Marumugi in Shinjuku Posts a Five-Beer Tap Lineup for July 25
The beer pub Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, has posted its July 25 tap lineup. The list ranges from a Baird x Shibataya Session IPA to a peach-forward sour, plus a summer pils, a schwarz, and a celebratory juicy IPA.
Hop BroToday's lineup from Ji-Beer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku just dropped: five draft beers, spanning summer crushers to dark beer.
MugiWait, five beers on tap already has me spiraling! If it goes from crisp to dark, my mood is going to change every five minutes!
Hop BroThe headliner is Baird Brewing x Shibataya's MEET². It's a Session IPA with rye spice, rich dark-malt depth, and citrus-plus-berry aromatics, built to pair with meat.
MugiHold on, Session IPA sounds way too advanced! Is that like an IPA you drink while sitting through a meeting?!
Hop BroBasically it's a lighter IPA. Lower alcohol, plenty of hop aroma, and easy to keep drinking without getting worn out.
MugiOoh! Then on a hot day I'd start with Akita Peach Sour from HOPDOG BREWING. Dry and just 3.5%? That's basically throat warm-ups!
Hop BroThat's a strong move. Then there's Baird's Cool Breeze Pils, a summer-only Bohemian pils with fresh hop snap and straight-up malt flavor.
MugiWait, Bohemian pils sounds like a beer that travels by train and writes poetry!
Hop BroHa, more like a clean Czech-style lager. Refreshing but not watery, and they also have Baeren's easygoing Schwarz, so even dark-beer beginners can jump in.
MugiA dark beer with that look-versus-flavor gap? That's such a cool overachiever move!
Hop BroFor the finish, I'd eye Romantic Village Craft Brewery's Shukuhai IPA. It's juicy like peach and grape, 6.7%, and flashy in a very anniversary-beer way.
MugiAnd with large at 1,200 yen plus alpha and small at 900 yen plus alpha, this is a full tasting flight mission for me!
Hop BroHere's the ideal run: peach sour first, MEET² in the middle, then Shukuhai IPA late. Arakicho tonight is dangerously tempting.
MugiThen it's settled! I want the full five-beer summer route up on that second floor, and now I'm thirsty just thinking about it!
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, shared its craft beer lineup for July 25. The standard pricing is ¥1,200+ for the large size and ¥900+ for the small size, with an additional ¥100 surcharge on selected beers.
The centerpiece of the list is MEET² (Meat & Meat) from Baird Brewing x Shibataya Saketen. It is a Session IPA built around rye-driven spice and dark malt depth, layered with grapefruit, lemon, and berry-like hop aromatics. The beer is clearly positioned as a match for meat dishes.
For something fruitier, Marumugi is also pouring Akita no Momo no Sour from HOPDOG BREWING. At 3.5% ABV, it is described as a dry, refreshing beer with the aroma of Akita peaches, making it an easy early pick on a hot day.
If you want a crisp, hop-led option, Cool Breeze Pils from Baird Brewing is on the board as well. This summer-only Bohemian pils is built to showcase clean hop freshness and the grainy sweetness of malt. On the darker side, Schwarz from Baeren Brewery offers roasted malt aroma with a surprisingly light finish, making it approachable even for drinkers who do not usually reach for black beer.
To finish, Shukuhai IPA from Romanchic Village Craft Brewery brings a juicy profile with peach and grape notes at 6.7% ABV. As a beer tied to a 30th-anniversary celebration, it adds a more festive note to the lineup.
Marumugi is located on the second floor of Ichibankan Building at 1 Arakicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo. The pub is closed on Tuesdays and national holidays, and it is a good stop when you want to compare distinct tap beers at an unhurried pace.
