Mukuraf taps Open Air Brewing 'fireworks' IPA and BREW CLASSIC 'Scheme' Hazy IPA
Mukuraf, a beer pub in Shinohashi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, updated its tap list on July 25. New kegs include Open Air Brewing 'fireworks' IPA and BREW CLASSIC 'Scheme' Hazy IPA, alongside a broad spread from WestCoastBrewing and GOODHOPS.
Hop BroMukuraf in Tokyo's Shinohashi has a July 25 tap update that's seriously good. Open Air Brewing's "fireworks" IPA and BREW CLASSIC's "Scheme" Hazy IPA both just came on fresh.
MugiWhat! Two fresh tappings is already exciting, and those names are peak summer! "fireworks" showing up on fireworks day feels almost too perfect!
Hop BroDolcita and Azacca are in "fireworks," so it comes across light and juicy. It's the kind of IPA that fits a hot weekend even after heavy rain.
MugiWhoa, but Dolcita and Azacca sound like people, or maybe a FUJIROCK duo. You're telling me those are beer things?
Hop BroThey're hop varieties. In simple terms, they're the aroma team that adds citrusy and tropical character, and "fireworks" lets that bright vibe pop.
MugiNo way, the aroma team is such a friendly explanation! Now I'm picturing tropical fireworks going off inside the glass!
Hop BroScheme is a Hazy IPA at 7% ABV, with fruitiness, soft sweetness, and real drinking weight. It feels plush, but it still has backbone.
MugiWait, Hazy IPA basically means cloudy IPA... right? Or is this the part where you suddenly become Beer Professor again?
Hop BroThe haze is the result; the goal is softness and juiciness. That's why "Scheme" feels almost fruit-juice-like while still hitting with proper IPA punch.
MugiOkay, got it! And with WestCoastBrewing and GOODHOPS there too, this is an IPA tasting paradise. If there's Session IPA and Lager as well, even beginners can explore comfortably!
Hop BroOne stop for hop styles is what makes Mukuraf so strong. FUJIROCK on the speakers plus house-made square-pan BLT and plum gazpacho, and I'm already ready to grab a seat.
MugiA calm place to drink even on fireworks day, and the food actually keeps up? Perfect. Take me to Shinohashi so I can start with "fireworks" and follow it with "Scheme"!
Mukuraf, the beer pub in Shinohashi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, updated its tap list on July 25. Even after heavy rain, the post points to a Saturday that stays hot, with FUJIROCK on in the background and plenty of seats available. It reads like a place where you can settle in and take your time with the glass.
Two fresh kegs lead the board. Open Air Brewing's 'fireworks' IPA is described as a light, juicy beer built with Dolcita and Azacca hops, which makes it an easy summer pick. BREW CLASSIC's 'Scheme' Hazy IPA comes in at 7% ABV and leans into fruit character and soft sweetness while still keeping enough body to satisfy. Both are the kind of beers IPA fans will want to try first.
The rest of the lineup is built around hop character and range:
- WestCoastBrewing: 'Freestyle Sandbox8' Hazy DIPA, 'Triple Cone' Hazy IPA, 'Analog Glow' West Coast IPA, and 'Instant Classic' American PA
- GOODHOPS: 'Summer Grow' IPA, 'Tono IBUKI IPA', 'Pacific Lines' IPA, 'Xroad' Session IPA, 'Yoki na Nectaron' IPA, and 'The Classic Hops' Lager
It is an IPA-heavy board, but the Session IPA and Lager give the list some useful range, so tasting across styles should be straightforward. It is the sort of tap list that works well when you want to follow a brewery's direction in one stop.
Food options are equally beer-friendly, including house-made cubed-bread BLT, grilled big asparagus, pork cutlet, plum gazpacho, seaweed-and-seafood side dishes, and more. Mukuraf keeps the focus on beer while still giving the kitchen enough room to support a full pub-style session.
