GORA "PLANNED CHANCE" Tapped at MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku
The beer pub MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku updated its business information for Wednesday, March 25. The guest feature is GORA BREWERY's "PLANNED CHANCE" (DDH IPA), and three bottled beers from OHLOY brewing were also added. Pairing suggestions with spring seafood dishes and IPA/Pilsner are also worth noting.
Hop BroAt MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku, GORA BREWERY's "PLANNED CHANCE" is now on tap. It's a DDH IPA, and the key point is that it is double dry-hopped with six kinds of hops.
MugiWhoa! Is double dry-hopping like some kind of special move where they throw in hops twice? Sounds powerful!
Hop BroThat's basically right. In short, it's a method of layering hops without heat to bring out the citrus and berry aromas beautifully.
MugiHuhhh! And it said piney aroma, too. Is it like beer wandered into a forest full of pinecones?
Hop BroExactly, that image works. And on top of that, it has the JGBA 2026 Silver Award, so it's not just aromatic, but a highly polished beer too.
MugiWhat, that sounds interesting! But isn't it luxurious enough just to have the guest beer, and then they also bring in three OHLOY brewing beers?
Hop BroThey're bottles from Kagawa. HIMAALOY is a Lager, Seki is a West Coast IPA, and Luv is a raspberry Sour Ale. Since the styles are all over the place, you can play around based on your mood that day.
MugiLager, WCIPA, and sour! They're like three completely different personalities. That's the kind of three-choice gacha that leaves you lost when you're deciding!
Hop BroBut that's part of the fun because the food makes it easier to choose. For spring seafood, there's ceviche-style carpaccio, and when you pair it with IPA or pilsner, everything comes together really nicely.
MugiWait, seafood goes that well with IPA? Then I'll add garlic shrimp too, and make it the kind of night where I just can't stop!
Hop BroThat's the right move. With three domestic draft taps plus about 30 overseas bottles, MOONRISE KINGDOM's strength is that you can build pairings from the first glass to the last.
MugiIf a place in Nishi-Shinjuku is stocked like this, it's almost unfair! Tonight, with spring seafood and IPA, we might end up wanting to toast too!
At the beer pub MOONRISE KINGDOM in Sky MURA 1F, Nishi-Shinjuku 6-chome, guest beer information for Wednesday, March 25 was released.
This time’s headliner is "PLANNED CHANCE" (DDH IPA) from GORA BREWERY, making its first appearance at the shop. In the post, it is introduced as a beer with double dry-hopping using six hop varieties, layering bright citrus freshness, sweet berry-like nuances, and a piney aroma.

With a lineup that spans lager, WCIPA, and a raspberry sour ale, the selection makes it easy to choose based on your mood that day.
On the food side, the menu prominently features spring seafood options, including carpaccio in a ceviche style made with fresh fish, and the post also highlights how well these dishes pair with IPA and pilsner.

With three domestic draft taps plus about 30 overseas craft bottles, it offers enough depth to build pairings from the first drink to the last.
