Marumugi posts its July 24 tap list with five beers from Shiga Kogen and HOPDOG
Jibiru Bar Marumugi, a beer pub in Araki-cho, Shinjuku, has published its beer lineup for July 24. The list features five drinks at the standard large and small glass prices, ranging from a pale ale and a fruit sour to a pilsner, brown ale, and IPA.
Hop BroToday’s July 24 tap list is seriously good. Marumugi in Arakicho has five on, including Shiga Kogen and HOPDOG.
MugiWhat! A five-beer lineup with both Shiga Kogen and HOPDOG? That’s exactly the kind of thing that pulls me in after work.
Hop BroAnd the style range is wide. You’ve got Africa Pale Ale, Akita Peach Sour, Cool Breeze Pils, a Brown Ale, and Shukuhai IPA, so it runs from light and crisp to full-on juicy.
MugiHold on, Bohemian pils sounds like some special attack move. That’s actually a beer?
Hop BroYep, definitely a beer. A Bohemian pils is a clean lager with bready malt and a sharp, refreshing bitterness. Baird’s Cool Breeze Pils is built for summer and drinks like a breeze.
MugiOhhh! Then where does Akita Peach Sour fit in? The second I heard peach, my brain ran straight to dessert.
Hop BroThat’s the trick, it’s a fruit cider so it’s not sugary peach juice at all. HOPDOG BREWING uses Akita peaches, but keeps it dry, bright, and super easy to keep sipping.
MugiNo way, there’s a brown ale too? The name sounds calm, but once you say toasty malt, it suddenly feels like the dependable senior of the lineup.
Hop BroThat comparison is weirdly accurate. Marumugi is all about the personality of each keg, and both Isekadoya’s Brown Ale and Romantic Village’s Shukuhai IPA clearly show their own character.
MugiI’m done for. 1,200 yen for a large or 900 yen for a small, I don’t care, I want to walk over from Yotsuya-sanchome and compare Africa Pale Ale with Shukuhai IPA.
Hop BroAnd then finish with Shiga Kogen’s pale ale for one more round. This is exactly the kind of tap list that makes you want to drink through the whole board.
