Kyoto's Mugishu Yumeyomi Taps YOROCCO×GODSPPED's "CelebrationLager"
The beer pub Mugishu Yumeyomi in Gion, Kyoto, announced guest beers for its Sunday, May 24 service from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The lineup centers on YOROCCO×GODSPPED's "CelebrationLager," alongside Hida Takayama Weizen and Q's Irish Red, all in limited quantities.
Hop BroThe Kyoto Gion Mugishu Yumeyomi is putting out a guest keg on May 24 from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The headliner is YOROCCO×GODSPPED's CelebrationLager, and this time it shows up as a smoked pils.
MugiWhoa, what's a smoked pils? Did they put smoke into a pilsner?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's like adding the aroma of smoked malt to the crispness of a pilsner. And since it's what's left from Thursday's Maniac Beer Day, the quantity is quite limited.
MugiLimited means the competition is already fierce! So if you don't get there early, it's basically sold-out warning territory?
Hop BroExactly. Heading there early is the right move. This has the feel of a first-come, first-served draft beer situation, so if you take your time, you'll probably miss out.
MugiAre there other things to drink too? If there's a lot, it's basically a taste-test paradise!
Hop BroThat day will also have Hida Takayama Weizen and Q's Irish Red on tap. The light wheat aroma, the calm malt character of the red ale, and the smoked lager all have very different personalities.
MugiI get the Weizen, but what does an Irish Red taste like? Red makes me think it would be sweet.
Hop BroIt usually has toasty malt character and a gentle richness, and it's often not as heavy as it looks. The food is also planned as Kamo eggplant agebitashi, which gives it a nice Kyoto-specific touch.
MugiEggplant instead of tacos is the best! Just having a drink in Gion already lifts my mood, and it makes me want to drop by alone.
Hop BroAnd since they welcome solo guests, don't take reservations, and don't take large groups, it's the kind of place that works well for popping in and working through the draft list. Cash, PayPay, and major credit cards are all accepted too, which helps.
MugiAll right, then it's time to meet up early. From the smoked lager to the red one, today feels like a day to toast in Kyoto!
The beer pub Mugishu Yumeyomi in Gion, Kyoto, announced its guest kegs for its Sunday, May 24 service from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The headliner is YOROCCO×GODSPPED's CelebrationLager, served as a smoked pils. It is said to be what's left over from the Maniac Beer Day poured on Thursday, so the quantity is small. It would be best to head there early.
The draft lineup for the day also includes Hida Takayama Weizen and Q's Irish Red. Both are said to be in short supply, making this an intriguing lineup for anyone who wants to compare multiple styles side by side. The combination of a light, airy Weizen, a calm red-leaning Irish Red, and a lager with smoky notes should make it easy to enjoy their differences even during a short visit.
Instead of tacos, the food will feature agebitashi made with Kamo eggplant from Kamigamo. The menu is built around pairing beer with a dish that feels distinctly Kyoto. The shop is a beer pub on the second floor of the Shimaya Building, welcomes solo guests, and does not accept large groups. Reservations are not accepted, and in addition to cash, PayPay and major credit cards are accepted. Set in the atmospheric backstreets of Gion, it is the kind of place suited to a day spent slowly working through draft beer.
