Mugizakkoku Kobo Microbrewery, based in Ogawa, Saitama, will host a tap takeover at Taihu Tokyo in Kagurazaka starting at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 2. The lineup includes flagship beers, seasonal releases, the collaboration beer “PINE PINE,” and foeder-aged selections.
Hop BroThere’s an event in Kagurazaka worth talking about. Mugi Zakkoku Koubou Microbrewery from Ogawa, Saitama is taking over the taps at Taihu Tokyo from 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 2.
MugiWhat! A tap takeover sounds like the beer is hijacking the whole bar! And seven taps in Kagurazaka already has me buzzing.
Hop BroThat’s basically it, just a very peaceful hijacking. Seven taps in total means core beers, seasonal releases, the collab beer PINE PINE, and even foeder-aged pours.
MugiWhoa, PINE PINE is such a cute name. It feels like the kind of beer you want to say twice before you even order it!
Hop BroAnd the venue is Taihu Tokyo, so you get the full Mugi Zakkoku Koubou x Taihu Brewing combo in the room, not just in the glass.
MugiHold on, foeder-aged means what exactly? You just fired off a pro-level spell and my brain turned into foam!
Hop BroA foeder is a big wooden tank, and aging in it can add subtle wood character. The edges soften, and the aroma and flavor can gain more depth.
MugiOkay, so it’s like a gentle hint of wood in the background. And if owner-brewer Suzuki is there too, getting the backstory while drinking sounds amazing.
Hop BroHonestly, it’s the kind of lineup that makes you want a flight. With cans, big bottles, and even a chance at original merch, I’d get to Kagurazaka early.
MugiI’m done for, I already want a glass at 1:00 p.m. on August 2. I’ll start from tap one, and you can stand next to me getting way too excited again!
