Marumugi in Shinjuku taps peach Weizen and citrus IPA lineup on Aug. 10
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, posted its craft beer lineup for August 10. The selection spans a peach Weizen, a lemon Session Hazy IPA, an altbier, and a West Coast IPA, offering a broad range from bright and fruity to malty and hop-forward.
Hop BroToday's August 10 tap list looks strong. At Ji-Beer Bar MaruMugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, they've lined up peach weizen, citrus IPA, alt, and even a West Coast IPA.
MugiWhat! Peach weizen and citrus IPA on the same day? That sounds like a summer reward pack, and now my feet want to head for Shinjuku after work.
Hop BroThe standout is Minoh Beer's Domestic Peach Weizen Early Ver. They use Arakawa peaches from Wakayama, so you get peach layered over banana-and-clove notes.
MugiWait, clove-like aroma? We're talking spices now? How did peaches invite a whole spice rack into the glass?
Hop BroWeizen is a top-fermented wheat beer, and the yeast throws banana-like and lightly spicy aromas. That's why it stays beer, not peach juice in disguise.
MugiWhoa! Then what about Miyazaki Hideji Beer's lemon Hazy IPA? Just hearing the name makes my mouth pucker.
Hop BroIts full name is Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed Session Hazy IPA, and the star is the fresh lemon snap. At 4.5%, it's easy-drinking, with soft haze texture underneath.
MugiHere we go again, Session Hazy IPA sounds like three genres in a trench coat. How is it cloudy and light at the same time?
Hop BroSession means it's a built-for-longer drinking kind of beer. Lower alcohol, easier sip. Hazy just means the body feels softer and juicier.
MugiGot it! And with Yokohama Beer's alt there too, that's a toasty reset button in the middle. Sprint with fruit, then catch your breath with malt.
Hop BroExactly, and Ushitora Brewery's HOP SNIPEER IPA brings defined West Coast bitterness from three hop varieties. Start with Yorimichi no Lager, finish there, and honestly I'd want another round.
MugiLight lager, peach, lemon, and bitterness all in one lineup is made for tasting flights! I seriously want to stop by MaruMugi tonight and argue over what to toast with first.
