Two New Kegs Tapped from Monkish and O/O Brewing at MIHAMA BASE in Inagekaigan
At WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE (Mihama Base) in Inagekaigan, two new kegs were tapped: Monkish West Coast Flavor and O/O Brewing Narangi. It’s a lineup that lets you enjoy a hard-to-find West Coast IPA and a citrusy hazy IPA at the same time.
Hop BroAt MIHAMA BASE in Inagekaigan, two kegs were tapped today, and the lineup is pretty hot. The highlights are Monkish's West Coast Flavor and O/O Brewing's Narangi.
MugiWait, Monkish is available!? Isn't that like a rare card in the beer world?
Hop BroExactly. Monkish's West Coast Flavor is a West Coast IPA made with Mosaic and Simcoe, and what’s great is how sharply defined the hop character is.
MugiWhat do you mean by hop character? Isn't it contradictory to be clearly defined while still being airy and soft?
Hop BroGood question. The aroma is bold, but the finish stays tight rather than loose, and being dry to drink is part of what makes West Coast IPA so satisfying.
MugiI see! Then O/O Brewing's Narangi sounds like it has serious citrus power just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. Narangi is a hazy IPA with citrus notes reminiscent of orange and tropical nuances layered in, and its golden appearance is beautiful too.
MugiOh, so hazy means the cloudy kind, right? But if it has a balance of sweetness and bitterness, it sounds easy to drink!
Hop BroRight, and there are nine draft beers in total today, making it a setup that’s fun to compare and taste. With GUINNESS and STONE also on tap, it’s strong because you can choose based on your mood.
MugiThat’s the kind of lineup that makes it hard to choose! If I could drop by after work and get the 100-yen-off happy hour, I’d definitely use that as an excuse to have one more!
Hop BroMIHAMA BASE also offers takeout, and because the keg turnover is fast, it’s worth going for the fresh keg feel. Today, I’d want both.
MugiYeah! If I drank West Coast and hazy side by side, today would be a total happiness route. I want to go հիմա!
At WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE (Mihama Base), a craft beer specialty shop in Inagekaigan, Chiba, there were two new taps on this day. The highlights are Monkish's West Coast Flavor and O/O Brewing's Narangi.
Monkish West Coast Flavor is a West Coast IPA made with Mosaic and Simcoe. Monkish is known as a brewery with small-scale production and very high difficulty to obtain, so opportunities to drink it on tap are rare. It stands out as a beer with a clearly defined hop profile while remaining crisp and dry to drink.
On the other hand, O/O Brewing Narangi is a hazy IPA characterized by citrus notes reminiscent of orange and tropical nuances. It is described as having a golden color and a balanced flavor with sweetness and peel-like bitterness. With a West Coast IPA and a hazy IPA lined up side by side, the selection makes comparison tasting easy.
The total number of draft beers on this day was nine. GUINNESS, KIRIN HEARTLAND, Hoegaarden White, STONE /// Fear.Movie.Lions Double IPA, Isekadoya Beer Hazy IPA, Evolution Lot No.3, and LERVIG Super Sonic were joined by these two new kegs.
MIHAMA BASE is a craft beer specialty shop that also offers bottle and can takeout. Business hours are from 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., and there is also a happy hour from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays, when in-house drinks are 100 yen off. It is easy to stop by for just one drink on the way home from work, and it offers the kind of enjoyment that only a shop with fast keg turnover can provide.
