Marumugi in Shinjuku Lists Five Craft Beers for July 27
Beer pub Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku posted its July 27 tap lineup with five beers on offer. The selection ranges from a summer pilsner and a peach sour to a roasty schwarzbier and a juicy IPA.
Hop BroThe July 27 lineup at Shinjuku-Arakicho's Ji-Beer Bar Marumugi has a summer-ready five-tap spread. It jumps from Baird's Cool Breeze Pils to HOPDOG BREWING's peach sour, and the range is great.
MugiWhat, all in one day? From crisp to roasty? That's basically my mood swings in beer form!
Hop BroAnd Marumugi is a great tasting-stop for that. Large pours are 1,200 yen plus, small are 900 yen plus, and some taps add another 100 yen, so sampling around is the move.
MugiThen I want to start with Baird Brewing's Cool Breeze Pils! Just hearing summer-limited pils makes me feel an imaginary breeze.
Hop BroThat one is a Bohemian pils, with malty depth and bright hops together. Not just bitter, more like a clean lager with extra character.
MugiBohemian suddenly sounds fancy! Then what is Session IPA supposed to mean? It sounds like a gym membership.
Hop BroFair question. A Session IPA is an easy-drinking IPA you can stay with for a while. MEET² from Baird Brewing x Shibataya Saketen sits at 5.0% and is built to lift meat dishes.
MugiWow. But Bearen Brewery's Schwarz is dark, right? A light black beer sounds like my brain getting crossed wires!
Hop BroThat's the fun of it. You get toasty roast notes without the beer turning heavy, so it still works on a hot day and even as a dark-beer starter.
MugiAnd then HOPDOG BREWING's Akita Peach Sour! Peachy but dry means it's not pretending to be juice, right?
Hop BroExactly. It's a refreshing 3.5%, and if you finish with Roman Village Craft Brewery's Shuhai IPA, the peach-and-grape burst really lands. Honestly, I want to drink that order myself.
MugiSo we cool off with pils, laugh with sour, settle in with Schwarz, and cheer with IPA. I want Marumugi now, and I am absolutely checking the Tuesday and holiday closure first!
