Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo, has posted its tap list for August 6. The lineup spans five beers, including a Baird Brewing x Shibataya Shoten collaboration IPA, a fruit beer, a lemon-forward hazy ale, a schwarzbier, and a hoppy pale ale.
Hop BroArakicho's Local Beer Bar Marumugi has a seriously good tap list for August 6. Five beers are on, led by a Baird x Shibataya collab IPA.
MugiWait, five beers on tap and that includes apple, lemon, and a dark beer? That lineup sounds like everybody showed up in a different costume!
Hop BroThe headliner is MEET² (Meat & Meat). It's a session IPA from Baird Brewing x Shibataya Liquor Store, built to lift the umami in meat dishes.
MugiHold on, session IPA means what exactly? An IPA that's somehow light? That sounds like a bodybuilder wearing slippers.
Hop BroPretty much. It has an easy-drinking body, but it still keeps the hop character clear, so you can stay with it for more than one glass.
MugiWhoa, then with meat that's basically an endless bite-and-sip loop. Plate gone, glass gone, self-control gone.
Hop BroAnd they've also got Apple Hop Shinano Gold Ver. from Minami Shinshu Beer. It's a fruit beer with the aroma of Shinshu apples really leading the way, so it should work nicely with food too.
MugiApple and then lemon too? Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed Session Hazy IPA sounds like summer vacation in a glass.
Hop BroThat's a new one from Miyazaki Hideji Beer, with an easygoing 4.5% ABV. It uses Nichinan Meyer lemon juice and peel, layered with juicy hops and bright acidity.
MugiEvery time I hear hazy IPA, I picture a delicious cloud. So we're talking soft, juicy, and a little foggy-looking?
Hop BroExactly, a softer texture and aroma spread. Then there's the toasty Schwarz from Baeren, plus Purple Jet Sky from Y.MARKET BREWING, a pale ale with extra hops, so the range is wide.
MugiAnd it's large 1200 yen, small 900 yen? A full trip from light IPA to dark beer after work in Shinjuku sounds way too efficient.
Hop BroAs an after-work beer stop, this is strong. You could open with MEET², swing through the lemon hazy, and finish clean with the Schwarz.
MugiI'm already hearing the toast in my head. Tonight's first glass has to be at Marumugi.
