MugiWait, it already sounds delicious from the title! Kesennuma Pride ver. 12.1 IPA is such a strong-sounding name!
Hop BroWhat's inside is an IPA brewed with Citra and Chinook hops, where citrus notes are layered with piney and dank character. It's interesting that it even brings out hints of pine and peach.
MugiHold on, piney and dank? What is that! Even though we're talking about beer, words like forest and basement are popping up here!?
Hop BroIn simple terms, piney means a pine or conifer-like aroma, and dank refers to a rich, green hop character. In other words, it's refreshing but intense.
MugiI get it! And if it has a crisp finish, it should be easy to drink. With a bright aroma too, it's the kind of beer that makes you want to keep sniffing it!
Hop BroWhat's more, MOONRISE KINGDOM has three domestic taps plus 30 bottles of overseas craft beer, so going there for the guest beers is definitely the right move.
MugiWow, just choosing sounds fun! And it's open at the perfect time for a drink after work, which is seriously helpful!

MugiThe food looks strong too! The MOONRISE Plate and ceviche are the kind of things that would make an IPA meal impossible to stop.
