MOONRISE KINGDOM taps BLACK TIDE brewing’s "Tohoku Pride - IPL" on June 23
The West Shinjuku beer pub MOONRISE KINGDOM announced its June 23 opening, featuring a new guest tap from BLACK TIDE brewing: "Tohoku Pride - IPL." The lineup also includes three domestic taps and 30 domestic and imported bottles.
Hop BroThere’s a tap update in Nishi-Shinjuku worth tracking. On June 23, MOONRISE KINGDOM is pouring BLACK TIDE brewing’s Tohoku Pride - IPL as a new guest beer.
MugiWait, MOONRISE KINGDOM already sounds like a movie title! And Tohoku Pride? That name alone makes me want to hold my glass with extra determination!
Hop BroThe style is India Pale Lager. It gives you IPA-like floral hop aroma, but drinks with the lighter, cleaner feel of a lager.
MugiWhat is that! India Pale Lager is so long I need a breathing break just to order it! Is it an IPA or a lager? Which team is it on?
Hop BroNo need to overthink it. It’s basically the best of both: the hops float up nicely, the malt stays balanced, and the finish stays crisp.
MugiOhhh! So it has a light, easy finish? That sounds perfect for a hot day, especially if you still want real aroma in the glass!
Hop BroAnd the pub setup is strong too: 3 domestic taps plus 30 bottled beers from Japan and abroad. You can start with the featured pour, then wander off into bottle territory.
Mugi30 bottled beers is how people completely lose track of their just one drink promise! I’d be frozen in front of the fridge in five minutes.
Hop BroThe food lineup pulls its weight too. Mexican birria, fresh fish ceviche, KINGDOM burritos, and even garlic shrimp. Pair that with Tohoku Pride - IPL and things escalate fast.
MugiAnd it’s on the first floor of Tenku MURA in Nishi-Shinjuku, built to enjoy culture across borders with music and films in the mix, plus weekend hours through Sunday. Yeah, both of us definitely want a drink now.
