MugiWhoa! The name is way too long! And a collaboration sounds like they're having a secret meeting together, which makes it even more exciting!
Hop BroThe style is a punchy IPA. It has citrus aromas, notes of tangerine and pineapple, and even a dank character.
MugiDank character? What is that! Does it mean the hop character is strong? All of a sudden you're throwing advanced beer terms at me!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it means it has a green, intense aroma. It can have grassy or resinous notes, which gives an IPA that distinct outline.
MugiI get it! Then it makes sense to hear that it pairs amazingly with tacos. BBQ steak tacos and the MOONRISE burrito are totally making me want a drink!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, the food menu is solid that day. You've got prosciutto melon with mascarpone, shirasu omelet, and even Japanese red sea bream ceviche, all easy to connect with the IPA's citrus character.
MugiWait, there are even mountain vegetables!? The spring-like dishes are strong, and calamansi mandarin bruschetta is basically calling for a beer!

MugiIf you can make a reservation and get takeout too, then there are basically only reasons to go! I'm in the mood for IPA tonight, and I want to head out with tacos in hand and drink this collaboration!
