Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress pours NUDE BEER and Zakkoku Koubou on 6/7
Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi, Kanagawa will open from 13:00 to 23:00 on Sunday, June 7. The bar highlights two guest beers from NUDE BEER and Zakkoku Koubou while counting down to its third anniversary on June 9.
Hop BroMusashi-Kosugi has some great daytime beer news today. Progress is opening at 1:00 PM on June 7, and the pre-anniversary mood makes it extra tempting.
MugiWait, 1 PM to 11 PM? That is not a quick drink, that is a full-scale weekend operation!
Hop BroAnd they are highlighting two guest beers, starting with NUDE BEER's ASAMOYA. It is a Session Hazy IPA at 4.5%, built for easy daytime drinking.
MugiOkay, but Session Hazy IPA sounds like a weather report. What does it actually taste like?
Hop BroIt uses oats for a soft, smooth mouthfeel, then layers Citra and Sabro hops for lychee and coconut-like aromas. The bitterness stays pretty gentle.
MugiWhat is that, coconut-style hops? This beer sounds like it booked a tropical vacation.
Hop BroThe second one is Mugizakkoku Kobo's Irodori Saison Dark Citrus. It is a Dark Saison with mikan, hassaku, and kabosu at 5.5%, which is a lot of personality in one glass.
MugiHold on, a dark saison with all that citrus? My brain is trying to host summer and roasted malt at the same time!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. You get roast malt bitterness plus bright citrus in a refreshing dark profile, so it drinks lighter than it looks.
MugiOhhh, so it is dark but still crisp. That sounds like the kind of beer that tricks me in the best possible way.
Hop BroAnd Progress is not just for drinking on-site. They also offer take-home draft fills, and you can even bring your own carbonation-safe container.
MugiThat is dangerously convenient! Plus the pet-friendly outdoor seats and the third anniversary countdown make the whole place sound lively.
Hop BroStarting light with ASAMOYA and then moving into Dark Citrus is a very smart beer order. That flow makes perfect sense for a Sunday afternoon.
MugiThen it is settled. An afternoon start in Musashi-Kosugi and a side-by-side tasting of both beers sounds like a winning weekend.
Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Kawasaki’s Nakahara Ward will trade on Sunday, June 7, from 13:00 to 23:00. In the post, the shop also notes that its third anniversary is coming up in June and that anniversary beers will begin pouring from June 9.
The first recommendation is NUDE BEER / ASAMOYAｰ朝靄ｰ. It is a Session Hazy IPA at 4.5% ABV, built on a soft oat-driven body with Citra and Sabro in the hop schedule. The beer is described as fruity and light on bitterness, with notes that suggest lychee and a touch of coconut.
The second pour is Zakkoku Koubou / 彩:イロドリセゾン ダークシトラス. This Dark Saison with Mikan, Hassaku, and Kabosu at 5.5% ABV comes from the brewery’s local-ingredient-focused IRODORI line. It is a brown saison with bright citrus character and a mild roast-driven bitterness, making it an easy choice for a relaxed Sunday session.
Progress works as both a beer bar and bottle shop, so the setup is straightforward: drink in, or take beer home via volume sales. The shop also offers takeaway in plastic cups or PET bottles, or you can bring your own carbonated-friendly container. It is cashless only, outdoor seats are pet-friendly, and Wednesdays and Thursdays come with 20% off. With weekend opening now starting earlier, it is an especially practical stop for beer fans looking to start the afternoon in Musashi-Kosugi.
