The beer pub Mugibaru in Kamata, Tokyo, updated today’s tap list on Instagram. The lineup includes Tokaido Beer’s anniversary hazy, VERTERE’s IPA, and DD4D’s citrus hazy IPA, and it also notes that motsunabe will be served on the weekend.
Hop BroMugibaru, the Kamata beer pub, has a pretty intriguing lineup for today's beers. I like that an Instagram update lets you see the current tap roster.
MugiWhat! Does "beer of the day" change that often? Being able to track the latest taps at a beer pub feels kind of like a treasure hunt!
Hop BroExactly. Today, the star is the anniversary hazy: Tokaido Beer’s "Mugibaru 2nd Anniversary Kinako-Colored Fluffy Hazy." It’s a Hazy IPA at 6%, and even the name already gives off that fluffy feel.
MugiKinako-colored fluffy? What even is that! A Hazy IPA is one of those cloudy beers, right? But is there actually kinako in the beer?
Hop BroGood question. It’s closer to thinking of it as a name inspired by the aroma of hazy beers. In practice, the selling points are the tropical hop character and smooth mouthfeel; the kinako part is a metaphor for the color and vibe.
MugiOhhh! So VERTERE’s Efrencia and DD4D’s Marmalade Man already sound like they have strong personalities from the names alone!
Hop BroExactly. What’s interesting is seeing a whole row of breweries with distinct personalities. There’s VERTERE’s IPA, DD4D’s Citrus Hazy IPA, and even Isekadoya Beer’s Sabro's IPA, so the aroma directions are quite different.
MugiThat sounds fun! Does Citrus Hazy IPA mean something with a bright citrus aroma? If so, maybe I could drink that one too!
Hop BroYeah, it’s a style that tends to show citrus nuances like orange and grapefruit. And since there’s Jukusen Pilsner, if the hop-heavy beers start to wear you out, you can take a lighter break, which is great.
MugiCalling it great is cute! If I can take a breather with a Pilsner, I’d want to keep drinking my way through the lineup from the first glass. And they’re serving motsunabe on the weekend too, right?
Hop BroRight, the fact that they serve motsunabe on weekends is the best part. And since they also say dogs are allowed, you can casually stop by in Kamata, have some beer, dig into hot pot, and then want one more drink to finish.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! If it’s craft beer in Kamata and the keg lineup keeps changing, I might end up going there all the time. I want to start with a hazy today!
