The beer pub MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo, has released its tap list for Tuesday, May 13, covering lunch and dinner service. Three beers are on tap from Tokyo Aleworks, Nomcraft brewing, and BLACK TIDE BREWING, and 30 bottled beers are also available.
Hop BroThe Nishi-Shinjuku beer pub MOONRISE KINGDOM has put out its tap list for May 13. This is exactly the kind of place that makes you want to stop by on the way home from work.
MugiWhoa! Even with just three taps, it already feels super intriguing! In a way, it makes choosing easier, doesn’t it?
Hop BroThe lineup is Tokyo Aleworks' ITABASHI HEEL LAGER, Nomcraft brewing's Moon Calendar / West Coast IPA, and BLACK TIDE BREWING's Second Breath IPA. Lager, West Coast IPA, and IPA, so each one has a clearly different character.
MugiOhh! I hear West Coast IPA all the time, but what does it actually taste like? It sounds kind of intense just from the name!
Hop BroIn short, it’s a style where hop bitterness and aroma really take the lead. It often brings out pine-like and citrus notes, and it has a crisp finish, so when you drink it, you get that ‘Ah, this is beer!’ feeling.
MugiWow, that explanation makes sense! And the shop’s featured dish is BBQ Steak Tacos? That menu is basically calling for beer!
Hop BroExactly. The key is the homemade BBQ sauce, and the smoky compatibility really works with those IPAs. The BBQ Steak Burrito and Mexican Steak, too, get this nice, natural lift from a bitter beer.
MugiBut still, if there’s a lager on the list, why does everyone keep talking about the IPAs? I’m curious about the ITABASHI HEEL LAGER too!
Hop BroThat’s the good part: the lager plays the role of a bridge to the meal. It’s easy to start with because it drinks cleanly, and then moving on to an IPA makes the difference in aroma even more enjoyable.
MugiI see! And if they have 30 bottled beers from Japan and abroad too, you can go on an adventure based on your mood. Get stuck deciding on tap, then get stuck again with bottles!
Hop BroThat’s what makes MOONRISE KINGDOM great: you can enjoy a wide range all in one place. It’s a really reliable spot for a day when you want both food and beer to fully satisfy you in Shinjuku.
MugiI’m already totally in the mood to drink! Since both lunch and dinner work today, I’d start with the BBQ Steak Tacos!
