This limited release offers the malty depth typical of a Vienna lager along with aromas from New Zealand hops, and it can be enjoyed in the casual first-floor space of the hotel.
Hop BroThat collaboration has opened on tap again this year at Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar in Shibuya, right?
MugiWait, what is it? Just the name Mikkeller x Baeren already sounds delicious!
Hop BroThe official name is Coolship Vienna Lager, and it was released in limited quantities on February 25, 2026.
MugiWhat’s a Vienna lager? When you say malty depth so vaguely, it makes me even more curious!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a lager style where the sweetness and toastiness of the grain stand out, and on top of that you get a big malt depth.
MugiBut hops too? New Zealand hops make it sound like a breeze from the Southern Hemisphere suddenly showed up!
Hop BroExactly. They use Bullet and Experimental076, and the interesting part is how they layer in aromas like ripe orange and peach.
MugiAnd a coolship? The name already sounds powerful! Dry hopping sounds like some kind of finishing move, doesn’t it?
Hop BroIt’s a brewing method where the beer is cooled and then hopped to bring out a vivid aroma. If you can drink it at a 20-tap bar, there’s no way to stop at one.
MugiPlus it’s within walking distance of Shibuya Station, and sharing space with Onibus Coffee is amazing! It’s perfect for a drink after work!
Hop BroIt pairs well with meat dishes and spicy snacks too, and although it isn’t flashy, it builds gradually. I’d like to check out its emerging contours as you drink tonight together.
MugiYeah, we definitely have to go! The feeling that I want to check out the aroma might be the strongest thing on my mind today!
