Hop BroMOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku lined up four OHLOY BREWING beers on the April 30 tap list. Onda, Riso, Luna, and Luv - just seeing the lineup makes their different personalities stand out, which is fun.
MugiWhoa! Four totally different genres? From Cold IPA to sour is a huge swing all at once!
Hop BroExactly. First up, Onda is a Cold IPA. It focuses on sharpness, and even though the hop aroma pops, the mouthfeel stays light. It is razor crisp, but it still leaves some umami behind.
MugiWhat even is a Cold IPA? Is it cold because it's an IPA? That name sounds cool, but my brain is having trouble keeping up.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it is an IPA with a cleaner, lager-like feel. So it is light but aromatic, basically the best of both worlds. It makes sense that it pairs well with food.
MugiI get it! Then Riso's Rice Lager sounds even easier to drink. And with hassaku in it, it sounds like it would have this soft Japanese citrus aroma - that sounds delicious!
Hop BroThat is the right image. The hassaku citrus character makes it a great match for fried foods or salty snacks. It feels like the clean finish of a lager with a clear layer of fruit on top.
MugiAnd Luna is a Dark Lager! So it is the kind that is black but not too heavy, right? It looks like night, but it goes down easily - that is kind of unfair!
Hop BroRight, the key is how easy black beers can be to drink. It has roast character, but the lager profile keeps the finish clean. And when Luv comes in, the scene shifts all at once toward sweet-tart.
MugiLuv's Raspberry Sour Ale sounds like so much fun! If you drink that after the lager styles, your mouth would feel like a roller coaster!
Hop BroAnd MOONRISE KINGDOM is a small beer pub in Nishi-Shinjuku, so this kind of side-by-side tasting is exactly right. Start with Onda today, move to Riso, then Luna, and finish with Luv - that would be a really solid flow.
MugiWow, now I really want to go! Chasing weekly tap changes is totally a rabbit hole. Hey, Hop big bro, can we have one right now?
Hop BroOf course. This lineup is worth drinking. If these four are on tap in Nishi-Shinjuku, there is no reason not to compare them, and today is definitely going to be a delicious day.
MugiThen it is settled! I want to go in order from Onda and end with a big smile after Luv!
The beer pub MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku 6-chome released its tap list for April 30. The post shows four cans from OHLOY BREWING lined up, confirming the four offerings: Onda, Riso, Luna, and Luv.
This lineup ranges widely, from a crisp lager to a fruity sour. Onda is a Cold IPA, Riso is a Rice Lager made with hassaku, Luna is a Dark Lager, and Luv is a Sour Ale with raspberry. Because the styles are clearly distinct, it is easy to pick one to match your mood or meal.
MOONRISE KINGDOM is a small beer pub located on the first floor of Tenku MURA. In a quiet part of Nishi-Shinjuku, it is the kind of place where you can enjoy each pour one by one while keeping up with the rotating taps. This OHLOY BREWING selection offers a lineup that lets you compare the drinkability of lager styles and the acidity of sour ale at the same table, making it a pretty well-rounded spread for beer fans.
If you are pairing with food, the sharp Onda or the hassaku-infused Riso would be easy choices. If you want something dark, go with Luna; if you are after a little playful acidity, Luv is the pick. With taps changing weekly, this is one place worth adding to your list when you are stopping by Nishi-Shinjuku.
