Moyamoya Base in Sapporo rotates in three guest beers
Moyamoya Base, a beer pub in Sapporo's Minami 2-jo Higashi area, announced three new guest beers on tap. The lineup features Shiga Kogen Beer, NARA BREWING, and Miyazaki Hideji Beer.
Hop BroAt MoyaMoya Base in Sapporo, three guest taps just got swapped in. A spot on Minami 2-jo Higashi suddenly turns into a nationwide beer lineup, and that is a strong move.
MugiWhat, three kegs at once? That is wild. You walk into one pub and it is basically a tiny beer road trip!
Hop BroThe new lineup is Shiga Kogen Beer’s Shinshu Heion Apple IPA, NARA BREWING’s CHARM, and Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s KURI KURO Dark Chestnut Ale. That lineup has range.
MugiThose names alone are pulling me in! Apple IPA sounds dangerous. Is it easy-drinking like juice, or does the IPA bitterness come charging in?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. IPA is a style built around hop aroma and bitterness, so it is basically a hop-forward beer. With Apple IPA, the name alone makes you expect some fruity character too.
MugiOkay, but CHARM being described as a brewery personality pour sounds like the beer is introducing itself on stage. Does it have a talent segment too?
Hop BroPretty much, except the speech is liquid. It means the beer shows what that brewery is about, through malt, aroma, and balance. It is basically the brewery’s calling card in a glass.
MugiThat suddenly sounds so cool. And KURI KURO already feels like the final boss of autumn beers!
Hop BroIt is a dark chestnut ale, so you get a darker profile with chestnut character in the mix. Next to the IPA and CHARM, it gives you three different directions to compare, which is exactly what makes MoyaMoya Base fun.
MugiA place where the taps change character day by day sounds perfect. I am fully in a take me to Sapporo mood now.
Hop BroMakes sense. In one stop, you can chase beer from Shiga Kogen, Nara, and Miyazaki. When a pub nails the beauty of rotation, you want to drink it while those kegs are still on.
MugiDone. We start with a flight, then somebody says, “just one more.” I am officially obsessed with these three taps now!
