MugiWhoa, that name already feels like an autumn evening! What is an amber saison like?
Hop BroSaison is a Belgian-origin style once enjoyed during farm work. This one has gentle malt character but a crisp, clean finish.
MugiMalty but crisp? The beer in my imagination has become a two-layer drink!
Hop BroHa! It is not heavy sweetness—just a soft toasted-malt note, plus aromatic French hops that feel like a cool autumn breeze.
MugiFrench hops? Do they speak French? Like, “Bonjour, I am foam”?
Hop BroHops do not talk! They are hops from France, often bringing floral, herbal, and citrus-like notes—making them great with seafood dishes.
MugiThen I want it with the limited sanma achar! Spiced Pacific saury sounds irresistible.
Hop BroExcellent call. There is oyster biryani and Sri Lankan shrimp-and-eggplant curry too, so the beer can stand up to spice while staying refreshing.
MugiThey are open from lunch through dinner, and beer is available for takeaway from 10! Can they fill a growler?
Hop BroThey can. You can choose a PET bottle or plastic cup too, and the terrace is open to dogs and cats—perfect after a walk.
