Spring Tap Update at Kamata’s Mugibaru, with Sankt Gallen Sakura Making an Appearance
The beer pub Mugibaru in Nishikamata, Ota City, Tokyo, shared its latest tap info in a post on March 15, 2026. From Sankt Gallen’s seasonal release to a range of IPAs, and even the next beers slated to be tapped, it’s a lineup that makes it easy to plan a tasting crawl.
Hop BroMugibaru in Kamata dropped a March 15 tap update, and it’s exactly the kind of lineup that satisfies both spring vibes and IPA cravings.
MugiWhoa, Mugibaru is going that hard? Just the name Sankt Gallen Sakura makes me want to drink it!
Hop BroOn the day, the lineup was Sakura at 5% herb-and-spice, Tokaido Beer’s 2nd anniversary hazy at 6%, BLITZ SESSION IPA at 4.5%, Struggle IPA at 7%, and Jukusen at 5.5% - a style-spanning lineup.
MugiWhat the heck! What’s the difference between a session IPA and a regular IPA? It sounds like a meeting!
Hop BroA session IPA is designed so you can drink longer with a lower ABV, and at 4.5% like BLITZ, it goes down easy. On the other hand, Struggle IPA is 7% and on the big hop aroma side of things.
MugiOhh! So the DDH West Coast IPA in the next teaser for GOLEM is even more spell-like, right?
Hop BroDDH means extra dry hopping, and West Coast means bitterness and crispness take center stage. So GOLEM is a return-visit-worthy teaser with both aroma and definition.
MugiAnd VERTERE’s Efrenia IPA is coming too, right? The tasting plan is suddenly looking very real!
Hop BroMugibaru’s strength is that you can follow Japanese breweries in a laid-back Nishikamata neighborhood setting. Since they even show the next tap change, it’s easy to plan when to come back.
MugiAlright, I’m deciding now: start with Sakura to feel spring, then charge into the IPAs! I want a drink at Mugibaru right now!
