Hop BroI want to talk about this 4th anniversary event today. MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku is throwing a three-day celebration from September 4 to 6.
MugiWait, MOONRISE KINGDOM already sounds powerful! A three-day party at a beer pub? I want to cheers before I even walk in!
Hop BroAnd the big hook is a Tokyo Aleworks collab. They made two original anniversary craft beers, so they're clearly not messing around.
MugiOoh! I've heard of WESTCOAST IPA, but is that the one that comes in with big bitterness and huge aroma?
Hop BroExactly. That kind of IPA often shows dry-hop character, so you get citrusy and piney notes jumping right out of the glass.
MugiWhat is that even supposed to mean? Does dry hop mean sprinkling hops on top like seasoning?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It's a method of adding aroma after fermentation, so you boost fragrance without pushing bitterness too hard.
MugiOhhh! So the WESTCOAST PILS is the easy-drinking one, and the IPA is the louder aromatic one. That's a perfect side-by-side plan!
Hop BroAnd then you add SPECIAL TACOS plus the anniversary menu. Beer and Mexican food together is very MOONRISE KINGDOM.
MugiAnd if you order the original collab beer, there's an omikuji giveaway too, right? Drinking, eating, and testing your luck is a lot for one event!
Hop BroThe hours are 17:30 to 22:30, so it basically begs for a post-work stop with both beers lined up in front of you.
MugiI'm sold. For this three-day-only toast in Nishi-Shinjuku, I want the WESTCOAST IPA, the WESTCOAST PILS, and tacos immediately!
