Hop BroMukuraf, the beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo, updated its tap info on the evening of May 29, and the six draft beers lined up are a seriously strong selection.
MugiWhat, six beers!? And a beer pub with plenty of seats available means it's the kind of place you can just drop by casually!
Hop BroExactly, and the lineup is good too. From `KaruizawaQ "Along the Way" Irish Red` to `Nomcraft "7thRevolution SourIPA"` and `Open Air Brewing "breakthrough" Hazy IPA`, it's packed with distinctive picks.
MugiWhat is that!? SourIPA, is it sour? Is it an IPA? The name is so crowded my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroGood question. A Sour IPA is a style that adds acidity to an IPA's hop character, so it finishes with a crisp snap. Here there's also `Nomcraft "7thRevolution WCIPA"`, so it's fun to compare the direction of the bitterness.
MugiI get it! And `Y.MARKET BREWING "BEER-TEX #1.3 Rainy Jacket"` and `LIBUSHI Bashamichi "Haze or Haze Not." Hazy IPA` sound stylish just from the names, so I'm getting hyped!
Hop BroThe bottles are pretty strong too. They even have `Uchu Brewing "KONBINI IPA"`, `WestCoastBrewing "Starwatcher"`, and `VERTERE "MangoSour w/Pineapple & Chili"`, so there are almost too many choices.
MugiWait, they even have cider!? `GreenNeighborHardCider` has all kinds of apple-based drinks, so the non-beer options are really well stocked!
Hop BroThe food doesn't miss either. There's a galette with blue cheese, lemon pasta, spicy curry, and a salted caramel galette. They also have marinated sea bream sashimi and pudding, so it's very Mukuraf in how easy it is to pair with food.
MugiThat makes me want to drink there! Going in with IPA, then finishing with a sour or hard cider, isn't that the best flow?
Hop BroYeah, and the post also said they'll bring in the next one as soon as a keg kicks, so the scene changes every time you go. Tonight really makes you want to have a drink at Mukuraf.
In Mukuraf's evening post on May 29, the lineup for the day was announced alongside a Friday service note describing the weather as "strong sunlight, but with a somewhat cool breeze." There was plenty of seating available inside, and walk-ins looking for beer only were welcome. It was a familiar neighborhood-beer-pub setup that made it easy to enjoy alongside the food menu.
At that point, there were six draft beers on tap. The lineup consisted of `KaruizawaQ "Along the Way" Irish Red`, `Nomcraft "7thRevolution SourIPA"`, `Open Air Brewing "breakthrough" Hazy IPA`, `Y.MARKET BREWING "BEER-TEX #1.3 Rainy Jacket"`, `Nomcraft "7thRevolution WCIPA"`, and `LIBUSHI Bashamichi "Haze or Haze Not." Hazy IPA`. The post noted that there were "no new kegs tapped yet today," and that the next beer would come in once one kicked.
The bottle selection was also impressive, with `GreenNeighborHardCider` offering "HARUKA SINGLE VARIETAL," "CITRUS with CALAMANSI," "LA FRANCE," "ALL. 18 Kinds of Apples," and "SOUR," `Uchu Brewing` with "KONBINI IPA," `GROUND TAP BREWING` with "TSURUGI," "TSUTSUJI," and "TARUMONJI," `WestCoastBrewing` with "PassionWizard," "Hop Fua," "Starwatcher," "No Ketchup," and "Triple Cone," `Collective Arts` with "BetweenThePalms," "RubyStriker," "GrapeCalamansiSour," "SummitPeak," "LifeInTheClouds," "GoodMonster," and "RansackTheUniverse," and `VERTERE` with "Vespa," "MangoSour w/Pineapple & Chili," and "Heliconia."
On the food side, the menu included a galette with blue cheese, lemon pasta, spicy curry, and a salted caramel galette, plus marinated sea bream sashimi, potatoes, and pudding. With filling IPAs and Hazy beers alongside sour beers and hard cider, it was a lineup that made it easy to pair drinks with food and enjoy a wide range of options.
