, like they've had two rounds of extra hops added.
MugiThat's so interesting! And Mugibaru pairs not just beer but even eringi mushrooms sauteed with salt sauce? It's basically a beer pub with the face of an izakaya!
Hop BroExactly. It's relaxed to drink there, but the lineup is serious. They've got Nito Brewing's Nue Hop Juice IPA and even a pilsner like Jukusen, so it's a setup that's fun to compare and taste through.
MugiI see! So it's not just hop bombs, it actually has balance too. And dogs are welcome? It really feels like Kamata's hangout spot!
Hop BroThe next candidates are strong too, with Yellow Monkey Brewing, Sankt Gallen, and Hime Beer waiting in the wings. In other words, you can enjoy today's kegs now and still get excited that the next round looks hot too.
MugiJust hearing all that makes my throat dry! Tonight I want to chase the drink of the day in Kamata!
