Five craft beers tap on May 13 at Marumugi, a local beer bar in Shinjuku
Beer pub "Jibeer Bar Marumugi" in Arakicho, Shinjuku Ward, has revealed today's craft beer lineup for May 13. Five distinctive beers from domestic breweries, including COEDO, Y.MARKET BREWING, and Ise Kadoya Brewery, are on offer, with sizes starting from large 1,200 yen + α and small 900 yen + α.
Hop BroToday, the interesting place is Jibeer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku. The draft lineup for May 13 is all set, and the character of each domestic brewery is lined up nicely.
MugiWhoa, that many are on tap!? Five draft beers sounds like the kind of lineup that is fun before you even choose.
Hop BroA great first glass would be COEDO's Marihana. It's a session IPA, and the citrus aroma comes through lightly, so it's perfect as a warm-up to start with.
MugiWhat's a session IPA?! I get that it means easy to drink, but suddenly you sound like a pro!
Hop BroBasically, it's an IPA with the alcohol feel kept lower, making the aroma and drinkability easier to enjoy. On this day at Marumugi, if you compare it with something like Y.MARKET BREWING's Over Drive IPA, which puts bitterness front and center, the differences come through clearly.
MugiWow, even within IPA, they're completely different! Hearing bitterness front and center makes it sound a little intense, but now I want to try it.
Hop BroIf you slip in Ise Kadoya Brewery's Mugi no Manimani, that works well too. It's toasty and crisp, and it goes down smoothly, so it can also reset your palate.
MugiWhat is that, the honor student of drinking! Toasty and crisp sounds reassuring just from the name alone~.
Hop BroAnd then there are Baird Brewing's Fruitful Life Citrus IPA and Minami Shinshu Beer’s Komagatake Ale. The former is a fruit-forward IPA bursting with citrus, while the latter is a golden ale with freshness and body, and you can casually try them starting at large 1,200 yen + α and small 900 yen + α.
MugiWait, that's totally the kind of lineup that makes you want to hop from one to the next! Comparison tasting is fun, and if you stop by after work, it would be amazing.
Hop BroAnd it's only a 3-minute walk from Yotsuya-Sanchome, so the best part is being able to enjoy it in a relaxed setting. It's closed on Tuesdays and public holidays, so if you're going, time it right and I'd love to have a drink at Marumugi.
MugiYeah, yeah, my head is completely full of beer now! I totally get that feeling of wanting to drink right now.
