MugiWhat? The labels look like death metal, but the beers are easy to drink?
Hop BroExactly. Despite the intimidating art, the pub says they’re clean and crystal-clear in flavor. And 500ml gives you time to savor them.
Mugi500ml?! I might be so busy looking at the art that my glass goes empty!
Hop BroStart with TID TAKER: 5.1% ABV and a Dortmunder Export lager. It balances malt character with crisp drinkability.
MugiDortmunder… is that a spell? How is it different from lager?
Hop BroIt is a lager style from Dortmund, Germany. Think easy-drinking with malt depth—not too light, with a little more body.
MugiOhhh! Then is GARMONBOZIA, the corn lager, a corn-flavored beer?
Hop BroYou’ve got it. At 5.2%, it should feel light and grainy; the lineup also has THRONE of BROOD altbier, PILGRMAGE hefeweizen, and a pale lager too at 4.0%.
MugiThey’re lager-focused, yet all so different! A tasting flight sounds perfect!
Hop BroYou can also choose distinctive Japanese beers from FARMENTARY in Nara and HINOBREWING in Shiga. That’s the joy of a border-crossing glass at Kakuchi Asakura.
MugiFrom scary labels to crisp discoveries—let’s drink HOLY MOUNTAIN, Hop Bro!
