Hop BroToday I’m introducing March 29 information from Mukuraf, the beer pub in Shinohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo. There are no new taps, but that makes the bottle lineup especially hot.
MugiWait, how can it be hot if there are no new taps!? Isn’t that basically a "nothing going on" day for a beer bar?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting: the bottle beers are well stocked. WestCoastBrewing, VERTERE, GOODHOPS, Sierra Nevada, and even TWO RABBITS are all there, so there’s plenty of fun in choosing.
MugiWow. Just hearing those names is overwhelming. What kind of brewery is WCB?
Hop BroWCB stands for WestCoastBrewing, and they’re known for hop-forward IPA-style beers. Here you’ve got `Alive`, `Slow Motion`, and `McKenzie Pils`, so it’s easy to see how even the same brewery can show different personalities.
MugiWhat is `Pils` even? What’s the difference from IPA? I only have a vague idea about the difference between pilsners.
Hop BroIn broad terms, pilsners are known for a crisp, refreshing character, while IPAs are the style that puts hop aroma and bitterness front and center. That’s why even on the same shelf, tasting them side by side is fun because the directions they head in are so different.
MugiI see! And if VERTERE has `Passiflora#47` and `10th Grape Sour`, that means you can also go for fruit-driven sours, right!
Hop BroExactly. On top of that, there’s GOODHOPS with `Sorachi Ace Respect` and `Season of Lupulin`, plus Sierra Nevada’s `Cosmic Little Thing`, so the range of aromas is huge. The right move is to sit down and compare them one by one.
MugiAnd they even have dishes like corn mousse and liver cutlets, so the food that pairs with beer is seriously impressive... If last entry is 8 p.m., I want to go early and drink!
Hop BroIf you want a relaxed drink around Morishita on a spring weekend, taking your time with bottles is the way to go. Even without new taps, Mukuraf definitely gives you reasons to stop by.
