Craft Beer Bar mugi in Kamihnobori-cho, Hiroshima, has added El Segundo Brewing Company's Broken Skull IPA as a guest beer. The American IPA is known for its Stone Cold Steve Austin tie-in, 6.7% ABV, and a hop bill built around Citra, Cascade, and Chinook.
Hop BroWhen I heard that mugi in Hiroshima tapped Broken Skull IPA, I paid attention immediately. It’s a guest beer from El Segundo Brewing Company, and it sounds like a straight-down-the-middle American IPA.
MugiWhat! That name is intense. Sounds like a wrestling move, not a beer!
Hop BroThat’s part of the appeal. It’s a collaboration IPA with Stone Cold Steve Austin, so the whole thing has a big personality, right down to the catchphrase.
MugiWow! So it’s not just famous, it also has serious tasty-beer energy. What does it actually taste like?
Hop BroIt uses Citra, Cascade, and Chinook, so you’ve got three-hop character with bright aroma, firm bitterness, and a crisp finish. It’s classic IPA territory.
MugiHold on, what does crisp finish even mean? You made that sound like a kitchen knife!
Hop BroHa, basically it means the flavor doesn’t linger in a heavy, sugary way. It has a clean pull-away after each sip, so the bitterness stays satisfying without feeling clunky.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! So it hits hard but still goes down nicely. Also, is 6.7% ABV strong?
Hop BroFor an IPA, that’s pretty standard, with enough body to feel substantial. And finding a distinct imported IPA like this at mugi in Kaminobori-cho, Naka Ward, is exactly why guest taps are fun.
MugiThat sounds excellent! I already want to raise a glass and go full Stone Cold mode with this one.
Hop BroExactly. It’s got both flavor and story, so if you love hop aroma, this is a must-watch guest tap for sure.
MugiThen it’s settled. Now I really want to head to mugi and see how this classic American IPA drinks for myself!
