Tokyo ALEWORKS' By the Bay IPA lands at MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku
MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku announced a new guest pour for Friday, July 10: Tokyo ALEWORKS' In Cahoots Vol 7: By the Bay IPA, brewed with Vallejo Brewing. The beer is being offered alongside summer dishes and a broad bottled selection.
Hop BroNishi-Shinjuku just dropped a tempting tap update: MOONRISE KINGDOM has a fresh Tokyo ALEWORKS pour on.
MugiWait, Shinjuku has this kind of excitement? Even In Cahoots Vol 7 sounds like a secret mission!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a collab IPA from Tokyo ALEWORKS and Vallejo Brewing, and it feels built for summer.
MugiOkay, but “cryo hops” and “liquid hops” sound like hop wizardry to me!
Hop BroPut simply, they concentrate hop aroma and keep harshness down, so it’s basically all-in citrus aroma.
MugiSo one sip and I teleport into an orange grove? And it gives tangerine and pineapple vibes too? That’s a vacation.
Hop BroThen the finish brings a smooth dank aftertaste. A little grassy, a little resinous, very satisfying for IPA fans.
Mugi“Dank” still sounds like a dramatic basement, but with food? Bonito ceviche has to be a match!
Hop BroDefinitely. They’ve also got Norwegian salmon with lemon pepper and prosciutto melon, so the summer pairing lineup is strong.
MugiAnd three domestic taps plus thirty imported bottles? Choosing sounds like a full-time commitment already!
Hop BroThat’s why I’d start with By the Bay IPA, then let the food come in for the follow-up.
MugiSold. If it’s both refreshing and satisfying, this feels like more than one pint waiting to happen!
MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku introduced a new guest beer in a Friday post tied to its July 10 opening.
On tap
- Tokyo ALEWORKS `In Cahoots Vol 7 : By the Bay IPA`
- A collaboration IPA with Vallejo Brewing
The beer is described as being brewed with cryo hops and liquid hops only. According to the post, it opens with bright citrus aromas, then shows tangerine and pineapple notes before finishing with a pleasant dank edge. The result is presented as a punchy yet highly drinkable IPA, well suited to summer.
Food pairing
The post also highlights seasonal dishes such as Norwegian salmon with lemon pepper, ceviche made with seared bonito, and prosciutto melon with mascarpone. Those dishes make the beer lineup feel more food-driven than taproom-only, especially when matched with lighter styles like pilsner or pale ale.
Venue profile
MOONRISE KINGDOM is a beer pub in Shinjuku, Tokyo. The post notes three domestic draft beers and 30 kinds of imported craft beer bottles, so the lineup goes beyond the featured guest pour. It also says the venue is open through Sunday and closed on Monday, making it a practical stop for a weekend meal and a beer-focused visit.
