MaruMugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku lists five craft beers for July 31
The beer pub Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, posted its July 31 craft beer lineup. Five beers are available, ranging from a session IPA and fruit sour to a Bohemian pils, schwarzbier, and hop-forward pale ale.
Hop BroToday’s lineup from Marumugi in Arakicho has five taps for July 31, and honestly it’s the kind of spread that makes you want to order a flight right away.
MugiWhat! Five beers at once sounds like a full-on festival. What are they pouring?
Hop BroThe range is seriously good. There’s Baird Brewing x Shibataya’s Session IPA MEET² (Meat & Meat), HOPDOG BREWING’s Akita Peach Sour, Baird’s Cool Breeze Pils, Baeren’s Schwarz, and Y.MARKET BREWING’s Purple Jet Sky.
MugiHold on, Session IPA? Is that a beer for meetings? Does it come with an agenda?
Hop BroNot that kind of session. It means a lighter-drinking IPA with plenty of hop aroma but less heaviness, which is why MEET² is built to work nicely with meat dishes.
MugiOoh, then Akita Peach Sour is calling my name. The second I hear “peach,” my brain goes straight into summer mode.
Hop BroThat one sounds like a strong pick. HOPDOG BREWING is bringing fruity, tart character, so you get soft peach aroma from Akita fruit with that crisp sour snap.
MugiBut Schwarz sounds way too intense. It feels like the final boss of the beer list.
Hop BroThe name is dramatic, but the beer is elegant. Baeren’s Schwarz is all about toasty roasted malt, and the same list also has the summery Bohemian pils Cool Breeze Pils plus the extra-hoppy pale ale Purple Jet Sky.
MugiWow, that is perfect for a tasting run. Light, fruity, crisp, dark, hoppy... you can basically pick by mood.
Hop BroAnd Marumugi makes it easy to explore, since the base pricing is large 1200 yen / small 900 yen plus a little extra depending on the beer.
MugiThat settles it, this is the last drink of July kind of lineup. I already want to start with the peach sour and somehow still save room for MEET².
MaruMugi, a beer pub on the second floor of Ichibankan Building at 1 Arakicho, Shinjuku, announced its beer menu for July 31. The base pricing is JPY 1,200+tax for a large pour and JPY 900+tax for a small pour, with some selections carrying an additional JPY 100.
The lineup features five beers from breweries around Japan: "MEET² (Meat & Meat) / Baird Brewing x Shibataya Sake Shop (Shizuoka Pref.)", a Session IPA designed to pair with meat dishes; "Akita no Momo no Sour / HOPDOG BREWING (Akita)", a dry fruit beer with the aroma of Akita peaches; "Cool Breeze Pils / Baird Brewing (Shizuoka)", a summer-only Bohemian pils; "Schwarz / Baeren Bier (Iwate Pref.)", a roasty but surprisingly light schwarzbier; and "Purple Jet Sky / Y.MARKET BREWING (Aichi)", a more hop-loaded, refreshing pale ale.
The range is broad enough to cover a first pint, a food-pairing beer, and something to sip more slowly at the end of the night. Marumugi also notes that it has been closed on Tuesdays and public holidays since December 5, 2024. For a final-day-of-the-month visit, this is a well-balanced draft list built around variety rather than volume.
