Mugibaru in Kamata Announces Summer Menu Update and Upcoming Taps
Mugibaru, a beer pub in Nishi-Kamata, shared a menu update on Instagram along with its current tap lineup. The bar is known as a hidden, dog-friendly spot focused on IPA-leaning craft beer and casual Japanese dishes, with several new kegs already lined up next.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Mugibaru in Kamata. Their summer menu update, plus the current five taps and the next keg lineup, is exactly the kind of news that wrecks a beer fan’s schedule.
MugiWait, that’s the dog-friendly hideaway beer bar, right? It’s walkable from Kamata Station and now it sounds way too strong to count as a casual stop.
Hop BroThe current tap list is solid too. Isekadoya Beer’s Ohisama Ale is an XPA at 5.5%, bright and easy, basically ideal for the first pour.
MugiWhoa, but what is XPA? It sounds like IPA’s flashy cousin, and I’m already bracing for impact.
Hop BroXPA means Extra Pale Ale. It’s hoppy but light, so you get the aroma without the full IPA-level bitterness, which makes it a great entry point.
MugiOhh, got it! Then Sankt Gallen’s Pineapple Ale sounds approachable too. And Brut IPA is the one where beer suddenly starts acting fancy, right?
Hop BroThat description is honestly not bad. A Brut IPA is brewed to finish dry and crisp, so it feels sleek, and with pineapple on top it becomes ridiculously summer-friendly.
MugiBut hold on, Minoh Beer’s W-IPA at 9% and Isekadoya’s Nekojima at 8% are not messing around, are they? One glass and my conversation might start floating away.
Hop BroThat’s why the lineup is smart. The Jukusen pilsner from Asahi resets your palate, and it should pair cleanly with the chilled noodles, Japanese pickles, and pork kimchi.
MugiThat sounds perfect! Cold noodles and pork kimchi with a flight that moves from light to heavy feels like the correct way to survive summer.
Hop BroAnd the next keg candidates are strong: COEDO’s Kyara, DD4D’s Hazy IPA, Yellow Monkey Brewing’s barrel-aged IPA, and the big eye-catcher, Cho Shonan Gold, made with twice the usual amount of citrus fruit.
MugiThat is completely unfair. The phrase double the citrus already has me wanting both the current five taps and the next round. I want to go drink at Mugibaru right now!
Mugibaru is a beer pub in Nishi-Kamata, Tokyo. It is presented as a hidden beer bar where dogs are welcome, and its appeal lies in pairing IPA-leaning craft beer with casual Japanese food in an easygoing setting within walking distance of Kamata Station.
The Instagram post breaks down the current tap list and also notes summer-only dishes. The present lineup is:
- Ohisama Ale / Ise Kadoya Beer / XPA / 5.5%
- W-IPA / Minoh Beer / w-IPA / 9%
- Pineapple Ale / Sankt Gallen / Brut IPA / 5%
- Nekojima / Ise Kadoya Beer / Hazy Double IPA / 8%
- Jukusen / Asahi / Pilsner / 5.5%
The range is broad enough to cover fruit-driven beer, hazy double IPA, strong IPA, and a standard pilsner, which makes the list useful both for food pairing and for side-by-side tasting. Summer menu items mentioned in the post include cold noodles, Japanese-style pickles, and pork kimchi, which fit the season well.
Upcoming kegs, once something kicks, are also listed: Kara from COEDO (IPL / 5.5%), Barrel Aged Imperial IPA from Yellow Monkey Brewing (Barrel Aged IPA / 9.5%), Super Shonan Gold from Sankt Gallen (Fruit Ale / 5%), and HAZY IPA from DD4D (HAZY IPA / 6.5%). Super Shonan Gold is described as using twice the usual amount of citrus fruit, making it a notable warm-weather option.
