MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku introduces Y.MARKET's Epoch-エポック- West Coast Pale Ale
The beer pub MOONRISE KINGDOM in Tokyo's Nishi-Shinjuku highlighted Y.MARKET's Epoch-エポック- West Coast Pale Ale in its June 7 service notice. The post also points to a broad lineup of taps and bottles, plus food designed to pair well with beer.
Hop BroToday, MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku is pouring Y.MARKET’s Epoch as a guest West Coast Pale Ale.
MugiWait, I can get that in Shinjuku? West Coast Pale Ale sounds like it comes with ocean breeze on the side!
Hop BroThe name is dramatic, but the beer is serious. It layers four kinds of Cascade hops to bring out grapefruit and orange-like citrus.
MugiHold on, are Cascade hops like four Pokemon lined up together, or a bunch of siblings with the same name?
Hop BroImportant distinction: Cascade is the hop variety. The “four kinds” part means different forms or uses of it, basically a stacked citrus technique.
MugiOhhh! So when they say juicy yet clear, it means bright aroma up front, but the sip stays clean and easy?
Hop BroExactly. It keeps that crisp West Coast structure, but lands as a refreshing pale ale you’d reach for on a hot day.
MugiAnd that food lineup is wild! Carnitas tacos and ceviche? That’s basically a menu built to summon beer.
Hop BroRight, and MOONRISE KINGDOM has three domestic taps plus 30 bottle options. Pair it with ceviche or Mexican steak and the citrus pop doubles.
MugiLunch from 12:00 to 14:30 and dinner from 17:30 to 23:00? That is ridiculously convenient for anything from day drinking to a night cap!
Hop BroThe spot is easy to pin too: Tenku MURA 1F, Nishi-Shinjuku 6-12-16. Give me tacos and first pour: Epoch, and the day is solved.
MugiI’m done for, I want it already! Just imagining that summer citrus pint makes me want to run straight to MOONRISE KINGDOM.
