Hop BroMarumugi, the craft beer bar in Arakicho, has announced its five-beer September 17 lineup. It runs from easy drinkers to bitterness monsters—what a range.
MugiWhat? We can try five different beers? I might freeze with happiness in front of that menu!
Hop BroStart with Y.MARKET BREWING from Aichi: “Frais Pils,” a 4.5% floral French pils. It is aromatic, bright, and crisp on the palate.
MugiWhat is a French pils? Does it become a magically stylish pilsner if I say cheers in French?
Hop BroClose! A pilsner is a pale lager with a clean, crisp finish; this one also emphasizes aroma. In short, it is light but aromatic.
Hop BroFor bitterness fans, there is Baird Brewing’s “Brewer’s Nightmare Rye IPA” from Shizuoka. At 7.0%, it layers spicy rye character with intense IPA bitterness.
Mugi“Brewer’s Nightmare”!? My tongue has started an evacuation drill already! Does rye add a toasty bread-like note, too?
Hop BroExactly. Rye can bring toastiness and a peppery edge. Tokyo’s Vector Brewing also offers “Onedari White Socks,” a sweetly aromatic White IPA, for a very different direction.
MugiNo way! If there are sweet aromas as well as bitterness, I want to taste them in sequence. The Maple Amber Ale has a sweet, nutty richness too, right?
Hop BroRight. Romantick Village Craft Brewery’s 6.0% Maple Amber Ale suits slow sipping. For the first or final pour, Hinomoto Brewing’s “Little Thing” is a light, hoppy choice.
MugiMarumugi is about three minutes from Yotsuya-sanchome Station and open from 6 p.m. to midnight. With the small size plus surcharge, our tonight’s tasting mission should happen!
Hop BroJust remember it is closed Tuesdays and public holidays. Pils to warm up, Rye IPA to shout about, maple for the finish—let’s go drink in Arakicho!
