MugiWait, Watermelon IPA is real!? A beer that sounds like a festival snack just jumped onto the tap list!
Hop BroThe pair is Watermelon IPA and Lagamucho. One brings that watermelon-leaning IPA vibe, and the other is an easygoing Mexican Lager, so the contrast is clear.
MugiHold on, IPA vs lager always sounds important, but what does it actually mean? I already feel behind in beer class!
Hop BroSimple version: hop-driven aroma usually points to the IPA side, while lager is cleaner and easier to gulp down. It sounds technical, but it tastes very straightforward.
MugiOhhh, so the watermelon one brings summer fruit vibes and surprises you right away. My taste buds are already on vacation.
Hop BroExactly, and Mexican Lager as the second beer gives you a lighter landing after the aromatic one. That's a smart side-by-side setup.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And the place has three domestic taps plus a bunch of bottles too, right? My one-drink plan is falling apart in real time!
Hop BroYep, there are 30 bottled beers as well, so I'd start with the fresh tap picks and then wander into the bottles. MOONRISE KINGDOM is really good at justifying a detour.
MugiThat's it, I want the side-by-side now! One stop in Nishi-Shinjuku for Watermelon IPA and Lagamucho sounds like the correct way to do summer.
