MugiSeriously? I want to go! But is the business schedule for late March irregular?
Hop BroYou need to watch the dates: 3/16 is fully reserved, 3/20 is reserved from 13:00 to 15:30 with regular service from 16:00, and 3/27 is a temporary closure for Torikago.
MugiGot it, timing matters! And what I'm really curious about is the five beers currently on tap, sensei!
Hop BroFirst up, there's Suzume Lager with its light floral and herbal feel, and Tomo, an IPA using corn. This adjunct-corn IPA is really interesting.
MugiWhat? What do you mean by adjunct? If you put corn in it, does it taste like popcorn!?
Hop BroTo keep it from going off the rails: it means using a little something besides malt to adjust aroma and mouthfeel, and Tomo brings a bright citrus aroma with a lingering bitterness.
MugiWhoa! Then tell me the other three too. I want to build a tasting route!
Hop BroKindred Dunkel has caramel and toast with berry notes, Kurage no Hone has bitter chocolate and dark-roast coffee, and Setsudō uses Aomori apples for a gentle fruity acidity.
MugiOne brewery covering that much range is strong... a Shirosuzume-only Kagawa lineup with five kinds is ridiculously luxurious!
MugiAfter a spring stroll around Takamatsu, I want to stop in and have Setsudō and Tomo for an immediate toast!
Hop BroThat's the best. As long as you don't miss the hours, it'll be perfect, so next let's conquer all five taps!

Five Taps Available Now
The same post also shares detailed tasting notes on the beers currently being served. All of them are from the brewery's own "Shirosuzume (Kagawa)" lineup.
- Suzume Lager: A gentle aroma reminiscent of flowers, herbs, and citrus peel. Light, clean, and easy-drinking with little in the way of rough edges.
- Tomo: An IPA brewed with corn as an adjunct. A lively aroma that brings to mind pineapple, hassaku citrus, grapefruit, and white grape, along with a firm, lingering bitterness.
- Kindred Dunkel: Deep amber in color. A layered beer centered on caramel and toast notes, with hints of berries and marmalade.
- Kurage no Hone: Roasty notes of bitter chocolate and dark-roast coffee, plus fruitiness that evokes berries and cherries. A sharp finish is its defining trait.
- Setsudō: Made with apples from Aomori Prefecture. Gentle fruit aroma and mild acidity give it both freshness and satisfying depth.
