MOONRISE KINGDOM: Thursday Tap List Featuring Four Kegs, Including Nara Brewing × VERTERE
The Nishi-Shinjuku beer pub MOONRISE KINGDOM announced its Thursday tap list in a post on April 23. Kegs from Nara Brewing × VERTERE, Y.MARKET, and BLACK TIDE were lined up, along with food recommendations designed to pair with IPA and pilsners.
Hop BroMOONRISE KINGDOM, the Nishi-Shinjuku beer pub, has a pretty strong Thursday tap lineup. Today, three kegs are the main attraction, and just reading about it makes your throat want a pint.
MugiWhoa, what is that! Three kegs just for Thursday, and that's already enough to get me hyped!
Hop BroFirst up is Nara Brewing × VERTERE's 'TYPHINA (KELLER PILS)'. A Keller Pils is a style that keeps filtration modest, so you get a gentle haze and a soft malt character.
MugiKeller pils? So it's basically a hazy pilsner? That suddenly sounds really advanced!
Hop BroExactly, roughly speaking it's a pilsner that's not overly clear. Y.MARKET's 'Beyond the Grid IPA' is an IPA for enjoying hop aroma, and BLACK TIDE's 'Tohoku Pride〜IPL〜' adds hop character to lager-like crispness.
MugiWow, just seeing an IPA and IPL side by side makes me want to compare them! And there's a pilsner too, so the personalities are totally different, which is fun!
Hop BroThe food is good too. There's a suggestion to pair the ceviche-style carpaccio of fresh fish with IPA or pilsner, and besides that there's the MOONRISE burrito, BBQ steak tacos, and even karasumi lemon pasta.
MugiWait, that's basically food made for beer! Just the names are making me hungry, that's not fair at all!
Hop BroAnd the shop is on the first floor of Tenku MURA in Nishi-Shinjuku 6-chome, with 30 domestic and imported bottled craft beers, so even if the tap choices run out, there's still plenty to rely on.
MugiI like small beer pubs where you can drink slowly. Even the time spent deciding between the food and the bottles sounds delicious!
Hop BroThe only catch is that it's scheduled to be closed from 5/3 to 5/6, so if you're aiming for Thursday's kegs, checking the dates is essential. If I could go, I'd start with TYPHINA, move on to IPA, and finish with the IPL.
MugiOkay, I'm on burrito duty! I'm in the mood to toast tonight, so I almost want to line up in front of the kegs!
