Hop BroMarumugi, a craft beer bar in Arakicho near Yotsuya, has revealed its five taps for November 2. It’s a lineup that travels through Nagano, Shizuoka, and Mie.
MugiWhat? Five beers to try? I want to open a glass before I even open a map!
Hop BroThe standout is Minami-Shinshu Beer’s MOONLIGHT IPA. At 7.0% ABV, it has bright hop aroma and a deep finish made for autumn nights.
MugiI hear IPA all the time, but what is hop aroma? The hops aren’t wearing perfume, right?!
Hop BroClose! Hops are a plant that gives beer aroma and bitterness, and IPA is a style that celebrates them. They often bring bright floral or citrus notes.
MugiWow! Then what’s Shizuoka’s Repubrew ONE MORE like? Even the name sounds like an irresistible refill trap!
Hop BroAt 5.0%, it’s light and easy-going—the kind you finish and immediately want another. Meanwhile, Shima Brewing’s Brown IPA is 6.5%, pairing toasty malt with hops.
MugiToasty malt too?! It sounds like a drinkable baked treat—my stomach is growling. But won’t the hops make the flavors collide?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Malt lays down a bready, caramel-like base, while hops add aroma. Isekadoya Beer’s Classic Pale Ale also balances fragrance and satisfying flavor beautifully.
MugiAnd we finish with Baird Brewing’s Joy de Vivre, right? A 7.5% Belgian-style beer named for “small joys in life”—my heart is already full!
Hop BroIt’s rich and layered. Start with 1,000-yen small pours, then choose a favorite for a 1,300-yen large. Closed Tuesdays and holidays, so check before heading to Arakicho!
MugiDone! Let’s find a favorite worthy of graduating from small to large. I want an autumn-night toast at Marumugi!
